1What a useless husband…
Finished the movie and my first thought was - this would have a different ending with a better husband. Not that he was the only useless character, but his lack of fucks given was surprising.The movie is almost 2 hours long and they do not try to get rid of the doll for more than half of it. The denial that something shady is happening reaches new heights. The doll be running in front of them, climbing on their backs and we get “I must have imagined it”, baby girl it’s not the case of “seeing movement in the corner of the eyesight”, this doll was less sneaky than Annabelle. Even Chucky was better at pretending to be a normal doll.
The professionals in the movie were also of questionable quality - the psychiatrist ignoring clear signs of panic and delusion, the police that does nothing except getting in trouble, the spiritual experts that fail over and over again.
All that said, it was still such a good and fun movie. From the opening scenes I thought it would lead more towards serious psychological drama, but it quickly took a u-turn into wacky supernatural madness. Some scenes gave me goosebumps and the “nope, that’s it, I’d be out of this situation yesterday”, some scenes were borderline funny almost bringing me to tears.
If we go by plot points, there are so many separate acts there, but the transition between them and the pacing was well done - it did not feel jumpy, they all connected smoothly.
Acting wise, the biggest props to Ikemura Aoi who played baby Mai.
For the production, I have to say , they must have been drunk when they were constructing the face of the doll in the second half. Is it creepy? Yes. Is it also hilarious? Also yes. The teeth… these just made me feel uncomfortable.
Overall, it’s not new, it’s not groundbreaking, but it does a good job of delivering the obvious story in an engaging way.
