I wouldn\u2019t say \u201cThe Twisted Doll\u201d is a bad movie, as it\u2019s a solidly written picture with some good performances, I just wished I knew more about the characters to understand their motivations.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>For a movie about revenge, we have to understand or at least gain some kind of comprehension toward the motivation for vengeance. But \u201cThe Twisted Doll\u201d works at a nine minute run time with a premise that could very well be stretched in to an eighty minute movie. Not to mention a damn sharp one with a sick finale. That said director de Burgh makes due with what he has, creating a stark revenge thriller around a beautiful young girl played by Elisha Kriis befriends a young man and engages in a relationship with him.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s secretly planning his undoing though thanks to a doll she\u2019s acquired by a spiritual woman. \u201cThe Twisted Doll\u201d is a decent effort that results in just an okay movie. Elisha Kriis has presence and could make a wonderful seductress\/heroine given enough meaty material to work with, but sadly the movie is over before we get a chance to know her well. Director de Burgh is a talented director but I\u2019d love to see \u201cThe Twisted Doll\u201d re-imagined in to a feature length thriller somewhere down the line with Ms. Kriis returning, and so much more narrative injected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ultimately I am a big fan of the revenge picture, but \u201cThe Twisted Doll\u201d is the victim of too much story and not enough run time. \u201cThe Twisted Doll\u201d by director Andrew de Burgh feels like he had an initially larger scope story in hand and kind of reduced it for a nine minute movie.
