Steve Pulaski Black Devil Doll is a nasty little picture, one with no apparent moral compass and the desire to mix the elements and aesthetics of blaxploitation films of the 1970's while loosely following the premise of the Child's Play series and making a priority out of including numerous scenes of doll-on-human sexual intercourse.The film is inspired by the 1984 film of the same name just with "from Hell" added to the end of the title so we know exactly where this absurd little character once resided. This film's director, Jonathan Louis Lewis, clearly has admiration and a love for the films of the blaxploitation genre, a genre which was largely responsible for hiring young and old black talent in the 1970's to headline such inane pictures as Blacula and Black Dynamite. Lewis, however, creates a film that, while easy to admire for its devotion to such a quirky chapter in cinema's history, is hard to watch and incredibly uncomfortable to sit through, even in its barely-cinematic state of sixty-three minutes.The main issue is with the approach Lewis chooses to take, which is seemingly to cater to the people who love to watch two foot tall wooden dolls have sex with full-grown women, with the camera, of course, focused on their voluptuous figures. This gets tedious really quickly, especially when the film's one-note joke isn't overplayed but severely underplayed once its intentions become clear. The film is a horror film, like many blaxploitation films were, but it takes so long to build to its horror elements and scenes of violence and gore that we've already laughed so much to even be ready for the horror elements. When they come, it's the most awkward "oh yeah" moment, after we just watched a black puppet have hardcore sex with several different women.The film's slender story involves Heather (Heather Murphy), a young teen with a bulging bust in a cleavage-bearing top, who is bored one day and decides to remedy her boredom by screwing about with an Ouija board. Heather's antics come back to bite her when the Ouija Board brings her doll to life in the form of a recently deceased serial killer who murdered fifteen Caucasian women before raping them. Now, Heather meets the "black devil doll," falls in love with it, has sex with it numerous times, and so forth.The second act takes a wee bit of a darker turn, with Heather inviting numerous friends over for an afternoon of fun and drinks but not before the doll can violently assault and have sex with each one.Films like Black Devil Doll take the very principles of what film criticism was erected off of and shred them so they're unrecognizable. How to rate a film like this effectively is a mystery to me. While the film technically does what it sets out to do, that doesn't mean I had a grand time watching it. The film is so bogged down in dirty-mindedness, gratuitous nudity, graphic, redundant scenes of puppet-on-human sex that do nothing but make one uncomfortable, and then gore and violence to conclude the picture that is tacked on in a way that makes it seem unsure of its own direction.As stated, Lewis clearly has a fondness for old school horror and the blaxploitation genre. Because of that, I hope he chooses to exercise it again at a later date. This is a picture that would've worked as a short rather than a medium-length film. Better yet, it would've worked best as a daydream.Starring: Heather Murphy. Voiced by: Martin Boone. Directed by: Jonathan Louis Lewis.

Brianna Johnson When I first heard about this movie, I was expecting a movie up to par with the 1984 "classic"! Sadly this movie has little to do with Chester Novell Turner's movie.The plot follows a young women (a very busty and attractive one) who is bored and decides to play with wedgie board (spelled wrong). This brings back the soul of a 1960s black panther inside of the doll.That is basically the plot. The movie it's self very unfunny. The problem is the writer's attempt to be controversial without an real sense of humor. I feel like the movie was written by 13 year olds, especially with all the homophobic humor and nudity. Even if you view this with the notion of it being one of those movies so bad it is good, then you are out of luck. The original film is one of those movies. This is not, because there is not enough bad material to have that mark. It is also surprising slow at some parts.Not really worth a watch, just go see the original if you really want a good laugh!

lastliberal I have been seeing promos and clips of this film for months, so you can imagine how excited I was to finally get to see it. This was going to be way better than all those Chucky movies.This movie is the very definition of blaxploitation. Every stereotype you can imagine is in here.In addition every sexual act that you can imagine is in here too. I won't list them, but your perversion has to be included.The blood flows freely after Devil Doll is through with the women, and in one case, with the man.The bulk of the blood and all the gore was saved for the ending, which was so over the top I watched with my mouth wide open.

Ozzy Noggin Black Devil Doll is 100% exploitation. Pure Trash. Pure Fun. But it is extremely low-brow and certainly ain't for everyone as you can see by some of the reviews on here and other sites I have looked up.I think its a love it or hate it type of film.One thing I find annoying are the reviewers that complain about the acting. Hello!!! Did you really expect "good" acting from a film about a black puppet that rapes and kills white women? Seriously? Its just not the kind of film you watch for good acting. It is the kind of film you watch if you want to see a black puppet rape, kill, do copious amounts of drugs, cuss like a ghetto superstar, toss salad, smack around some hoes, and spray toxic diarrhea! But having said that, I think all the ladies did a great job in their rolls and god bless them for going all the way and letting a black puppet eat them out! Black Devil Doll is meant to be "bad" and it wallows in its badness like a pig in sh!t. Anyone expecting anything else from this little film is just stupid.The film is fast pasted, brilliantly edited, has great music, hilarious, and sick as hell with some of the most off the wall stuff every filmed.Exploitation fans, do yourself a favor, pick this one up, add it to your collection, its a modern exploitation masterpiece.
