A heartbroken witch makes a demented clown doll, curses it, then sends it to her ex boyfriend's house as a present for his daughter. When she opens the package all hell breaks loose as the twisted little clown doll does what it was made to do, kill.
Alright first of all let me make it known that this movie is only a little over half an hour long, secondly it was made on a very minimal budget with unknown actors. With that I have to say I didn't really like this short at all.
It starts out with this blonde haired gothic girl in a black cloak and, get this, blue jeans. So she's out in a public park sewing together a doll then cuts off her ring finger and curses the doll. Well I think she puts her finger in the nose of the doll because it's the only part of the doll that moves. It's kinda dumb. Anyways she sends the package with the doll inside to her ex boyfriend's house as a gift for his daughter. Well she opens up the box, takes the doll out and immediately falls in love with it. With the doll comes a strange odor from the box that the wife blames her husband of farting which was kinda a cute little addition to dialog. The daughter masks the stench with perfume and whatnot so her mom doesn't toss it out and next thing you know she's laying in bed with the doll while her mom and dad are in their room having it out. So as their arguing the doll somehow gets up and goes in their room and kills them both.
 
Forward another 30 years and the little girl is now a grown woman in a mental asylum with a straitjacket on and everything, including the clown doll by her side. So the doll gets taken from her and somehow ends up at her brother's house. Now keep in mind it's been 30 years by what the movie says but if you look at her she looks like she's in her early to mid 20's and he talks and looks like he's in his 60's though they were only a few years apart as kids. It's hillarious how bad the brother does as an old man. Either way, she gets the doll back and we find out the true motive of the doll.
So this short was strange, very strange, and the clown doll, just something I dont like in general, anything that has to do with clowns, and the acting wasn't good to me either. I dunno, all around I'm just glad this movie didn't stretch out another hour long. That's the best part about the movie, it was short. WOO HOO!
Not really all that creative and really hoaxy but it might be fun to watch when you're at home smoking clove cigarettes and pushing draino in your butt cheeks. Personally it's not my bag, so I wouldn't suggest anyone watch it.
