The Doll Master
April 19, 2007 The Doll MasterLooks like a remake of "The Haunting" by Jan de Bont:the younger generation being bound with old curses for an ancestoral sin,but this using doll spirits like other doll-haunting movies.
But the feminine relationship between the doll and the lady sculptor is touching. I dropped tears when the girl in red cried and lay against her. The ghost transformation, however, from a fierce-looking red-eyed angry spirit back to an innocent-looking girl in red pinafore could have been gradual instead of sudden, or just look almost the same in the red pinafore.
There is a little reflection of the wasteful human nature here,though, that makes it meaningful:a tendency of abandoning old items(a doll in this case) still in good condition and blindly seeking the new and fashionable.It would have been intellectually effective if this reflection was done by an environmental or welfare documentation.:P
