Dollhouse
Like a slasher movie without the killer! Improvised and loose movie that's good in parts. A group of scangers break into a friend's house and wreck the place. A posh neighbour arrives, and there's a shocking but silly ending (with an aged Deirdre O'Kane!). Too contrived to really work and the story is silly. Also, two of the girls are difficult to tell apart. Nothing happens and there's little tension. Has the appearance of copying better films but there are some good parts. The music is well done and even includes a song from Willy Wonka! Also, it's well made which makes it look a bit too polished for this kind of film. Not as bad as expected and certainly better than several Irish films released this year.
