This film starts with so much promise. Beautiful, eerie images fill the screen as our main character, Baby Doll, is forcibly placed in a mental institution where she is to undergo a lobotomy. That alone sounds intriguing, right? Well, that’s just the beginning of an extremely intricate and sadly overcomplicated plot that straddles three different fantasy worlds that Baby Doll creates.
Like a video game, Baby Doll and her other sexy friends use swords, kung-fu kicks and sucker punches to fight enemies and magical gather objects that will free them from their prisons… Confused yet? While the styling and effects in this film are often brilliant, the story is overly complex and goes nowhere, and you’re left feeling slightly cheated. It doesn’t mean, however, that your eyes won’t enjoy the visual fest.
Rating: 3 outta 5.
