In the picturesque Park Güell of Barcelona, the groundskeeper’s son is having a crisis. Prone to mood swings and screaming fits, he begins to see himself and those around him as mannequins. THE KILLER OF DOLLS is a story of a man at war with himself. David Rocha plays Paul, the protagonist, with unforgettable intensity. As Paul begins to kill the “dolls” he says he hates, how much of his own fractured self-image is tied up in his quest for extermination? This film is a perfect 70s exploitation gem. Psychedelic freakouts, off-kilter acting, and gruesome kills will dazzle you, your friends, lovers, enemies, and anyone else with $5.
