“He’s a lover! He’s a killer! He’s a muthafuckin’ puppet!”
Ever wonder what would happen if the sleazeballs behind
Rotten Cotton Graphics got their hands on a camera, penned a script
and decided to shoot the fucker? Well you’d get a raunchy, politically
incorrect violent exploitation romp into nihilism, all at the hands of a
demonic Negro puppet, in
Black Devil Doll. Move over Chucky!
When boredom abounds, Heather (Murphy) an unsuspecting buxom bimbo
messes around with a Ouija board and unleashes pure evil. She manages
to summon a recently executed black militant convicted rapist/murderer
who is reincarnated and sent into her ventriloquist dummy! What was
once a typical Howdy Doody looking doll turns into a jive talkin’
Black Devil Doll with a hankerin’ for big skanky white asses
and a thirst for bloodshed.

Heather swiftly falls for her Afro-American-man-doll, and why not? He “might
be a muthafuckin’ puppet now”, but he’s also “all that and a bowl
of Chitlins!” Their relationship progresses with several hilarious
sexcapades, but when the doll grows tired of the same ol’ chick, he
forces Heather to bring her friends over so he can get in on the
action. “Every once in a while a dog needs to piss in some other
bitch’s yard!” he explains. She reluctantly obliges and throws a
party with her girlfriends. The only problem is, can the demonic doll
merely bang bitches or will his primal murderous urges take over and
make him go too far?
Black Devil Doll is
a rejuvenation of exploitation. What a treat it is to see unabashed
un-pc dialog and situations run amok onscreen these days. This flick is
jam packed with naked stripper chicks, rape, murder, and some of the
most hilarious racial dialog around. You almost have to watch the film
a second time to pick up on all the trash talkin’ that comes from the
doll. Right from the ghetto, er get-go the tone is set, with comedic
monologues like Heather asking the doll, “Why do you say the N word
so much?” “Baby, I say nigga over 100 times a day. It’s the
only thing that keeps my teeth white.” the Devil Doll explains.
The film is filled with memorable scenes. The
Black Devil Doll’s
ass-eating abilities, a car wash rap video montage, a scene where
White-T (Martin Boone) tries to get his girlfriend back from the doll,
and even a scene where the doll completely demolishes a bathroom door by
spraying his apocalyptic shit on it. In another sequence, as soon as
the girls arrive for their party, they immediately compare each other’s
tits. One manages to throw in an unabashed Rotten Cotton promo while
another proclaims her need to take a shit. Classick stuff.

Black Devil Doll
is a treat to behold, and shows what can be accomplished by a handful of
sickos with some talent and a vision. From the dolls design, the cool
dreamlike pastel visuals, the awesome score to the amazing intro title
sequence, this film delivers the raunchy goodness.

Black Devil Doll has
been summoned on DVD by Lowest Common Denominator Entertainment with a
1.85:1 aspect ratio. For an independent production this film looks
amazing. Definite accolades are deserved by the clarity and vibrancy
this transfer holds. The audio is Dolby Digital 5.1 and is crisp and
clear. Not only is the film kickass, but it also contains a slew of
extras. We start with a ridiculous amount of commentaries. There’s a
commentary with the
Black Devil Doll
himself, a cast commentary featuring Heather Murphy, Natasha Talonz,
Precious Cox, Erica Branich and Martin Boone, and a crew commentary with
director Jonathan Lewis, and co-producers/co-writers Shawn Lewis and
Michell Mayes. There’s also a technical commentary with director of
photography/editor John Osteen and production designer Michell Mayes and
a fan commentary. The best of the batch are probably the crew and
technical commentaries. You’ll be able to spend hours to find out for
yourself. Next there is an ‘Audience Reaction Track’ recorded at the
premiere at The New Beverly in Hollywood, which is similar to what
Grindhouse did for their DVD release of
Pieces. A ‘Videos’ section contains a 4-minute clip from the
‘Hollywood Premiere’ with director Jonathan Lewis. ‘Convention Clip
Intro’ is a 1-minute clip featuring the
Black Devil Doll.
There’s a 7-minute interview with Jonathan Lewis by Glenn MacNeil titled
‘Netherworld Videozine Interview’. The chick from Sick Girl also
tags along. Rounding out the supplemental features are three killer
animated shorts by the incredibly talented Rich Moyer. The first is
titled ‘Bootleggers’ to show you what the
Black Devil Doll
does to pirates of independent cinema. ‘Rated X’ shows the doll
murdering the censors followed by the ravaging of a white chick. The
third is ‘KKK’ and showcases President Obama mingling with a white
trailer trash clansman. The culmination of the extras is a general and
unrated trailer for
Black Devil Doll,
Brawling Broads II and production and publicity photo galleries.
