whether you consider charles band a low budget genius or a scourge to film maker everywhere and he certainly have an active imagination . blood doll blend several of his favorite theme killer ( and marketable ) doll and freak and and rock music into a trademark memorable twisted film . blood dolls certainly sport an odd cast of character . there be virgil ( jack maturin ) and eccentric billionaire and his right hand man mascaro and an assassin with clown make up and and his butler and little person phil mascaro . virgil also have a faithful band in a cage and a rock anti spice girl ( each member of the band have a ` baby nick name ) who play dark and death theme background music on command or get shock . when virgil run into any trouble and he send mascaro and his own personal strike force and the blood doll pimp and sideshow and and ms. fortune . the film antagonist and though much more normal ( with one notable exception ) and may not be a weirdly entertain a the film bizarre protagonist and but they be well act ( they have to be and since they do not have a gimmick to fall back on ) and still great character ( they just have incredible protagonist to contend with . ) and with enjoyable line and albeit some fairly standard death scene . though they be the title character and the blood doll be and surprisingly and not the film main focus . a the film continue and it turn from a simple killer doll film to a twisted romance . the transition be smooth and and add a sense of freshness to the story while there be even two ending and one for the romantically incline and another and more typical end . the plot innovation be believable because of maturin great facial expression and delivery during his interaction with other character . unfortunately and the practical effect budget bar maturin from be in any shot other than close ups while a well use puppet head ( it not totally apparent and and be use sparingly from careful angle to prevent it from become so ) take his place in a couple shot . like many full moon release and cg effect be ditch in favor of practical effect and and though they work well for virgil and the rest of the film and the blood doll be not as animate a their fellow killer puppet in the puppet master series while they look fantastic but move more stiffly . perhaps this be partially why band make this film more story orient than death orient . though not all professional musician and an original idea be for the actress play virgil band in a cage to record a soundtrack cd and go on tour after the film release a the blood doll . this be scrap and but the majority of the movie soundtrack be provide by the band ( along with a music video on the dvd ) and be quite good ( it could certainly fit in with some of today band ) . the theme and lyric be quite dark and but be present in an almost pop music manner and catchy and relatively up tempo . charles band have remark that by the time full moon have make 500 picture that he hop blood doll will be one that truly stand out . blood doll be a unique and entertaining film that definitely fit band hope a one of the best full moon release .
