Title: "Dead of Night" it ain't!
Review: I bought this in high hopes after reading very favourable reviews, wondering why I had not come across this film before as I am a fan of 50's/60's black and white horror films. After watching "Devil Doll" I realised how lucky I was - to avoid it for the past 40 years! It is pretty damn awful - the high points are the puppet's startling resemblance to comedian Jimmy Carr, and the hero's private-eye pal, who is a ringer for Sid James with a dodgy mid-Atlantic accent. This is awful - if you want a genuinely scary ventriloquist story from this genre seek out the Michael Redgrave segment on the "Dead of Night"(1946) anthology. Now that's a dummy that really will give you nightmares.
