Devil Doll
The old chestnut of the the crazed ventriloquist possessed by his dummy dates back at least to the early talkie The Great Gabbo, and probably reached its apogee in the Michael Redgrave episode of Dead of Night. But director Lindsay Shonteff’s underrated (partly because it was lampooned on MST3K) chiller has merits of its own, and throws a few clever twists into the expected stew. Original director Sidney Furie is said to have kept an eye on the production after departing for greener pastures. Star Bryant Haliday was one of the founders of pioneering art film distrib Janus Films in 1956.
