Right, well you know exactly what to expect from a movie such as this when you sit down to watch "The Big Doll House". And if you've seen one of the numerous exploitation movies from the same era as "The Big Doll House", then you have essentially seen them all - more or less. Sure, there may be some deviation in the plot from movie to movie, but roughly said, it is the same standard formula each movie follows.
I decided to watch "The Big Doll House" solely because Sid Haig was in the movie. But it was also nice to see Pam Grier - whose name is very much the essence of these exploitation movies - perform in the movie. But I was actually also interested in the movie as it was filmed in the Philippines, though this was merely a backdrop that reared its head from time to time.
Sure, you should not expect a particularly well-constructed plotline or script, nor expect overly much from the dialogue. But the movie has what it offers, and you will not be disappointed, I am sure.
There is a little bit of drama, suspense, action and erotica in the movie. But nothing that really turned out overwhelmingly interesting any of them. Which resulted in a very bland and mediocre movie, despite this being an exploitation movie, which aren't all together all that great to begin with.
Hardly an outstanding movie, and hardly a movie that I will be returning to watch a second time.
