Rated X by and all white jury!, 24 May 2009
10/10
Author: hellbillyrebel from United States

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

The production cost of BLACK DEVIL DOLL breaks down to one puppet, five reasonably priced nude females, one hundred jugs of Karo syrup, miscellaneous pharmaceuticals, and $10,000 in Oakland Fried Chicken. The results pay off like a multi-million-dollar lottery.

The movie opens with black militant Mubia Abul-Jama (Jonathan Lewis) marching down Death Row to be executed for his crimes against Caucasian society. Just as Jama rides the lightning, the bored and busty Heather (Heather Murphy) unwittingly transports his soul into the body of a ventriloquist's dummy during a desultory Ouija board séance.

Mubia wastes no time demonstrating his miniature pimp hand. Naturally, Heather falls in love; the busty beauty dumps her wannabe rapper boyfriend White-T and submits to the doll's sexual hunger. Roll the puppet romance montage.

But this puppet needs some strange. Some trim. Some fresh white tail. While White-T weeps in Wigger angst, Mubia commands Heather to round up her bimbo girlfriends.

What follows is a relentless, abusive, and uproarious onslaught of rape, misogyny, mutilation, mayonnaise, mass murder, sodomy, toilet humor and racially charged puppet high-jinks. The movie's many freak-out sequences were filmed in Negroscope, a patented process which visualizes the puppet's psychosis in a multi-layered, psychedelic blur of Black History Month flashbacks.

From the puppet's first demonic eyeball-roll to the mind-melting, sphincter-shattering climax, BLACK DEVIL DOLL delivers the total package to your door...and says "F**K YOU!" when you sign for it. Eruptions of H.G. Lewis-style gore, Russ Meyer-like breasts, graphic necrophilia, salad-tossing, and the funniest prison-rape joke in recent memory are just a few highlights; the actors rightly allow the wooden doll to upstage them, and the original soundtrack by Giallo's Flame completes the atmosphere.

During the film's world premiere at L.A.'s New Beverly Cinema, an emcee hurled over-sized black dildos into the sold-out crowd while director Jonathan Lewis smiled serenely. The audience went wild.

Eldridge Cleaver is still on ice, but the Black Devil Doll is on fire. Long may his magic chocolate wand wave, and deep may he thrust into your honky soul!

An instant Cult Classic! Sick, Twisted, Hilarious, Memorable. Can't wait for the DVD!, 24 May 2009
10/10
Author: Raymond love from United States

I've been following Black Devil Doll for what seems like two years now and I finally got to check it out at a screening last night. Simply put I was blown away, it far exceeded my expectations!

I don't normally post reviews on these boards, I mean reviews aren't anything but opinions, you need to see the film for yourself, ya know what I mean? But when I read the review by "J.D." I had to say something, with all due respect, I know its his opinion but he is way off from what the majority of Black Devil Doll's target audience will think, based on the screening I attended as well as what other friends and reviewers of the film have said.

This line in the J.D. review bothered me: "They obviously had fun making the film, but the goal should ultimately be for the AUDIENCE to have fun watching it." The audience I saw it with and the audiences four other friends have seen it with have been so loud, crazy and so enthusiastic you an hardly hear the film from all the laughing and yelling at the screen. To say we didn't have fun is crazy.

Black Devil Doll is funny, smart, fast paced, well made, and the music was excellent!

Its made for the "drunk" crowd, thats for sure. And yes, its toilet humor to the max, but its clear from the get-go that was the point and intention of the filmmakers. And yes toilet humor can be SMART! Black Devil Doll is proof of that! Its one of those movies you just turn off your brain and have a good time, I'd say Its the ultimate party movie, the kind of movie you put on with friends and have some drinks. Its loud, obnoxious, sick, twisted fun. Its an instant cult classic.

As a fan of horror and exploitation films, I highly recommend Black Devil Doll!

Black Devil Doll...filmed in NEGROSCOPE!, 14 June 2009
10/10
Author: whammy666 from United States

Ahh where do I begin? I had been following this movie for probably over a year, and since I first saw the hilarious looking trailer, I had put it at the top of my list with movies to see, along with Bad Biology. And I remember that the DVD was supposed to be released last year, and I was disappointed to find that they delayed the release, but I am happy because I got to experience Black Devil Doll on the big screen, in a theater, the way it should be seen. And it was more than worth the wait. Trust me. This movie is like no other film you have seen in your life, trust me. And you will never see a film like this again. And that is more than a good thing. This film is definitely not for the easily offended, not for the faint of heart, not for those who are easily grossed out, and you get the idea. Full of nudity, violence, gore, and more awesomeness, this must be the most fun I have had in a theater since I saw Poultrygeist. There are scenes that will make you scream OH MY GOD, scenes that will make you laugh your butt off, and scenes that are just plain wrong. It all adds up to one hilarious fun time. I must also add that the score from Giallos Flame is excellent, 70's style music. From the credits, I knew I was in the presence of greatness. The black devil doll is one of the most entertaining characters in film history, and will be sure to make you laugh. Whether you like the movie or not, you will be entertained. Just know what you are in for. It is sick, twisted, funny, gross, and so wrong, but oh, so right. I really wish there were more movies like this. It screams sequel!

Dares to be challenged as racist? Or is racist!, 26 October 2009
1/10
Author: d-lewis476 from United Kingdom

For some time I had to think about this movie. It certainly isn't a typical 2/10 home made self-deceived fabrication. After numerous people had praised it, I was certainly beginning to doubt my judgement. It is a movie that describes the rather dubious satisfaction of large busted white women by a sexually adept and stereotypical black doll. If this is an acceptable parody of white attitudes to black people then forgive me. But I honestly imagine that were I black I would be offended and very justifiably so. I can appreciate that in certain regards there is some professionalism that has gone into this racist diatribe but nonetheless....get over your fear that the foreigner will steal your women!
