Rag Doll, Slasher Raggedy Ann

We have a grim one, today.  No humor, wit, or relief from a bloody ominous horror with a big knife.  Our villain today is an oversized Raggedy Ann doll, named Emily (Junior Wunna). The doll has quite the history and a big knife.  Don't get too attached to anyone in this film no matter how big their...er, their smiles are.  Our feature today is the Chrissie Wunna spectacular, 2023's "Rag Doll," directed by Ben Ivory.

As our film begins the six-foot-tall rag doll, with its big knife, slashes two sultry sisters.  Happens.  Fast forward, Chia (Chrissie Wunna) and her lesbian lover Monica (Danielle Scott) are moving into a country house with Chia's daughter Crystal (Ruby Wunna).  Both Monica and Chia have great big...smiles and will have a pre-marital sex scene later and will swap a lot of spit.  This is not okay with Crystal who is angry her mom decided she played for the other team and left her dad, Dom (Benjamin Schnau). A really ripped up rag doll is found, the same one that leveled the sultry sisters, and Crystal decides she likes it. The doll is Crystal's only friend and Crystal is very hostile to the sultry Monica. The lesbians have a dinner party and invite a gay couple, Jonny (Connor Powles) and Rob (Scott McGlynn). Crystal is hostile to all of them because these alternative lifestyles have ruined her family life.

The rag doll comes to life and begins murdering anyone who has anything to do with this film. The gay couple will not fare well and either will...well, you'll see.  Recognizing the assets of Monica and Chia, the movie maker dresses them up in some party gowns you will not believe!  Crystal continues to be unhappy and the rag doll gets more bloodthirsty.  We're filled in on the backstory and it is a grotesque one.  Unfortunately for Monica and Chia, the psycho-doll has no fondness for alternate lifestyles.

Just how did the knife-wielding rag doll come about?  Will the lesbian couple with the great big...smiles, have a chance against the maniacal Raggedy Ann thing that stalks their house?  Will Crystal's attachment to her new companion lead to issues with her mom?  The cast is fantastic and great looking.  The doll is menacing and the knife is big.  For a neat slasher film, see "Rag Doll," and enjoy all that Chrissie Wunna has to offer.
