Robert Alda plays a man haunted the vision of a beautiful blonde he sees in his dreams. He is restless and quits his job which put him in a bad way with his girlfriend. One night while out walking he finds a doll that is the image of the girl in his dreams. When he returns the next day with his girlfriend not only does the shop keeper (Neil "Commissioner Gordon" Hamilton) tell him he commissioned the doll, but he shows the couple one that looks like the girlfriend. It soon transpires that the dolls are voodoo dolls and Alda is in the clutches of a voodoo cult run by Hamilton.
Its weird seeing Commissioner Gordon from TV's Batman as an evil villain but here it is. The movie itself is an okay little film thriller. Clearly done on the cheap the film is fine on its own terms but isn't anything really special. Its not really scary but more creepy. Unfortunately it never adds up to much. Its like watching an extended episode of a horror anthology TV series. Actually the film reminded me of the erotic thrillers that populate some of the late night cable stations since its clear that the Alda and the blonde are sleeping together and she is always two steps from being undressed, it probably would have been better if there had been some sex.
Worth seeing if you run across it but not something to search out.
