Killing of the Dolls

'Killing of the Dolls', from director Michael Skaife, is the auto-psychoanalysis of a psychopath whose mental illness is based upon one of the most characteristic springs of criminal psychopathology: The big drama of double personality. The movie plot is simple in essence but dense and murky on the screen.

Paul (David Rocha), the son of a gardener that works on a enormous mansion has come back with his parents after having obstreperously failed in his medicine studies. He's a emotionally unstable young man whose hobby is collecting dolls. This liking comes from a very special reason: when his sister died, Paul was educated like a girl. Shortly after his comeback, some strange murders are committed.
