A horror movie that follows in the footsteps of the CHILD'S PLAY films, but shirks on the humor to offer something far more frightening, MARRONNIER is a high-quality Japanese terror-tale. An insane yet brilliant inventor conjures up a diabolical invention that has the capacity to turn human beings into dolls. Young Marino idolizes her doll, but is unaware of its origins in the deadly inventor's machine, leading to some bizarre, surreal, and downright deadly consequences. The inventor's assistant stalks Marino after taking a liking to her, ultimately kidnapping the terrified girl and her friends, then unleashing a legion of killer dolls on them. Murder and mayhem ensues in this inventive flick from director Akira Kobayashi.
