Devil Doll1964

Horror Vault's take

A charismatic but deeply sinister stage hypnotist conceals a dark secret behind his ventriloquist act, one that blurs the line between performer and puppet in deeply disturbing ways. When a wealthy heiress enters his orbit, his true motives begin to surface — and they have nothing to do with showmanship. This 1964 British chiller draws on the classic tradition of the malevolent mesmerist, lacing its mystery with creeping dread. Fans of mid-century psychological horror will find its atmosphere and unsettling central gimmick hard to shake.
