Dollhouse
ドールハウス
After losing their child, a mother finds solace in a life-sized ancient doll she finds on the market. When a new daughter enters the family's life, strange things begin to happen and no matter how hard the family tries to get rid of it, the doll always finds its way back.
Why it matters
A slow-burning folk horror that uses a cursed doll to probe grief and the haunting persistence of loss.
- Anchored by a raw, unsettling performance from the lead, capturing a mother unraveling in real time.
- The doll’s design nods to classic practical effects masters, with uncanny, tactile presence over cheap CGI.
- Rooted in regional folklore vibes, it’s less jump scares, more creeping dread and atmosphere.
- Perfect for fans of intimate hauntings like The Babadook or The Taking of Deborah Logan who want horror that lingers beyond the screen.
