Dolls

While babysitting her 'stupid' little brother Jimmy, Zoe hears 'ballerina' music playing from his room. Upon inspection she finds him sat at a table surrounded by dolls. Jimmy tells her "they only move when the music stops", of course they do.

Director Statement

We decided to create a film that we thought tapped into a fear a lot of people had, the fear of Dolls. The film was inspired by the young actress Jess who when she was young would place all her dolls to face the wall as she didn't like them looking at her. Spooky!!
