DOLLY DEAREST Hits Blu-ray for the very first time on 4/28

Director Maria Lease’s early 90s cult favorite Dolly Dearest with Denise Crosby (Pet Sematary), Sam Bottoms (Apocalypse Now), and Rip Torn (Men in Black) isn’t an easy flick to find.

But today we hear that the good folks over at Vinegar Syndrome will be bringing the flick to us on Blu-ray for the very first time, in a brand new 2K restoration next month.

Check out the killer cover art and special features below!

SPECIAL FEATURES:

  • Region Free Blu-ray/DVD combo
  • Newly scanned & restored in 2k from its 35mm interpositive
  • “Playing With Dolls” – an interview with lead actress Denise Crosby
  • “Dressing the Part” – an interview with actor Ed Gale
  • Reversible cover artwork
  • SDH English subtitles

The sole horror feature directed by veteran exploitation crew-woman and actress, Maria Lease was produced by Dan Cady (Grave of the Vampire). It takes a thematic nod from Child’s Play while upping the weirdness and tells the tale of an American family who relocates to Mexico, where Elliot takes over a doll factory. As they settle into their fresh surroundings, Jessica forms a special bond with her new doll, spending hours with it in her large playhouse. But soon, her mother and older brother sense that something isn’t quite right with the sweetly faced toy. It’s not long before strange and frightening events start to occur, and members of the household begin turning up dead in a series of apparent ‘accidents’.

Dolly Dearest hits Blu-ray for the very first time via VinegarSyndrome on April 28, 2020.
