Review of The Devil-Doll (1936) by Jonathan S — 11 Aug 2012
Creepy little horror film from the director of "Freaks", Tod Browning and co-written by Erich von Stroheim. Drew Barrymore's great uncle Lionel Barrymore plays an escaped prisoner from Devil's Island who is seeking revenge on those who framed him.
His plan involves dressing up as an old woman who opens a doll shop, and then shrinking real people and animals to doll size to carry out his evil plans. How could you not want to watch a movie with that kind of a set-up? Mia Farrow's mom, Maureen O'Sullivan, plays Barrymore's daughter, who I think I have a crush on.
