mommy issues, schizophrenia and agalmatophilia all jammed into one film. very nice stylistic choices to compliment the hitchcock-esque storytelling. although it’s similar to hitchcock in some sort of way, it still over explains too much. it tries too hard to create a horrifying image with turning dying humans into mannequins with blood, honestly it just pales out to me.

usually, i’m fine with over the top performances and very odd plot points but the main character really annoyed the hell out of me. his demeanor and obvious delusions didn’t make his character more interesting to me. i just wanted him to kill more. 

i did like the loud soundtrack, trying to confuse audiences with the vibe of the whole film. the psychology behind his forced gender and sexuality was quite interesting to me. and the production design is a very aesthetically pleasing texas chainsaw massacre. this film needed to be more shocking and bold.

This movie joyfully frolics through at least three different levels of insanity, but boy is it beautiful! The bold colors, always veneering towards the red; the imagery of the manequins, the mask and the hearts; the Gaudíesque setting, it’s all a feast for the eyes, the opening kill is gorgeous! As for the story, El Asesino de Muñecas is clearly a child of Psycho, but without aiming for a twist, we’re given more time to spend with this Norman Bates and his twisted psyche, which is always interesting. There are also a lot of unintentionally funny moments that only fans of older horror films know how to appreciate. I loved every second of it.
