AMERICAN DOLLHOUSE

Director: John Valley. Cast: Hailley Lauren, Kelsey Pribilski, Richard C. Jones, Tinus Seaux.  USA 2026. 87 mins. 

UK PREMIERE -  A modern take on PSYCHO, BLACK CHRISTMAS and a genre response to social anxiety, paranoia, familial myths and losing trust in our neighbours. A conflict arising out of an attempt at restorative nostalgia in a world of extreme ideology as a woman inherits her childhood home, seeking solace from a chaotic city life marked by addiction and debt. But a psychotic neighbour becomes disturbingly obsessed with her due to a haunting resemblance to the neighbour’s deceased mother. As the fixation turns violent, her friends begin disappearing, drawing her into a perverted, blood-soaked Christmas nightmare she may not survive.
