10 songs in the Soundtrack. The title I recognized didn't not stand out to me when supposedly played.
Well, I can now say I've seen a Russ Meyer film. I wish not.
This doesn't turn into horror flick until the last 10 minutes or so, but the body count is 5, including the murderer (conveniently shot by his own gun in an overly long struggle with a heavyweight boxer.) It does begin with a scene from the murder spree, but that does not make clear it will end in murder.
Lots of nudity, although mostly fleeting, and scantily-clad large-breasted women. Yet this is dull, not sensational.
The name of the film comes from the Fox contract with Jacqueline Suzanne, whose sequel screenplay apparently didn't like, so they commissioned Roger Ebert (his only film writing credit under his own name; he has 2 others under pseudonyms, also with R.Meyer), and filmed this mess. But it begins with a title card stating this is not a sequel to the original. This is not a "doll" oriented film, "dolls" being capsules of drugs, although drugs are smoked and dissolved into drinks.
I'd say 3 faces were familiar, mostly from TV in that era.
Avoid.
Fox, dir. Meyer; 4
