Ultimately, Blackhurst’s new film is an unmissable horror gem that heralds the arrival of both a fresh new horror voice and an electrifying new villain for the ages. Read full review

The New York TimesErik PiepenburgMar 5, 2026
As an exploitation pastiche, Rod Blackhurst’s new sicko fairy tale is a knockout. Made entirely on Super 16-millimeter film, it oozes grindhouse sleaze that almost reeks through the screen. Ashley K.

Screen RantGrant HermannsMar 5, 2026
For all of its missteps, calling Dolly an outright bad movie still doesn't quite prove an accurate descriptor for Blackhurst's slasher thriller.
