Doll in the Dark

Melanie Crow is a reclusive young girl who copes with the recent suicide of her mother by constructing a life-size muslin doll to keep her company. At first, the doll called Mor appears to be a harmless novelty - an imaginary friend. But as Melanie’s grasp on reality slips away, she begins to project her mother’s voice onto the strange masked being and the delusional relationship turns into a disturbing codependence between her split-personas. When she meets an alluring Goth named Dukken (Robin Lord Taylor) at the local library, her interactions with Mor become even more erratic. As Melanie’s feelings for the handsome Dukken begin to emerge, Mor becomes jealous and suspicious and the relationship between the doll and Melanie starts down a disturbing and violent path.
