A doll-horror movie from the horror comics master Junji Ito (TOMIE and UZUMAKI)

Synopsis

If you think you've seen it all ... THINK AGAIN

From the horror comics master JUNJI ITO (UZUMAKI, TOMIE) and Writer/Director HIDEYUKI KOBAYASHI comes a new kind of horror. Marino loves her Marronnier doll that was unfortunately made by a demented genius who uses a diabolical machine to turn human beings into wax dolls.

Marronnier's assistant, Numai, is even more insane and takes a fancy to Marino. He begins to stalk her, and when that isn't enough, he takes Marion and her friends prisoner, plunging them into a dreamworld of living dolls and satin wedding gowns, hacked body parts and bondage!

In his underground lair, Numai's girl-dolls come to life and start killing everyone. It's a nightmare!

MARRONNIER is definetely not for the faint of heart.

"The bizarre imagery and staged set pieces with the puppets are striking, and the twisted plot has a strange, if sinister charm." --Hollywood Reporter
