Toying with serial murder in “JEFFREY DOLLMER”; trailer, poster & release info

This possessed plaything carries on a notorious legacy of murder.

Uncork’d Entertainment will release JEFFREY DOLLMER on VOD and digital platforms November 3. Directed by Mark Savage, the Australian filmmaker behind such cult shockers as MARAUDERS and PURGATORY ROAD, from a script by John Doolan (POPEYE THE SLAYER MAN) and producer Jeff Miller (CLOWNTOWN), it stars Charlie Trepany, Chey Crieger, Juliana Destefano, Adam Huss, Eva Hamilton, Tom Parnell and Brian Joseph Mange as Jeffrey Dahmer, with a cameo by FINAL DESTINATION creator Jeffrey Reddick. The synopsis: “Dahmer finds a doll in 1991 and performs a ritual in an attempt to transfer his spirit into it, but is captured before he can finish his evil plans. For decades, the doll remains locked away in police evidence—until it is finally discarded and finds its way back into the world. In the present day, the doll’s spirit is accidentally summoned and quickly latches onto a young model who bears a resemblance to its former owner. When the model travels to a remote photo shoot, the possessed doll follows, turning the isolated set into a killing ground as it begins stalking fellow competitors and co-workers.”
