Get ready for a new dose of terror! Director Rod Blackhurst is set to unleash his latest slasher horror, 'Dolly,' in UK cinemas on March 6, 2026. This highly anticipated film, which has already premiered at Fantastic Fest on September 21, 2025, is generating significant buzz, with some drawing comparisons to recent killer doll hits like 'M3GAN' due to its central doll-masked antagonist.

'Dolly' stars Fabianne Therese as Macy, a young woman whose hiking trip takes a nightmarish turn after she is abducted by a monstrous, doll-masked figure known as Dolly, portrayed by professional wrestler Max the Impaler. The terrifying captor intends to raise Macy as its own child. Seann William Scott plays Chase, Macy's boyfriend, while Ethan Suplee also features in the cast as Tobe.

Based on Blackhurst's 2022 short film, 'Babygirl,' 'Dolly' has been described as a grim, 70s-inspired horror that leans into visceral gore and a grindhouse aesthetic, reminiscent of classics like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Distributed by Vertigo Releasing in the UK, and Independent Film Company and Shudder in the US, the movie carries an R rating for strong violence, gore, grisly images, adult language, and some nudity, promising a truly intense cinematic experience.
