Marronnier (2004)

[Wishmaster]

Well this is an odd one. The language is not English (I suppose Thai or Chinese). And don't ask me to explain the movie, I have no fcking idea!

On to the show, this will be a hit for people that enjoy ball jointed dolls, as the movie centers around them. From what I gathered, a guy captures girls and takes them back to his lair where he submerges them in a tube that transforms them into wax. From there, he takes them out and "frees their joints", resulting in ball jointed dolls.

I really have no idea what is going on, but there is plenty of mannequin posing, doll posing, and possibly even doll transformation (I had hell following which girl was which, but in the end I think they all end up dolls).

For this to work, you need to download the 7 part rar archive.

This will give you the movie, plus foreign language subs (worthless to me).

You also need to download the english subs:

or
http://www.subs.to/download/subtitles/8 ... %282004%29

Extract the movie, and you will have an .avi and .srt files. You will need to delete the .srt file, and replace it with the english subtitles linked above. Make sure to rename the file so that it has the same name as the movie, but instead of .avi, it has .srt, so you should have blah.avi and blah.srt (you can actually name them both "blah" if you want). Doing so most movie players will detect and load the subtitles from the srt.

Good luck, and good luck following the movie, it may be a bigger hit with the stuckposing crowd than here, but I'm too lazy to cross post things.

I bought this little known movie on DVD when it first came out and it was absolutely horrible. But at least you guys won't have to pay for it!

It is brutal.

If anyone wants to browse the site I found it on:

http://asianspace.blogspot.com

It seems to be a blog dedicated to Asian movies, with the added zest of Portuguese subtitles. I'm working through the "horror" tagged posts slowly, but haven't found anything else.

I never was able to download those Megauploads. I can download it but nothing shows up. its like my computer is not compatible with the type program



HELP!

[andoroido]

Same problem here, Dled a couple fo the files but they don't show up where I saved them or anywhere.

Might have fixed the problem for me, I think I had the "close this window when file saving is finished" box accidentally checked, and maybe this made Windows want to open the rar file immedaitely, anti-spyware popped in for permission and I said NO (reflex) and the file went byebye.

[andoroido]

Wow, that was... interesting.

Thanks for the info for completeness, but yeah, weird.

The movie is Japansese, and I'm pretty sure I've seen it in the video store here, but I just skipped over it. Now I'm glad I did .
Creepy dolls not my thing. Badly shot, crap focus, blurry, a couple scenes of waxed girls but..yuck, and then all the gore.
