Plot: Though we didn't see it acknowledged in the opening credits, Baby Doll Murders is a reworking of the 1964 Victor Buono vehicle The Strangler. There's a killer on the loose, preying upon beautiful young women. At the scene of each crime, the police find a damaged baby doll. Detective Jeff Kober detects a subtle pattern emerging. Alas, it leads to the inescapable conclusion that the next victim will be the wife of Kober's partner. Expectedly exploitational, Baby Doll Murders is not bad of its kind. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Oh Dear-What A Waste Of Talent!
Added 4/6/2007

Why, in heavens name, would a cast with as much talent as this one had,produce a film so? Dull is not the proper adjective to describe this,neither is cheesy,perhaps morose and vapid are the correct terminology? Yes,those fit the plot and dialogue of this sad little film to suit. The direction was just as mundane,slow paced to a snail's crawl. The sound quality was erratic and the edit,well,we just won't go there for the sake of propriety.
Now we get to the really oblique part of this film and that is the acting-atrocious! Jeff Kober was bland and blah in the lead role of Detective Louis Benz. For an actor,as talented as Kober,this is not a film to list on your credits. Kober emoted his lines like he was reading them off a milk carton. Just because the script is less than perfect,is no reason for an actor not to at least try to may them work ,in some fashion. Shame on you Mr.Kober,you could have stayed at home and phoned this one in! The rest of the cast are just a blur. Hardly worth a mention,with the exception of Melanie Smith, as Kober's girlfriend,Peggy. she was the only bright spot in this hazy mess. Don't waste your time on this one! It only gets worse from the opening credits on.........
