Living Doll
Synopsis
Howard, a shy morgue worker, falls in love with a girl who ends up in the morgue, but he doesn't let that stop him. Howard has a secret - he is in love with Christine.

Living Doll was a direct-to-video production funded by the notorious Dick Randall (the UK's supposed answer to Roger Corman, with the likes of Pieces, Don't Open til Christmas and Slaughter High under his belt).

There was probably a Frank Henenlotter-style horror comedy locked somewhere inside 's LIVING DOLL. The problem is, the material gets too grim for it to ever really emerge. The film tells the tale of an intern at a city morgue who steals the body of the dead woman he loves -- but is under the delusion that she is still alive, when she's actually rotting away. It all starts to feel like a sleazier, more unpleasant version of Tom Petty's "Last Dance With Mary Jane" video. Only this one has Eartha Kitt as the creepy coroner's landlady.
