Slaughtered Vomit Dolls is a 2006 Canadian surrealist exploitation horror film written and directed by Lucifer Valentine, who coined the subgenre of extreme horror movies known as "vomit gore.”[1] The film had a simultaneous DVD and limited theatrical release on February 14, 2006. The film follows a very loose plot structure, consisting of assorted random scenes mostly revolving around Angela Aberdeen, a bulimic stripper-turned-prostitute.
Slaughtered Vomit Dolls is a part of the Vomit Gore Trilogy and was followed by two sequels: ReGOREgitated Sacrifice (2008) and Slow Torture Puke Chamber (2010). A fourth film – titled Vomit Gore 4: Black Mass of the Nazi Sex Wizard – was released in 2015. Most recently, in May 2020, the anthology film The Angela Chapters was released.
Plot
Angela Aberdeen, a runaway suffering from bulimia and involved in prostitution, descends through a series of surreal and unnerving fragments consisting of hallucinations, paraphilia, abuse, and encounters with violent adversaries, culminating in her suicide.
Reception
JoBlo.com panned Slaughtered Vomit Dolls overall, saying that, while they were curious to see what the director could do next, the film "ultimately fails to either entertain, shock, or put forth any novel ideas."[2] HorrorNews.net also gave a negative review, criticizing the film and stating, "If you need a movie to have some form of a linear story, don’t bother with this one. If you are tired of seeing women constantly berated and insulted and shown as weak and scared, don’t bother with this one. And if vomit isn’t your thing, yeah, definitely don’t bother with this one."[3] DVD Talk reviewed the trilogy as a whole and gave it a mostly positive review, saying that the films would not appeal to every viewer and "for horror fans who want something different, something that mixes up art and sex and violence and gore and surrealism and who don't mind the confrontational nature of Valentine's work, this set is worth seeking out."[4]
