The few people that have seen Psycho Sex Dolls said they like it. Some said they would like to see a little more "Psycho stuff and more killings!" Do I wish I focussed more on that aspect?.....No!
I would have liked a few more "shots" with some killings, but outside of that, this film is about getting to know these characters, to feel something for these android dolls.
Simply because they are going to get extremely brutal and ruthless in the sequels. I wanted to show how they started, before they kick into these brutal and ambitious killing machines.
They're not "Terminators" with super powers, because I don't want to do what has been done better on bigger budgets. So I have to bring my fresh micro budget angle to the franchise.
I wanted androids that don't have any more strength than humans.
Mia gets exposed to all the same toxic influences from society that human's are seduced by, and she's getting smarter daily, and has no moral compass or soul. This also helps to fuel her ruthless ambition for power towards a precise goal.
If you are just making one movie, you can go from 1-100 at the start of the film, but this has always been planned as a bigger franchise story. I didn't want the audience to just see these killing machines from the start. Although, you do get to see who they are turning into in the first film.
I wanted to start off with a fun sexy exploitation flick, that will slowly evolve into a darker universe of sci-fi crime horror. Basically, a lot of sex and violence but also a smart story!
"The Dolls" is where it really kicks into another level. I wanted an audience just to hang out with these androids that don't seem that dangerous, and who seem to comply with their owners orders. Until they start to learn from toxic humans.
Like I said before, I also want to produce some "Promo Shorts" of these other dolls that break free from their owners. Which is triggered by "Mia". Some of these shorts will also make it into the second movie "The Dolls", as they head for Mia to join her gang.
These shorts help to promote the features but they also give a little back story of where they came from. I will also show what human traits they have adopted from their previous owners that they killed.
If you want to get on board this franchise, check out the "Late Pledges" on kickstarter. I want to try and raise the final funding so I can do some of these shorts too. They will help to promote Psycho Sex Dolls and "The Dolls"
