Moviegoers are saying
This grindhouse-inspired slasher divides audiences with its deliberately grimy 16mm aesthetic and brutal practical effects, creating a visceral experience that's equal parts repulsive and captivating. While viewers praise Fabianne Therese's committed performance and the film's authentic 70s horror atmosphere, many struggle with inexplicably stupid character decisions and the movie's unrelentingly mean-spirited tone.

As far as music biopics go, Dolly is perhaps the most visceral I've ever seen. I had no idea Dolly Parton's upbringing was so brutal.

cobMar 3, 2026gnarly, gruesome and just straight up nasty (positive) impressive practical effects & gore. such a gorgeous grimy looking film shot on 16mm. has that 70s grainy look which made the watching experience feel immersive and the film itself felt lived in. the story is basic in…

NURULLAHApr 2, 2026so basically the plot is the same as barbarian 😭 haha
elio 🎧Apr 2, 2026“It’s a movie”. This is what I have to repeatedly tell myself sometimes when characters do things so inexplicably stupid that even my limited brain can’t wrap itself around them. It happens in Dolly right away. It’s all very Grindhouse. You know… gritty and brutal but you…

I know people are going to be harsh on this movie, but not me. I had the time of my life. I can clearly see the grindhouse vibe this film is going for, and I think it succeeds. I loved the diva Dolly! She mothered. The final girl was annoying at times, but I liked her…
hugeasmammothMar 6, 2026I might need to stop watching previews, I swear. Seeing more than a few fellow horror nerds really enjoy Rod Blackhurst’s 16mm filmed, greasy backwoods slasher throwback Dolly, again let my expectations build to a preconceived level in my head that just didn’t quite sync up…

- Max Tarrant likedDolly
Pretty decent. Has a good cat and mouse aspect to it and the chapters within the film slowly make the film darker and more disturbing. The film is raw, dirty and an eerie watch. Very gory and stylistic. My only problem is that some characters make poor choices and
Bung Finger dislikedDollygenuinely one of the worst movies ive ever seen
Dark Sun likedDollyStarts off slow, but after about 20 minutes has constant tension throughout. This reminds me of if Rob Zombie made a movie I actually liked. Very heartbreaking and has very good acting. There’s a scene in this movie that actually hit very hard for me and it was pretty rough.
- Hardy Reviews is "meh" onDolly
Dolly is an intense film with little substance. It’s got an interesting premise with little plot; it’s very much a Texas chainsaw massacre where it’s just mayhem. This film had some great moments but definitely has seen better films come from Shudder.
ChungiBoi likedDollyAlthough the first act is a little slow and some really dumb decisions are made in the third act, I still think this is one of the better backwoods horror films I’ve seen. The most wince inducing movie I’ve seen in theaters since Terrifier 3
Damien is "meh" onDollyNothing special. Few good scenes. I did like the old school vibe. She had like 5 chances or more to “win.” She was very stupid. For an hour and 20 minute runtime it still dragged. Would be fun to mystery science theatre it with friends.
- Devin Peters likedDolly
Very reminiscent of Texas chainsaw and Friday the 13th, really enjoyed the Dolly character but was a little slowly paced , wish maybe there were more characters for dolly to have interacted with but overall a fun watch.
Buttercup likedDollySaw this early last October at Telluride Horror Fest! This is one of those films that is campy in the best way. It's a great group watch. However, it can have intense moments of gore and disturbing moments.
Jen dislikedDollyI did not enjoy this movie. It is gross. It is violent and it dragged. I enjoy horror movies but this one was just not for me. I had a hard time, even wanting to watch the screen at times.

Dolly is a miss of considerable proportions.

For all of its missteps, calling Dolly an outright bad movie still doesn't quite prove an accurate descriptor for Blackhurst's slasher thriller. It's got a solid cast of performers, occasionally stylish direction, and some shocking brutality, but can never quite find the right rhythm to bring it all together.

One senses that Rod Blackhurst knows that Dolly is undernourished, but his attempts to jazz it up by splitting it into transparently titled chapters only calls further attention to that dearth of imagination.
