FILM 2360: WELCOME TO MARWEN (2018)

TRIVIA: Dramatization of the 2010 documentary film Village of the Dolls (2010).

The dolls were portrayed via motion capture by their respective actors and actresses.

When Mark lifts up the Time Machine and turns it on, you can hear the sound of the flux capacitor from the DeLorean of the "Back to the Future" trilogy.

In the hobby store, when Mark checks out the miniature medals, the Purple Heart he buys has a reference label next to it reading CRM-114. CRM-114 is a piece of radio equipment in Stanley Kubrick's "Doctor Strangelove". The code has then been used by Kubrick in latter films and by other filmmakers as a tribute to him.

With a budget of $40 million, it debuted with $2.4 million in its opening weekend, making it one of the biggest box office failures of 2018.

ONE SENTENCE REVIEW: I wouldn’t say this film was as terrible as I was led to believe but the documentary is a million times better so I would recommend you watch that instead.
