Scissors (1991)

Ladies living in a big city can make a living by repairing dolls . . .

[7/10 · 14 May 2021]

. . . SCISSORS documents. Large urban areas tend to be chock full of tattered Chatty Cathy's, Raggedy Ann's, Barbie's and even stuffed animals. In Detroit, for instance, some artist named Tyree nailed more than million dolls in need of repair or a new home to the sides of houses, trees and telephone poles. SCISSORS opens with "Angie" living in a place similar to the Motor City, where dames locked up in apartments may languish for weeks before anyone notices that they are missing (especially if they're living a man-less existence because the doll refurbishing industry provides all the financial support they need to eke out a living). Of course, untouched Angie is nothing to write home about, as the scene featuring her bare drink dispensers proves. If all the men who had run across Angie in the city were polled, the vast majority probably would vote to keep her locked up in the escape room forever.
