Creepy dolls are always a plus in a horror movie.

Murder victims are piling up in London.  All of them are found in grisly positions accompanied by a doll resembling the deceased.  Scotland Yard is on the case.  It develops that all were members of a Commission that falsely convicted an accused Nazi war criminal.

I found this thing rather dull.  It has a boffo ending but one that doesn’t come as a surprise.
