Film Overview 🎬

Maria Leonora Teresa explores the creepy concept of evil dolls, multiplying it by three. The film begins with a bright opening but quickly turns dark as we meet the main characters: Faith, Stanley, Julio, and their daughters.

Key Events in the Film 🔑

Key plot points include:

• Faith encounters a spirit in the bathroom.
• The children’s field trip ends tragically with a bus accident.
• Julio receives a creepy doll that represents his deceased daughter.
• Stella's family dynamics are revealed, including her husband's infidelity.
• The dolls begin to exhibit sinister behavior, leading to various jump scares.

Final Confrontation ⚔️

The climax involves a showdown with the dolls and the antagonist, Dr. Manolo Abas, who seeks revenge for his son's death. The film ends with a twist, leaving viewers questioning the fate of the characters.

Overall Impression ⭐

Despite the interesting premise of three evil dolls, the film fails to deliver effective scares, relying heavily on clichés and jump scares. I rate Maria Leonora Teresa with a Scare Score of 25%.

The scariest scene is the principal's death, which is the most intense moment in the film.

Thank you for tuning in! I look forward to seeing you back here in the Horror Mine! 👻
