Bunny Allister emerged in the vibrant landscape of 1970s cult cinema, where her performances in Sinthia: The Devil's Doll and The Curious Female solidified her presence in the genre. In Sinthia: The Devil's Doll, she navigates the eerie world of supernatural dolls, while in The Curious Female, she explores themes of sexuality and identity. Both films reflect the experimental spirit of the era, and Allister's roles contribute to the ongoing dialogue about female representation in exploitation cinema.
Sinthia: The Devil's Doll
Cynthia Kyle enters puberty with a vengeance, murdering her parents as they make love: she's wanted her father to love only her. Eight years later, she's free and wants to marry, but nightmares plague her so she seeks psychiatric help. The doctor asks her to describe a dream: it's long and elaborate with dreams within dreams of Lucifer, Hell, and her parents in various guises. To shed her guilt, the shrink recommends that she commit suicide in her next dream. In it, she falls in love with an artist who reminds her of her father, responds to a woman who finds her attractive, and celebrates her first school-yard kiss. The dream takes her back to her parents' bedside. Is any cure possible?
