Luck suddenly seems to be on her side, though. She gets a mysterious package at her home, and a phone call for a job offer. She opens the package, and tkes out the key fob for a car her new employer sent, and drives out to the middle of nowhere. Seems she's been hired to look after some old guy's summer home while he's in UsefulNotes/{{Denmark}}, which involves keeping the place clean. The place is pretty fancy, and Cindy is convinced she's hit upon the best opportunity that could've come her way.

''Playing With Dolls'' (Alternate Title: ''Metalface'') is a [[HorrorFilms Horror Movie]] by Rene Perez.
Cindy Tremaine (Natasha Blasick) is a Ukrainian woman living in the UsefulNotes/UnitedStates who's fallen on hard times. She has no job, she can't pay her rent, and her roommate has just left with all of her belongings. Her old place of work won't even hire her back because of the baggage there.
Luck suddenly seems to be on her side, though. She gets a mysterious package at her home, and a phone call for a job offer. She opens the package, and tkes out the key fob for a car her new employer sent, and drives out to the middle of nowhere.

The place is pretty fancy, and Cindy is convinced she's hit upon the best opportunity that could've come her way.
What she doesn't realize, however, is that the real reason she got this job is because some psychopath (Richard Tyson) wants to film her being killed by a mask-wearing lunatic (John Glackin). Luckily, help arrives in the form of a police detective (David A. Lokchart).
The movie was released on March the 6th, 2015.
