Marronnier (2004)

Marino is an average young Japanese girl. She likes hanging out with her friends and doting over her Marronnier doll. The doll, however, has been created by an evil genius that kidnaps women, uses a machine to turn them into wax and sculpts the wax into dolls in the deceased's likeness. But it doesn't end there. The mad doll-maker's assistant, Numai, is even freakier. He stalks Marino, kidnaps her (and her friends), fails to seduce her, gets rebuffed, laughs like a maniac, AND tries to melt them into wax!
But that's before his other doll 'creations' come to life for revenge!

Somewhat like a J-horror manga, this low budget flick offers quite a weird & interesting story, worth a watch for any ardent J-Horror fan.
