‘Watchmen’ and ‘300’ director Zack Snyder returns with this 1950s-set musical fantasy thriller. Due to the machinations of her evil stepfather, Baby Doll (Emily Browning) finds herself trapped in a mental institution, awaiting a lobotomy. Desperate to be free, she escapes into an alternate reality of her own making; a world full of warriors, weapons and weird, wondrous creatures, and where it is her mission to steal five objects in five days while being pursued by an unknown foe. As other inmates from the institution begin to appear in her fantasies, the differences between Baby Doll’s two realities become less pronounced. Soon, she and her friends realise that what happens in this alternate world will influence events in the ‘real’ one. Vanessa Hudgens, Abbie Cornish, Jena Malone and Jamie Chung co-star.
