A remake and a retelling of the story but it actually has a good plot and a longer length. Instead of it being sad, it would be a badass revenge movie but with more of a dark side. The movie would be bold and specific plot wise. Taking place in the mid to late 60s, the story revolves around Babydoll, who is a girl suffering with PTSD from her stepfathers sexual abuse towards her and her sister. After he kills her sister and her mother, he frames it on her having her sent to a crooked asylum that is run by evil men. The asylum manager; Blue, is a woman hater who lets the patients be abused and has them all be lobotomized by forging signatures so they can’t speak up. Babydoll sees it happening there and plans an escape with the other 4 girls. She imagines it as a brothel because she sees it like that with all of the sexual abuse going on. She imagines Dr. Vera Gorski as her choreographer. The lobotomy doctor has the same plot point as the 2011 movie but he’s actually a good guy. Babydoll teams up with the girls and Dr. Vera joins them along the way to help them escape and have the asylum exposed. Babydoll also plans to get revenge on her stepfather.
