Pretty Good

Memorable, crazy movie

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

A Masterpiece!

Trapped together following a massive rainstorm, several groups of tourists in a roadside house find the owner's collection of hand-crafted dolls are alive and coming after them for their behavior towards them and must try to get away alive.This here was quite the fun and enjoyable killer doll effort. One of the film's best points here is in how this one manages to readily showcase the child-like innocence and charm associated with toys and dolls, not only how they can add to their development but also to their power as an adult in recapturing their inner youth, and that adds a lot here by allowing several threads to emerge from within. Being around the dolls as much as they are give this a great feel for them and their unnerving appearance is good enough to have some really creepy moments here from watching the thief in the doll-room and inside the girls' room that when it comes time for the other great part to come from this the film really scores nicely. That other big factor here comes from the second half as the dolls spring into action and begin stalking the group in the house which leads to some really great stalking. The first attack in the doll-room is really fun as the hidden nature of the attackers is really fun, while the two big attacks here are fun, lengthy sequences that get a lot of action here starting with the attack on the step-mother as the dolls swarm over her from all over the room and leads into their rather brutal series of bodily hacking and being trapped as the dolls close in on her to deliver the big death blow. As well, the other attack on the friend is really fun as the dolls begin knocking things over to get her attention then swarm all over her before driving her out and attacking her there in a fun, frantic sequence. While the finale brawl in the doll-room doesn't have that kind of action, there's a lot to like here of the brutal brawling and the frenzied attacks makes for a fine, satisfying conclusion. Along with the incredibly strong special effects work on the dolls as they're incredibly realistic and like-like, generating a lot of fun here in their scenes, these here are the film's good points against the few flaws. The biggest issue here is the film's length, which barely runs eighty minutes here, and with a pretty large portion of the time on demeaning and ridiculing her desires, which causes this to come as a way too clichéd manner to eat up time without really doing much else during that time. The only other main thing about the film is that it takes far too long in setting everything up that it then has to rush everything to get it completed. That does make the beginning a little hard to get through, as everything quickly happens then it slowly and surely takes it's time before speeding up again at the end. It's a distraction from the other parts of the film. Otherwise, this here was a lot of fun.Rated R: Graphic Language, Graphic Violence and children in jeopardy.

Man, this is one cool movie!The little girl (Carrie Lorraine) is really good. The goofy-ish guy (Stephen Lee) is good, and actually quite funny. Some of his reactions made me laugh. (I'm a tough crowd) Bummed me out to see that he died last year. Sad. The gray haired couple are really good. The effects are pretty decent for the most part. The pacing is great. It's one of those movies who doesn't show it's entire bag of tricks at once, but spreads it out through the movie. It is actually a little scary too, specially in a couple scenes. Simply put: it is a well made, entertaining horror movie. It is not boring for a second, and you keep wanting to see what happens next. Also it has some heart, despite being an 80's horror movie. Very nice. Classic, I'd say.

Yep found another doll film but this time from Bands Empire film company and not directed by the man himself. Surprisingly this doll flick is different from all the rest with its plot, this time its very much like a fairytale or even a Stephen King story. An old couple that make dolls in a big mansion in the middle of nowhere take in lost or stranded folk and shrink them down turning them into dolls depending on the persons character, if they're good or bad.So a slightly different spin with this film which is nice and gives it a fresher feel. The dolls are not weird looking killers either they are just normal looking old fashioned toy dolls from various periods, almost 'Pinocchio-like' in design style and feel.Cast is good in this too with the old couple being especially well performed, no one really well known but they all play their parts well enough to make the film seem much better than you'd expect. In fact the whole film looks good with decent well lit sets, dark hallways, plenty of shadows and the classic thunder and lightning gimmick, all giving the right spooky atmospheric glow.Not really scary, the film has more of a 'Scooby Doo' creepy feel to it. Just right as its obviously hard to make killer dolls like this come across as genuinely scary.7/10

I normal hate it when the a movie as dream scene near the start of the movie, for this I found the dream scene really fun and a little cute.Judy step mum- is one hell of Evil Nasty b***h, God what the hell is wrong with her and her Dad as to one most nasty and silly parents in the world. (She better off without them)I just could not wait for the dolls to kill them, they got what they deserved.some of the dolls were really creepy and all the razor sharp teeth makes look even more scary and there was some bloody moment in this movie, I would not say gory.I love effects near the end of the movie, the scene. what happens to the father was really good, the good old cheesy 80's effect are great fun to watch.The acting was really good from everyone in the movie 8 out of 10 Great fun movie.
