Watch Dolls For Free

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Admirable film.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

I remember first seeing this movie as a little kid,and that the cover for it scared the crap out of me. The movie itself did as well, and was one of the contributing factors to my life long fear of dolls. I found it on DVD a few years back in a used movie store, bought it, and found I still enjoyed it. Along the years I lost it some how, and have been unable to find it again until I found and got a blu ray copy of it on Amazon Now onto the actual movie While I still greatly enjoy the movie, I notice now things about it that I didn't really notice when I was younger. First off, you'd think it was a low budget movie made by the likes of Full Moon Productions or Troma, not a big budget movie studio. Second, the acting is horrible. Again, something you'd expect from a low budget studio, not a big name one. Since this is an older movie, a lot of the scares seem cheesy and ineffective. For example in the opening scene where in a day dream, a little girls stuffed teddy bear rips apart her prickish parents. You can obviously tell that the bear is someone in a bad costume. But there are some fairly effects scenes, like one that's always stuck in my mind, like where one of the girls is turned into a living doll and plucks out her own eyeballs. This scene is also the cover for the old DVD version. The dolls themselves remind me of the ones in the "Puppet Master" series. Not that that's a bad thing, its just not that original of an idea. All in all, this is a good old fashioned horror flick that while it has its flaws, its still highly enjoyable.

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.

I've been watching 'Dolls' every few years since I first saw it near its original release in the eighties. It's fair to say that it's a classic (for what it is). That doesn't mean that everything about it is perfect, but it does do the job if you're looking for something short, sweet and pretty scary.As a guy, I've – obviously! – had very little interest in children's (or should I say girls'?) dolls. I always did find their blank, staring expressions, their perfectly-powered rosy cheeks and their overly-chiselled cheekbones a little unsettling. Perhaps that makes me the perfect demographic to get the most out of this film? Basically, during one of those types of storms you only really get in horror movies, various strangers all seek refuge in one of those creepy old mansions in the middle of nowhere (that also always seem to turn up in horror movies). There, they encounter more than they bargain for when they meet the occupants. And I'm not talking about the softly-spoken, perfectly polite old English couple who live there. It's their murderous 'creations' who cause the problems. And guess what they create? (Clue: there's a hint in the title) So, what you're left with is a quite a short film that charts the survival of the humans as they taken on a whole swarm of Barbie's evil cousins. If you like the sound of that, you'll probably enjoy it. As I mentioned, it's not perfect. Some of the actors' performances are pretty atrocious and others seem to try and over-act as if to compensate.But we don't really watch horror films for great acting performances, do we? It's the dolls who steal the show. And they do it well, even without any formal acting lessons behind them. The gore flows nicely, as you'd expect from an eighties B-movie and everything rolls along nicely.Special mention to the human 'villains,' who, despite creating hordes of evil, murderous dolls, seem to be strangely likable – a rarity in any film, let alone a horror film.http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/

A group of people stop by a mansion during a storm and discover two magical toy makers, and their haunted collection of dolls.While this is a Stuart Gordon film, and therefore one of Empire's better pictures, it has the classic signs of a Charlie Band film, too. Killer dolls? The same theme Band has returned to almost twenty times now. One would have to assume he must have had a hand in the story. And, to some degree, he did. Allegedly, Band created a poster of a killer doll and asked writer Ed Naha ("Troll") to turn that single image into a script. Band also wanted this film to be like "Trilogy of Terror", though this was not followed as strictly as it could have been.Gordon had a three-picture deal with Empire Pictures, and had "Dolls" hoisted on him to do on the same set he was already going to do "From Beyond". ("Dolls" ended up actually being made first, shot in 1985 but not released for two years.) So it seems that "Re-Animator" and "From Beyond" were more Gordon, with this one just being part of a contract.Gordon calls the story a "fairytale", something of a take on "Hansel and Gretel". Gordon had been reading child psychologist Bruno Bettelheim's "The Uses of Enchantment", whereas writer Ed Naha had not intended any such thing and was ignorant of fairy tales. Naha was actually inspired in part by "Curse of the Cat People", the sequel to Val Lewton's 1940s classic.The casting is solid. Stuart's wife Carolyn Purdy and actor Ian Patrick Williams came out of Gordon's Organic Theater in Chicago, so they had already worked together a few times. Guy Rolfe was the veteran actor, as well as a descendant of Pocahontas and had previously been a boxer and race car driver. His career went back decades, with such stand-outs as Carol Reed's "Odd Man Out" and William Castle's "Mr. Sardonicus". Unfortunately, he finished out his career with four "Puppet Master" films. Hilary Mason had a decent career, too, appearing in Nicolas Roeg's "Don't Look Now".Pay attention to the look and feel. Gordon had cinematographer Mac Ahlberg low camera angles to give a kid's point of view. (Ahlberg, incidentally, was hired on by Band, not Gordon.)Overall, this is a great film that has stood up pretty well. Watching it years apart and audiences will still remember it as clearly as the first time -- the girl, Ralph, Teddy, Punch... it is just one of those films that sticks in your mind and builds a nest. Exactly what the British punk rock girls were doing there is unclear, but maybe that made sense in the 1980s.Thanks to Scream Factory (possibly the best horror distributor out there), this film got the deluxe treatment. Two audio commentaries, some featurettes (including a mini-documentary). Just about everything you would want to know about this film can be revealed. Perhaps the best thing to come out of this film was Ed Naha teaming up again with Gordon and Brian Yuzna to write "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" (1989). Exactly how that came about is a whole other story, though.
