Watch Demonic Toys: Personal Demons For Free

Great Film overall

Absolutely Fantastic

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Since I first watched demonic toys, I've really wanted to see a sequel for a very long time, that freaking killer jack in the box is just too damn awesome to not get a reappearance. Honestly it's about time, even though the plot needed some work and yeah they could've had more killer toys. But hey, it's a low-budget film, so you really shouldn't expect that much if you want to enjoy it. It's stupid, the acting is mediocre, and not scary, but hey it's pretty damn cool to just sit down and watch a killer baby doll slash someone's head off. Would recommend if you have one of those days where you can't decide what to watch.

A motley assortment of folks gather together to inspect an ancient evil puppet at a rundown castle. Naturally, said puppet and two other equally wicked toys come to murderous life. Writer/director William Butler relates the fun story at a swift pace, makes the most out of the sprawling old castle location, and delivers a generous sprinkling of graphic gore. The freaky dolls are genuinely grotesque and amusing, with the foul-mouthed Baby Whoopsie (voiced with cheerfully profane aplomb by Jane Wiedlan of the Go-Gos fame!) a total nasty and vulgar hoot throughout. A spooky séance set piece provides a definite highlight while the special effects are funky and colorful. The cast have a ball with the blithely trashy material: the fetching Alli Kinzel gives a charming and spirited turn the sweet and chipper Caitlin, Michael Citriniti slimes it up nicely as sleazy creep Dr. Lorca, the gorgeous Elizabeth Bell bitches it up delightfully as the sexy, but snippy Lauraline, and Leslie Jordan is a whiny riot as the effeminate Professor Butterfield. Terrance Reicher's slick cinematography gives the picture a pleasing glossy look. The shivery score by Richard Band and Kenny Meriedeth hits the spine-tingling spot. An enjoyable little item.

Having seen movies like the "Puppet Master" series and "Doll Graveyard", I had little expectations to this movie, but I must say that I was disappointed."Demonic Toys 2" does not really manage to get up to the level of the previous work that Charles Band have made. There is just something about this movie that makes it impossible to really get into the groove of the movie.Perhaps it is the thin storyline or the effects. Or it could be the lack of new thinking to this movie.Now, the good parts of "Demonic Toys 2" were the characters in the movie. There was a variety of interesting characters, that sadly were not given enough time (or chance) to fully shine through on the screen. The actors and actresses portraying them did a fairly good job.The dolls were cool to look at, if you can overcome the fake way of their movements and the way they kill people. There is something very grimy and gritty to the dolls, and it works well. It gives them a dark and sinister appearance. Well, I have always liked the dolls in Band's movies.The effects were below average, and most often hilarious to look at.If Band went for the early 90's feel to this movie intentionally, then hats off to him, then he really managed to pull it off. This whole movie reeks of early 90's horror movies. From the way it was shot, to the storyline (or lack thereof), to the dialogue and to the location in which it was shot (you just got to love the purple sky).The movie just didn't really appeal that much to me. There was something important lacking from it, and I think this movie might actually have been scary (or somewhat scary) had it been released in the late 80's or early 90's.If you are a fan of the "Puppet Master" series and such similar movies, you should sit down to watch this one, but do not go into this experience with high expectations

I'm a big Full Moon fan! I loved just about everything Band put out in the 90's ..especially Demonic Toys. Don't get me wrong I hold a very special place in my heart for the Puppet Master series, but I've always felt that Demonic Toys just had that edgy, risky, guilty pleasure feel to it. This particular installment to the series, which I could not wait to see, simply enough falls short of its predecessor in a number of ways...I mean I could pick at a movie's flaws all day, but being a hard core fan of the original I'll try to be brief...There are some people out there that say the story line was a little weak, but I'm not going to judge a low budget horror film sequel too hard...I mean it's called "Demonic Toys 2" ..I can only hope that you rent this movie knowing that it's not going to be up for any awards. A bigger problem I had with the movie was that it didn't really try to be unique away from the original...they only play the theme song from the original about every second of the movie and it just gets ruined and annoying. The acting in the movie is OK...the characters themselves leave a little more to be desired. There is a lot of computer generated blood which really detracts from the movie.....the first movie had blood, guts, and eye balls out the yin yang....just get some corn syrup and goop it up 90's style. My biggest complaint about this movie is the puppets. The baby doll and jack attack are all well and good, but what about Mr. Static and Grizzly??? Fans would have gone even more crazy about this movie if they were included. No...instead we're given some new old toy called Divoletto...and in my opinion he really does nothing in this movie. I did find it to be entertaining, but that might be me being bias because I love the demonic toys. This could have been a great addition to the franchise, but it just tried to sell off of the success and popularity of the original. What a shame...all it needed was a few more puppets ...a couple gallons of blood ...and a little more care.
