A precocious girl, her nasty parents, two punk-rock losers and a weak-kneed salesman inadvertently become the guests of two ghoulish senior citizens in their dark, haunted mansion. The old couple makes and collects dolls that, when not sitting still like good little mannequins, creep around in the night, offing the guests one by one.

Felt a bit like a long Tales from the Crypt episode. Alright though.

Another great find from TCM. _Dolls_ is a compact and straightforward 80s horror about a group of people staying a night in the house full of killer dolls. It caught me of guard because it's R-rated but it's actually a very goofy and wholesome family film with some murder and gore. The story is simple but effective. It captures the genuinity of the leads little friendship and with the dolls. The supporting cast also manages to stand out and let their personality shines. The stuff they do with the dolls is very impressive. The design and practical work are amazing. It has a right amount of campy humor and violence. I appreciate how they keep the killer dolls hidden and really take their time before revealing them in all their glory.

Slow but well acted. Stephen Lee does a great job as Ralph Morris, but overall, the film fell flat. Not too scary and not much actually happens. Just kind of dull.

So sad that Stuart Gordon passed away this year right? He knows how to make killer movies! Dolls is about well, I think you can guess what. Anyway, this one starts out like "The Old Dark House" later morphs into a film were adults who aren't child by heart/soul are attacked by dolls and even turned into them. It's cheesy, but it works. The eyes of the dolls are terrifying though! And the scene in the background during the end credits? Freaking awesome! Dolls is a neat 77 minutes long with Stuart Gordon's wife (Carolyn Purdy Gordon) playing the most witty step-mother ever! And that scene with the giant teddy bear? GOLD! If you have the time, be sure to check this one out!

This was a really effective chiller. Nicely intermingles the right amounts of both comedy and magic to create an eerie and surreal atmosphere all of its own, quite the same way as the first 'Phantasm' film does, if that makes any sense. Great ending, too.

Atmospheric lil horror film that maintains its menace despite some comedy acting. Typical of Stuart Gordon in that sense I guess. This tells of the importance of childhood wonder, like many other films, but does it via a cautionary-like tale filled with some primitive justice. The dolls look reall More
