      christopher c. m I thought it was a remake of the classic Full Moon movie "Dolls", it's not. The dolls are possessed by demons as his mom was a psychologist that treated a killer who claimed he was possessed by several demons and the treatment removed the demons from the killer into the dolls. Because exorcism is now part of getting you're PH.D. in psychology now. These evil dolls BARELY move and when they do move it looks like the same amazing puppet work that "Brotherhood of Satan" used, the same complex technique of shaking the doll with an extreme close up. I like the father and daughter, which is all ruined by a dumb climax to a dumb movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member "Dolls" is reminiscent of 80's prop horror films like "Puppet Master" and 1987's "Dolls", keeping with a slow paced scary story format. In this film, the story does move a bit too slow in the beginning. Too much time is spent teasing the horror to come, and clumsily creating character development. It gets a little tedious but Thomas Downey's portrayal of Robert does help break up the monotony with comic relief , and a general relatability- complete with "Dad jokes". The acting is decent, at times there is clear indication that the script never quite matured. Still, the cast did an excellent job bringing these characters to life. I do feel a need to complain there wasn't enough Dee Wallace. With a stronger script maybe it wouldn't have been so noticable, but given the over-exaggerated drama that eats up the first hour, and weak jump scares, I found myself wishing Wallace's onscreen presence was stronger. The horror elements are not as strong as I was hoping for going into "Dolls". Expected jump scares are weak, mostly just soneone being creeped out by a doll. A couple of the kill sequences fall a bit short, but were still a welcomed sight. Carvin is clever in his choices as far as how to shoot the horror elements, very much the way Full Moon shoots their stuff these days. The last act is the real ticket. The sinister, and tragic way the story ends, and those last few deaths are what I was hoping for the first two acts. Overall "Dolls" will disappoint as much as it will entertain. This isn't a high intensity thriller, and there are holes in the story. Still it is worth checking out at least once, just don't expect to be scared. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member It was a good movie! Definitely not as scary as I was hoping it would be but it definitely kept me interested and confused which kept my attention! I’d recommend it but it wasn’t as amazing as hereditary!
