The laughs are more prevalent than the chills, but a few death scenes are quite appealing in their ambition and design. Go to Full Review

Ian S 12h Trash with a capital T. See more @JoEyO89 Dec 14 Could only imagine this film with a higher budget. With its dark tone, maleficent story, and creepy vibe, I can understand why people refer to this as a child’s play based horror movie. Absolutely a classic in my mind and would recommend it to anyone who enjoyed child’s play one or two. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Sep 23 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas de terror são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Byron H @HalloweenII 10/29/2024 2/4 Hilarity on all levels! It's so bad, it's good... Almost! Worth a view during Halloween 🎃 season. See more Montgomery M 09/12/2023 I love horror movies about dolls. This one was fairly standard. It didn't really do anything that unique or interesting. But it was entertaining and the dolls were kind of funny and cool. See more 01/22/2021 Riding on the coattails of Chucky, this is better than it has any right to be. With a decent amount of tension, some likeable characters and a deliciously strange appearance by Rip Torn, it's a fun little schlocky horror flick. I'm shocked it didn't get an sequels.
