Los Angeles Times

The Devil's Dolls is a pastiche of derivative nonsense that only reminds you of the better films (The Shining, The Exorcist) that it seeks to copy.

Emilie Black

Cinema Crazed

The film on a whole is not bad but a bit formulaic, a slasher-ish piece with a spirit possessing people by way of horcrux-like pieces, making them go stabby.

Rated: 3/5

Vanguardia (Mexico)

While at times it could be taken too seriously, [Padraig Reynolds] understands two important points: human drama and bloody fun. [Full Review in Spanish]

Rated: 7.7/10

Film Journal International

A cursed batch of tiny dolls trigger murder and mayhem in in Padraig Reynolds' (Rites of Spring) one-gimmick shocker.

A unique mix of slasher and demon horror that isn't worth the backlash by audiences

it tried being a decent horror movie. It had a few moments of thrills that kept it entertaining but the actors fell short all around. Had it been a bit more on acting and a few more details thrown into the story, it would of turned out better.

Terrible acting and direction. Simpleminded, uninteresting and unengaging, predictable to the dot plot. You'll never get your time back. Trust me. The makeup wasn't bad, though...
