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.

3/5

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.

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

An often excessively tedious horror effort...

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

Well directed, but just kinda dumb.

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...

Epic stupidity. Had I not been bored out of my mind I never would've sat through this idiotic horror. I found myself laughing more than I normally would watching a comedy. It's just that bad.

The premise of this movie and the first 50 minutes are great. Unfortunately it beings to fall apart when the old lady starts explaining the worry dolls. Each time she gives any exposition, she contradicts the powers and abilities of the dolls. And frankly, it runs a lot of an otherwise great movie.
