Tod im Spielzeugland

Dollman vs. Demonic Toys (1993) was a sequel for Full Moon's two minor video hits DOLLMAN and THE DEMONIC TOYS. Tracy Scoggins (Demonic Toys) and Tim Thomerson (Dollman) reprise there starring roles in this weird, short and economic sequel. Those evil and wacky dolls from DEMONIC TOYS are giving more headaches and causing grief for Ms. Scoggins. She can''t defeat these twisted toys by herself. Help comes in the form of that diminutive alien Dollman. Dollman armed with his high tech pistol evens the odds against those annoying toys. Can they defeat the toys once and for all? Will Dollman ever get back home? Do they have enough real footage to make this movie enjoyable? You'll have to find out if you really want to track down a copy of DOLLMAN VS. THE DEMONIC TOYS.

For die hard fans only.

I love the films of Full Moon Entertainment, the best still being The Pit and The Pendulum and the worst being Invisible: The Chronicles of Benjamin Knight. Dollman VS. Demonic Toys falls somewhere inbetween, leaning towards bad. This movie is absolutely ridiculous, a sequel to three of their films (those being Dollman, Demonic Toys and Bad Channels).

But this movie, with all the B-grade charms, still entertained me. I have no clue why, but it just did. The baby doll, looking hopeless compared to Chucky in the animatronic effects department, is riotously funny. The problem with this movie is simply this, it's just not long enough. I have no idea why the film runs 84 minutes in the USA, but here in Australia, it runs a mere 58 minutes. 58 minutes! Good for a cheap laugh or two, and special effects aren't that bad.

AUSTRALIAN CLASSIFICATION:

MA15+ Medium Level Course Language and Violence

!! Who handed out this rating?

A couple of laughs, mainly due to the evil baby doll and his vulgar one-liners and even Dollman himself (Thomerson) gets in on the laughs. It's Halloween night and the Dolls are trying to use the 1 ft. tall Ginger as a host for Satan to be reborn through. It's up to Brick Bardo, aka Dollman, to save her and kill the Demonic Toys.

A horrible mess of a script, crappy acting (excluding the always great Thomerson) and garbage miniature effects.

And at just over an hour in length where the best scene has an evil foul-mouthed Baby Doll tries to have sex with the foot tall Ginger while he makes Dollman watch, it just really makes you wonder what the point to this whole mess of nonsesne even was.

Brick Bardo (Tim Thomerson)teams up with Judith Grey (Tracy Scoggins, from Demonic Toys) to destroy the demonic toys who are trying to bring Satan back to life (Or such nonsense) also on-board is Ginger (Refered to as Dollchick played by Melissa Behr reprising her role from Bad Channels) now Brick Bardo must save his girl and destroy the toys and must not fail. Dollman Vs Demonic Toys is a guilty pleasure for many reasons, the idea is so preposterous and surreal that you end up watching in shock. Also the movie is so unbelievably short that it's impossible to be really too bored and as always Tim Thomerson is fun to watch, that being said there is too much stock footage from Dollman, Demonic Toys and Bad Channels but you never get too bored since there is always something silly going on. Also there just is something surreal about watching Tim Thomerson fight a giant baby doll while rescuing his beloved "dollchick".

* * out of 4-(Fair)

Well, I rented this movie, and I think my IQ has been lowered by it. It was funny to hear a baby doll cussing though. I feel an obligation to watch the other movies in the series now for some odd reason...
