Dolls

This film is a bit of an odd one really. Its not really that horrifying but I do appreciate the effort going into it. I dont get why the poster shows three dolls that arn't in this film. Anyway after an unknown man kills himself a childrens book author called Robert moves into his mums house to get a bit of peace to finish written and to also drink. His daughter sammy decides she wants to be there to. Robert finds three dolls he knows nothing about in the actic which in my opinion are creepy. But not creepy enough and are not really that menacing. Either way dolls is a bit of a let down but the acting was actually alrigth.

85 minutes of my life that I will never get back!Really can't get over how poor it was and how I actually got to the end of the film!

Right, well the 2019 horror movie "Dolls" turned out to be something of a less than mediocre horror movie. The entire movie was just permeated by something that made the movie seem like something that was made in the 1980s, for better or worse.

The storyline was generic and predictable. And for a horror movie, then the plot in "Dolls" was just downright derivative of other movies also set to be having dolls as the focal point. The 2019 movie "Dolls" from director Cuyle Carvin just failed to be original and it failed to be innovative.

If you enjoy generic horror movies that are stripped of everything even remotely scary, and just cruise straight ahead with no surprises or no plot twists, then "Dolls" might be right up your alley. But if you want a horror movie that will make you jump out of your seat and have you checking over your shoulders, then you should not waste an hour and twenty-five minutes on this movie.

And to make matters worse, then the three dolls in the movie weren't even remotely scary or disturbing in any manner. And the way they were utilized throughout the movie was just oozing with low budget and a lack of buget for special effects.

It should be said that the acting in the movie was actually decent, despite the fact that the characters in the movie were flawed by not really being properly fleshed out and appeared to be just hastily thought up to be put into the movie. It was nice, however, to see horror icon Dee Wallace make an appearance in the movie, despite being a small support role.

I managed to sit through the entire movie, but I wasn't impressed. It was a movie of sub-mediocre value, hence my rating lands on four out of ten stars.

Nice and slightly scary horror, if you want a movie with creepy dolls but not a total gore fest this might just be the thing, the actors were pretty good, I enjoyed it.

I know horror movies don't usually feature characters that are too bright, but you hope the characters are written as reasonably intelligent, or at least lucid enough to function in every day society. Not so much here. The writer of this movie seems to automatically conflate mental illness and addiction problems with being totally stupid. The characters just sort of stumble through the film as if it's their first day home from their most recent lobotomy. The lead actor, Tom Downey, must be someone's uncle, because no one in their right mind would cast this guy in a film because of his acting ability. The sad thing here is that with a couple minor changes in both the script and cast, the movie could have been very good.
