Demonic Toys: Personal Demons

Arriving at an ancient Italian castle, a professor and his staff attempting to document the findings with a group of antiquities experts finds they have released a series of dolls possessed by an evil, demonic energy and must race to find a way out alive.

This here was a decent enough if slightly flawed effort. One of the main elements going for this one is the fact that there's quite a large amount of Gothic atmosphere found here in the main location as this one really lets the castle location come through quite nicely. This features all the usual grand set-pieces and designs that come about here through the location taking place here, from the scenes of them wandering about the castle going for the various rooms and settings featured here while taking full advantage of material that can be attempted here with the elaborate, ornate decorations, candelabra- lit rooms, secret passageways and much more that makes this one quite a bit more fun than it really should be putting the Gothic set-pieces into the hunting grounds for the toys. With the discovery of the different rooms featured within here, especially the torture chamber and the exorcism vault that are found here, they make for a great place here which gives the dolls a spectacular place to hunt, generating the great stalking scenes in the basement where they take out the cheating couple or in the big bedroom against the one unaware loner who gets tormented beforehand with all the various sights and sounds of them appearing before the final kill which is quite impressive and enjoyable. Once they finally reveal themselves here which comes at the end of the big seance sequence which itself is a fantastic highlight offering with the flashing lights, demonic voices and the overall resolution of the main plot line being revealed to them, this one readily picks up the action and becomes a thrilling, suspenseful series of chasing through the bowels of the castle trying to fight them off in order to get away which makes for a fine finish here. These here make this one quite fun and enjoyable, though it does have a few quite detrimental issues. The main one here is the fact that the film's rather long periods of time here without the dolls being a part of the film, letting the exploration of the castle and their eccentricities take over the large portion of time here in the first half so they don't get really unleashed to knock people off until the later half. That it all for the better here, with the doll effects being quite substandard and really silly looking, barely featuring enough here to look like they're committing the crimes and just making it very obvious they're dolls. It's the biggest thing that holds this one back, alongside the bland pacing.

Rated R: Graphic Language and Graphic Violence.

The evil toys totally make this movie, there is something about them I really really like. If you don't like horror movies, b-movies and all that, then why you watching this movie? Of course you wont like it. However, this was a decently made low-budget movie.

Other makers of low budget horror should really take note, this is how its done. A small cast, with actual characters, gore, one setting (the Italian castle).

The acting wasn't that great, but what do you expect? This was a fun movie, and the plot with Devotello or whatever it was called, was cool. That and I just loved that killer baby!

Demonic Toys 2 (2010) is available for free on Tubi. The storyline focuses on some world explorers investigating an Italian castle that unleashed a spirit who brings the demonic toys back to life. This movie is directed by William Butler (Gingerbread Man 3, Furnace and Power Rangers) and stars Alli Kinzel (Criminal Minds), Lane Compton (NCIS) and Selene Luna (My Bloody Valentine). The storyline was okay and kind of had a throwback feel to it (like Ghoulies) but the script wasn't as good as most Demonic Toys movie. Usually there's some solid comedic content but this falls short of the previous three pictures. The kill scenes are just okay and the entertainment value is ehh. This is worth seeing if you're a fan of the series but a below average addition to the genre. I'd give it a 3.5/10.

Okay, I'm a fan of Charles Band and his company Full Moon, my favorite is Puppet Master and Demonic Toys so I was more than happy to check this one out. So me and my younger brothers which are also fans of the original decided to check this out last night, but sadly we were disappointed.

This movie was awful but not in a good way. The original Demonic toys was a low budget cheesy movie but it delivered a good amount of fun and really kept you entertained despite the bad acting n lack of plot. This movie on the other hand it didn't quite deliver the fun, all this movie seem to deliver to me, is a good amount of boredom. I literally found myself doing something else than watching the movie. But i really think that's the fault of the pacing of the movie because it's really slow, we really seem to spend more time with the Human characters of the movie, that's never really a bad thing but they don't add anything to the movie except wonder around a castle for what seems like forever. So when finally get to the demonic toys they aren't anything special because compared to the original they really cheap and the voice of Baby Oopsite Daisy gets annoying after a while. So as a Demonic toys fan like I stated above it was a big disappointment I'm actually really ashamed of myself for buying the DVD

Although if you don't, we won't have a movie now ... right? Also there is whole bunch of these. And I don't just mean killer toys, but as in Demonic Toys. It spawned a lot of "sequels" - or is it prequels? Spinoffs? Haven't seen them so no idea.

So while there may be an story overall that connects them, I don't know about it. I made the effort and watched all Puppet Master movies - I think that's enough of one of that series! There's no need at least at the moment to go through with this one too. Especially because there are so many other movies I have to get to ... What this is about you ask? Well what do you think? A bunch of people in a "castle" being hunted by toys ... it sounds ridiculous you say? Sure, but it can be also fun if you are into the joke. Decently made overall
