Whoever put the idea in the head of Rene Perez to become a director deservers to be shot publicly. What a dumb movie. The actors are horrible. The music is so bad it sounds like it was made by an 11 year old on a laptop, and the "gore" is so bad it looks comical.
This is not so much a sequel as part of a franchise. Instead of having a lone damsel being terrified, tormented and tortured by a mysterious psychopath, we start with four "contestants" - two male and two female. They are secreted in an isolated luxury cabin and told the one who survives until the end will win a million dollars with a lot more and fame to follow. It is fair to say that none of the group expected the word survive to be taken too literally, and one by one they are picked off.
The plot is fairly predictable, especially if you are unfortunate enough to have seen the previous offering, but sadism, gratuitous maiming and murder can only carry any film so far. The real tragedy of "Playing With Dolls..." is that the man behind it has missed his true vocation; Rene Perez also composed and performed its vastly superior soundtrack.

The film starts off strong by having the worst actors ever and a very campy plot. It was really entertaining in that aspect. However, it just rushes to end, not even putting in any effort to wrap it up properly. The crappy ending seems like a last ditch attempt to make sure that they did waste your time.
just watched this movie expecting it to be like one of the classic 70s horror movies as advertised on the DVD sleeve and enjoyed it tongue in cheek up to the finale, yeh some of the characters seemed underdeveloped and the main protagonist history was unexplained but the main thing that pee-ed me off was in the final part the film seemed to run out of steam and was cut off in the final minutes leaving a very unsatisfying and abrupt end as if the creaters of this had run out of ideas HOW TO END THIS AND GAVE UP, watchable until the end, don't watch this unless you enjoy scratching your head and wondering why you spent £6 quid in Asda.
Playing With Dolls (2015) was pretty bad, starring Richard Tyson and telling the story of a psycho intentionally released from psychiatric care by an unscrupulous group who wanted to make a business out his murders.
The killer looked great but the film itself was a bit of a mess.
This sequel is essentially the same. Richard Tyson: Check Great looking killer: Check Crappy film: Check This one however was en-route to being better, it has its moments but dies a death in the closing moments and the reason is quite astonishing.
The final showdown is taking place, our main protagonist is battling the villain were about halfway through the fight and *Drumroll* the credits begin. That's right, the movie has no ending. It's like the editor forgot to add the finale and it's left laying on the editing floor.
I'm not going to say its a great shame, even with a decent ending this would hardly be a good film but the fact the movie was released in this state shocks me beyond words.
The Good:
Killer still looks badass
The Bad:
Cast are pretty damn bad
Kills are weak Where is the ending?
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Boobs are to the killer as crucifix's are to vampires.

- TriviaCaused some minor controversy when it was released in the UK under the title "Leatherface". Many critics have accused the filmmakers of trying to cash in on the then upcoming Texas Chainsaw Massacre prequel film. Rene Perez had denied this and apologized claiming that it was the distributor's choice of the title.
- Crazy creditsSpecial thanks to the San Quentin State Prison for releasing prisoner AYO-886 for the duration of filming.
