In 1911, 12 year old Sophia was playing in one of the rooms of her house with her four homemade dolls, that her abusive father forbid her to be in. After her father has finally had enough, he forced her to bury her dolls in the backyard. After she "slips" and breaks her neck, her father buries her along with her dolls.
94 years later, the Fillbrook family moves into the house. The son, Guy finds the dolls while playing in the backyard. The dolls become possessed with Sophia's spirit to protect Guy from the constant bullying he faces from his older sister, Deedee and her friends, Olivia, Rich and Tom. Now it's up to the kids to survive the night from the killer dolls.
There is so many things wrong in this movie. I'll start with the acting. Awful, just awful. It's like they weren't even trying to give a great performance. I could of acted more scared in this movie then any of those actors. You would think after seeing your boyfriend get killed from getting bitten in the crotch by one of the dolls, your scream would sound more terrified then a fake croak.
Deedee was your typical valley girl bitch. Hearing her talk is like nails on a chalk board along with her slutty friend, Olivia. She tried to come off more as a hot slut then a dumb blonde. Unfortunately for her the dumb blonde showed through a lot more. I really don't think that was their intention.
Guy was whiny in the movie since he had to deal with all the bullying. His acting was so bad, it came off as though this was his first acting gig. The so called tough jocks, Rich and Tom were idiots. Rich was the worst. I know some jocks are stupid but not all of them are. And they aren't THAT stupid. Rich was the mean bully and his friend, Tom was a lot nicer to Guy but still beat him up with Rich as a result of peer pressure. I think they should of had Tom be mean along with Rich. It didn't mesh well with one being mean and the other kind of of nice but still went along with the bullying.
The only one who actually did a somewhat decent performance (not by much) was Terri who has a crush on Guy. You could tolerate her acting throughout the movie.
Sophia and her Father were equally as bad. Sophia with her "Please daddy, I won't do it again. Please they're my friends." And her father, "You slow dumb witted girl." Good hell, who talks like that?
Next, the contrast of the film was horrible. It looked like it was filmed in the late 80's early 90's. I know they weren't trying to make it look like that since they made it known that it was set in present day of the year 2005. Most of the death scenes were stupid. Sophia falls into the grave that's pretty much a foot deep. I really doubt that can kill her. If it can then I'll be damned.
The script was poorly written. The dialogue between the actors was dumbfounding. While watching this movie I kept thinking to myself, were they drunk when they made this movie??? The story line was bad, and even if they got a new script it still would of been awful. The dolls looked like crap. They were creepy but still crap. They looked like a rip off of the puppets from The Puppetmaster, which is kind of funny since Charles Band who was one of the writers of the Puppetmaster was the director and writer of this movie.
This movie wasn't good and it's a one time watch. Two if you're extremely bored but I don't see myself watching this movie again in my near future. It wasn't that entertaining but I managed to stay focused on the movie instead of drifting off and that is a huge accomplishment for me since the movie was awful. Don't waste your time by watching this movie. I did because I bought a DVD featuring 20 horror films.
I give this movie 1 1/2 out of 5 Skulls.
P.s. Was this a bad rip off of Dolls?
