My Review

Opening is very good with dolls and that creepy music it sort of gives you a clue to what horror scary Is ahead in this pretty long one though about over 2 mins after that a car is showing going down the road with a father and daughter and her stepmother who does not like the girl at all then a huge terry bear comes out of no where eats mom and dad but turn out to be just a dream boy that one scary teddy bear set up very good in first few mins of the movie that for sure watching this movie a third time see that again is more scary in my view.

Then they go in a house that creepy lighting and very dark house dolls all over the place with good doll motivation as well something the new dolls movie did not take note of hint this way the original is the best then that bad remake trust me this one is better horror version which takes place while it is storm out and lighting effects the story is told very as well.

Dolls again look great they made them come alive very well very creepy motion as well also old couple seem nice as well to little girl they seem to not like the other people much that in there house like Ralph who brought 2 woman in who look to rob the couple big mistake as dolls attack her in a bloody way again creepy dolls they look so real almost the little girl see woman being killed try to tell dad and mom but they do not believe her at all pretty much they are mean to her.

So Ralph and girl go to attic and up there in shadows was woman who was killed early now with big eyes look like she got a touch up as she now look like a huge doll with creepy eyes that good makeup there that for sure.

Little girl and Ralph was talking and doll Mr jiggle I think name is saying no Ralph you know in a creepy voice then after that dolls go after the stepmom and attack her but she wind up killing her self bye jumping out window my guess if you die here you get a 2nd chance as to become a doll well the other woman who went looking for her friend found her friend who eyes fall out so she try to kill them but dolls kill her and now my guess she one of them.

Little girl shows Ralph somehow he made them mad bad move look like he was going to be next but little girl told them to stop and they did. After that her father found out hid wife or girlfriend Is dead and then he goes nuts before he almost kill Ralph the dolls stop him and go after the father then after that old lady and her husband comes down and see Mr punch the doll no more.

So the father replaces him by turning into the new Mr punch pretty creepy how he become the doll as well after that ralph and little girl wake up and old couple tells them the truth about her father and this was a nightmare good story all lies but in a good way they want them to forget what happen at end they show the woman and dad and stepmother now as doll as movie ends with another car getting stuck with another family not in storm this time that means it probably start up again like start of the movie good tease there.

Anyway fun to revisit dolls movie at Halloween here to review it was great watching this one better then remake that for sure which was nothing this one had great effects for dolls to make them creepy as hell and old couple acting was something as well guess they were the ones behind the dolls guess it like you die there you become a doll or as father learn your emotions if mean to doll you become one as father did very creepy but very good writing this is indeed a movie I would watch over and over again that for sure.

Dolls (1987) rating 7.5/10
