“Stuart Gordonu0026#39;s u0026quot;Dollsu0026quot; (1987) is still one of the best u0026quot;Killer Dollu0026quot; films and came out before succesful franchises like u0026quot;Childu0026#39;s Playu0026quot; and u0026quot;Puppet Masteru0026quot;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis yearu0026#39;s u0026quot;Dollsu0026quot; just happens to have the same title and subject because it certainly isnt a remake of the classic 1987 version.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe problem is that the simple screenplay is way too short for a feature film length. Thatu0026#39;s why most scenes are prolonged en seems to go on forever. Half of itu0026#39;s running time should haven ended up on the cutting room floor. The pace is too slow, endless scenes of boring dialogue.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe saddest part is that the Attic Dolls are only seen standing still, theyu0026#39;re not seen in action, due to budgettary reasons I guess..u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe cast in mediocre at best and this feels way to much like a made for TV film. The only real scare is why genre favorite Dee Wallace (The Howlling, E.T, Halloween 2007) is mixed up in this cheap mess.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere ar worse horror films out there but this is another disappointing attempt at making a scary film. Because it simply isnu0026#39;t.”
