Critic Reviews

  • Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

    At some point Dolls remains only an idea, a concept. It doesn't become an engine to shock and involve us.

  • Dustin Putman, DustinPutman.com

    Dolls is as warm and sincere as it is dastardly and spooky.

  • Nick Schager, Lessons of Darkness

    Feels like it was made by a trio of monkeys with a $20 budget.

  • Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

    Odd, sadly overlooked little horror film from Stuart Gordon. A kind of variant on The Old Dark House.

  • Brian Mckay, eFilmCritic.com

    Cheesy horror B-movie with a surprisingly clever script, more than a few laughs, and creepy moments.

    Oh who doesn't love a good horror flick about evil dolls?! Really the dolls helped get rid of the evil in this old bed and breakfast.. it's so creepy and classic.

    If you think of the dolls from Barbarella and Chucky from Child's Play, these dolls are sort of a mix of the two. They're just creepy dolls who kill, pretty much. The story is simple and ridiculous, the actors are bad, and I didn't care much for it, but it's not… More

    Dolls! A great adult horror fantasy movie for those who still have a child living inside them - and a need to see some gore. I enjoyed this fantastic film a lot! A little girl named Judy travels the English countryside with her father and step-mother Rosemary. Their car breaks down on… More
