    We DVR'd this little "gem".
    It is mostly PURE CHEESE...but there are some scenes with the possesed dolls that are actually kinda creepy.
    The storyline is ridiculous and the acting is mediocre, but (at times)..."dolly" is one creepy little bitch!

    a very bad movie, a rip-off of Child's Play.

    I've seen some really bad Killer Doll movies but this one indefinately wins the award for being the suckiest. I give this movie one star just because the doll looks creepy. I agree when people say this is a rip-off of Child's Play. If you watch the movie, you'll see why. This fil...( read more)m lacked creativity and imagination and those are two key elements I want to see in a horror flick about any kind of animated childrens' toy. I just didn't like it. Don't ever judge a movie by its movie cover. The Dolly Dearest movie cover is very menacing and scary. I thought there was no way Ithis movie could disappoint me. I should have threw the movie out and just kept the cover.

    Tiffany could of killed this ugly bitch one handed.

    Dolly Dearest is slow,awful,not scary,virtually gore free,boring and easy to forget. It easily could of been an episode of Goosebumps.

    Chucky rules,Dolly drools. Long live Chucky!

    Chucky, if it wasnt for your annoying wife Tiff...( read more)any I think Dolly and you would have made a perfect Bonni and Clive. This film is very similar to Child's Play movies. The intro music was cool, but the first few miniutes of the film felt very rushed, every time a scene begun it was over seconds later. Very creepy atmosphere, not grave yards or anything like that, but a small Mexican village. The acting in this movie is rusty as hell, and I can see why it didn't take on with more sequals, the last momments of the film were pretty cool, but the very ending sucked! I like how the family of 2 kids keeps a collection of guns and ammo on the wall, although the young boy does get hold of the gun and blasts the doll to peices and says "play with this bitch.".
