Dollman contra los juguetes demoníacos

First off, I am a fan of the full moon films from the early and mid 90's. So it was cool to see a mix of their franchises on the screen. Like most Full Moon Fanatics, I can't really say why they appeal to me, the budgets aren't high, but the acting is usually above normal straight to video fare and they entertain, I guess that's the bottom line..they entertain.

Now for this movie in particular. The effects were fine (except for the large Baby oopsy),Tim Thomerson always delivers, and both female leads (Tracy Scroggins, and Mellisa Behr), are attractive and do a fine job. Baby Oopsie-Daisy is a riot. I have to admit I really enjoyed the movie, a great way to spend and hour, and that leads me to my only complaint. It was only 64 minutes long. Add in the opening and closing credits along with the flashback sequences to the other movies (Dollman, Demonic Toys, and Bad Channels) to introduce the main characters back stories and you were well under an hour. Now I prefer a shorter movie to a long one. If you can't tell your story in 2hours or so you just aren't trying (in most cases). But this was a little too short, no development. Why did the dwarf security guard join the demonic toys so quickly, who was that girl they sacrificed where did she come from? Show me something rather then explain it with one line of dialog. Anyway felt more like an hour long TV episode rather then a movie.

Final decision : I really enjoyed the time spent watching it. There were some good, and some below average effects. Slightly underdeveloped story and characters, but in the end it entertained. It was funny, had some decent action, and was just plain fun.

This movie has to be the worst sequel ever made! I was so mad when the movie ended I almost broke the tape over a table. But I didn't want to pay over twenty bucks for a piece of trash like this. This movie had no class, no talent, and no teddy bear! They took the teddy bear out! Ok they kept the jack in the box, ok cool by me, he's my favorite but the teddy bear was took out. They replaced him with a G-I-Joe doll look alike. And too make this movie even worse it was a sequel to three movies. "Demonic Toys", "Bad Channels", and "Dollman". Ok it was cool how they combined them all together but come on. Viewers beware! This movie is no good. I give it a 0 out of ten.

Dollman vs. Demonic Toys (1993) was a sequel for Full Moon's two minor video hits DOLLMAN and THE DEMONIC TOYS. Tracy Scoggins (Demonic Toys) and Tim Thomerson (Dollman) reprise there starring roles in this weird, short and economic sequel. Those evil and wacky dolls from DEMONIC TOYS are giving more headaches and causing grief for Ms. Scoggins. She can''t defeat these twisted toys by herself. Help comes in the form of that diminutive alien Dollman. Dollman armed with his high tech pistol evens the odds against those annoying toys. Can they defeat the toys once and for all? Will Dollman ever get back home? Do they have enough real footage to make this movie enjoyable? You'll have to find out if you really want to track down a copy of DOLLMAN VS. THE DEMONIC TOYS.

For die hard fans only.

I love the films of Full Moon Entertainment, the best still being The Pit and The Pendulum and the worst being Invisible: The Chronicles of Benjamin Knight. Dollman VS. Demonic Toys falls somewhere inbetween, leaning towards bad. This movie is absolutely ridiculous, a sequel to three of their films (those being Dollman, Demonic Toys and Bad Channels).

But this movie, with all the B-grade charms, still entertained me. I have no clue why, but it just did. The baby doll, looking hopeless compared to Chucky in the animatronic effects department, is riotously funny. The problem with this movie is simply this, it's just not long enough. I have no idea why the film runs 84 minutes in the USA, but here in Australia, it runs a mere 58 minutes. 58 minutes! Good for a cheap laugh or two, and special effects aren't that bad.

AUSTRALIAN CLASSIFICATION:

MA15+ Medium Level Course Language and Violence

Thankfully, my local video store has excellent prices.

"Demonic Toys" was an excellent movie. I have never seen "Dollman" or "Bad Channels", but they don't look too interesting. No matter what, they can't beat this movie for trash.

Baby Oopsie-Daisy, one of the best characters in the original film, is destroyed with his "new" ultra-squeak voice. He sounds like someone just kicked him in the "Oopsie Daisy". Jack is not only mysteriously alive, he's gotten out of his little box. Nurse Ginger is mildly humorous in the same way the gratuitous T&A scenes are mildly humorous in most '80s horror flicks.

This movie is totally devoid of plot, and it's amazing they could come up with something this bad. Not counting credits, opening sequences, flashbacks, and "special add-on video", this movie lasted less than an hour. About the only thing that was worth renting the movie for was the musical accompaniment. They stuck with the same freaky polka music that categorized the original "Demonic Toys", which was almost enough to give this movie a bit of a fright.

I'll give it a one out of ten for the blonde in the nurse's outfit running around screaming, and a two out of ten for the cussing baby. And a three out of ten for the usage of the phrase "do the nasty".
