Playing with Dolls

Another film with the gear and the cast but an under-developed script. The opening drops us into a lot of action but never explains what's going on; you must infer from what you're shown. The lead baddie at his computer monitor is never explained either. What are his goals? Who frees serial killers in order to watch them at work? You must make motivations clear to the audience. The young heroine needs money - but what is everyone else up to, and why? The first hour (!) is heavily padded with superfluous goings-on. A few jump scares don't make up for a lack of real tension either. This was a near miss - a sharper focus on its goals, with fewer shots of the killer in full daylight, and this could have been an effective little thriller. Here's hoping the follow-ups are better vetted. Worth watching for the extremely pretty Natasha Blasick, the nifty (but unexplained) mask on the killer, and - well, not much else.

No budget, sense or originality. This is just another run-of-the-mill DTV bottomfeeder, that has as much to do with Halloween and Friday the 13th as a mocha smoothiea has with violent diarrhea. The hack Rene Perez acted as Director, Editor, Cinematographer, Writer, Composer and Producer on this pathetic nonsensical skidmark, all to horrendously incompetent effect. Just ignore it, nothing to see here.

Where Rene Perez gets funding for his absolutely horrible films is something I've always wondered. This movie is just bad. The acting is so poor that I wonder if these are even legit actors that were used. His directing style is poor. The story is 100% predictable from beginning to end. The editing is so bad I thought I was watching a spoof movie. The only good thing about this film is that it wasn't too long. This is not a horror, it's a comedy.

This is bad in every way. Scooby Doo had more terror and suspense and even when you knew what the ending of Scooby and the game that ending is still better than this. But with as bad as the slasher part was it was not as bad as the tiny cop. We are supposed to believe he chases this serial killer around the globe by himself while wearing his Toys R Us uniform. None of the characters were at all believable as people so they had no shot at making believable characters. The whole thing was like the writer had never seen a horror movie or a cop movie he just had someone explain the concept of them with no details about character development. I wish I could still like movies like this and envy those who do, it would make wasting 2 hours less painful.

Have lost the small shred of respect that I had left for Rotten tomatoes! Recently holidayed in Berwick, had a lovely time. In our apartment was a dvd player. In the local charity shops dvds were 3 for one pound. Came accros this dvd and googled reviews. RT give it 55%. Can't be all bad thinks I.

Total waste of time, utter garbage.
