Bonecas Assassinas

This film is a bit of an odd one really. Its not really that horrifying but I do appreciate the effort going into it. I dont get why the poster shows three dolls that arn't in this film. Anyway after an unknown man kills himself a childrens book author called Robert moves into his mums house to get a bit of peace to finish written and to also drink. His daughter sammy decides she wants to be there to. Robert finds three dolls he knows nothing about in the actic which in my opinion are creepy. But not creepy enough and are not really that menacing. Either way dolls is a bit of a let down but the acting was actually alrigth.

Right, well the 2019 horror movie "Dolls" turned out to be something of a less than mediocre horror movie. The entire movie was just permeated by something that made the movie seem like something that was made in the 1980s, for better or worse.

The storyline was generic and predictable. And for a horror movie, then the plot in "Dolls" was just downright derivative of other movies also set to be having dolls as the focal point. The 2019 movie "Dolls" from director Cuyle Carvin just failed to be original and it failed to be innovative.

If you enjoy generic horror movies that are stripped of everything even remotely scary, and just cruise straight ahead with no surprises or no plot twists, then "Dolls" might be right up your alley. But if you want a horror movie that will make you jump out of your seat and have you checking over your shoulders, then you should not waste an hour and twenty-five minutes on this movie.

And to make matters worse, then the three dolls in the movie weren't even remotely scary or disturbing in any manner. And the way they were utilized throughout the movie was just oozing with low budget and a lack of buget for special effects.

It should be said that the acting in the movie was actually decent, despite the fact that the characters in the movie were flawed by not really being properly fleshed out and appeared to be just hastily thought up to be put into the movie. It was nice, however, to see horror icon Dee Wallace make an appearance in the movie, despite being a small support role.

I managed to sit through the entire movie, but I wasn't impressed. It was a movie of sub-mediocre value, hence my rating lands on four out of ten stars.

85 minutes of my life that I will never get back!Really can't get over how poor it was and how I actually got to the end of the film!

I don't know who this movie is for? People who loved Chucky? People who can't afford to go to the movies and watch Chucky so they watch Dolls at home instead? If that's the case, save up your money for a few weeks and go see Chucky. Dolls may cost less, but you'll never get these minutes of your life back.

This is a fairly enjoyable, restrained horror story which employs a very creepy, well thought-out reason for the little figures and their violent tendencies. It also features a range of characters who remain pretty unlikeable throughout. It should be said though, that the daughter Sammey's sassy attitude is genuinely hilarious at times, and Trinity Simpson's delivery completely sells it. Precocious and potty-mouthed she might be, but she frequently raises a smile.

Dolls are notoriously difficult to make frightening, especially on a low budget. I do feel the scares are too infrequent, but they do occasionally pack a punch. My score is 7 out of 10.
