Blood Dolls

Though they are the title characters, the Blood Dolls are, surprisingly, not the film's main focus. As the film continues, it turns from a simple killer doll film to a twisted romance. The transition is smooth, and adds a sense of freshness to the story; there are even two endings, one for the romantically inclined and another, more typical ending. The plot innovations are believable because of Maturin's great facial expressions and delivery during his interactions with other characters. Unfortunately, the practical effects budget barred Maturin from being in any shots other than close-ups; a well-used puppet head (it's not totally apparent, and is used sparingly from careful angles to prevent it from becoming so) takes his place in a couple shots. Like many Full Moon releases, CG-effects were ditched in favor of practical effects, and though they worked well for Virgil and the rest of the film, the Blood Dolls are not as animated as their fellow killer-puppets in the Puppet Master series; they look fantastic but move more stiffly. Perhaps this is partially why Band made this film more story-oriented than death-oriented.

Though not all professional musicians, an original idea was for the actresses playing Virgil's band-in-a-cage to record a soundtrack CD and go on tour after the film's release as The Blood Dolls. This was scrapped, but the majority of the movie's soundtrack is provided by the band (along with a music video on the DVD), is quite good (it could certainly fit in with some o

Well I love Full Moon Pictures films. They are unique and very creative. When I saw Blood Dolls in my video store I looked at the back cover and was amazed. The clown and the evil dolls drew me to the film. I waited a day to view it and boom the movie struck me with a bad aftertaste. The concept was great a millonaire loses cause of greedy people that screwed him over. The girl band spiced up the movie for man especially when she flashed her boobs. The Clown was cool in many ways the dwarf was the comic releif. And the dominatrix and her slave were funny also. The Blood Dolls were just a plus they killed people in stupid ways. I wanted them to be creative in they ways they did it. Like Puppet Master but no the Pimp shoots them the girl throws knives and the hardcore doll throws a weight on a guy. Which kinda resembles Pinhead from Puppet Master. Anyway if youre looking for a grade B horror/funny movie this might be the one for you. But be warned do not and I am going to repeat myself do not buy it. Rent it so you dont have to waste any money.

Rated R for Violence/Gore,Language,and Brief Nudity

Full Moon does it again with Blood Dolls. Their weirdest effort yet. A billionaire has just created the Blood Dolls, obedient little creatures with deadly features. Betrayed by those he most closely trusted, he and his family of freaks are about to exact the ultimate revenge. I gave this movie ** stars out of ****. Fun to watch with a group of friends. Check it out for the hell of it!

With BLOOD DOLLS, Director Charles Band has done it again! Another triumph for FULL MOON productions! Eccentric, masked billionaire, Virgil Travis (Jack Maturin) loses big money, and must have revenge against those who've tried to destroy him and his empire.

Aided by his trusted servant / henchman / spiritual advisor, Mr. Mascaro (William Paul Burns in a three-piece suit and full clown makeup), he sends a trio of his latest creations to deal with his rivals.

Uh oh!

Virgil never counted on the brilliant dominatrix, Moira (Debra Mayer) getting involved! Can twisted love win out against her plans for world dominion?

This movie offers non-stop lunacy, a caged, all-girl rock band, an eeevil dwarf (Phil Fondacaro), gore, BDSM, mad science, a drill murder, and a novel use of piano wire! For those looking for something VERY different...

His Empire May Have Crumbled. The Full Moon might have slightly dimmed, And as for the present state of being for Charles Band and his new company Shadow Entertainment, Time will only tell, i for one will always follow.

Now As for "Blood Dolls" upon only my second viewing i was suddenly struck with the notion, now if memory serves, Ever since my viewing of "Ghoulies" which was my very first Band movie, i can never quite recall Charles Band Actually writing the movie script himself, but here he did.

So here i was, Thinking. Did Band base the Character of Virgil on himself, all the major factors were present. Here was Virgil head of his company having to safeguard his own wellbeing as well as that of his company from the nasty clutches of outside forces.

You be the judge, and wonder just how many times Charles Band has had to swim with the sharks and if like me you are a real fan, enjoy the film, it certainly made for a different kind of viewing, pleasant yes for the film itself had a kind of voyueristic feel. If in Doubt check out Meridian or Head of the Family as prime examples.
