Young Judy Bower (Carrie Lorraine) is spending the summer with her stupid, abusive father, David (Ian Williams), and nasty stepmother, Rosemary (Carolyn Purdy-Gordon). On a dark and stormy night, their car breaks down on a lonely road in the woods and they are forced to seek shelter. As they walk, Rosemary throws Judy's beloved teddy bear into the woods, and the imaginative child envisions it coming to life as a great fanged beast which slaughters her tormentors. The idea of loyal toys protecting their young owners from the ravages of the adult world is forcefully made, and imbues the rest of the film. They come upon a creepy old house owned by elderly Gabriel Hartwick (Guy Rolfe) and his wife, Hilary (Hilary Mason). Gabriel is a doll-maker and dazzles Judy with his collection of exquisitely detailed creations. Another car breaks down in the storm as well, bearing amiable Ralph Morris and two trampy hitchhikers.

I agree how cheesy this movie was. I just could not stand that dude's acting. I forgot his name but he survived at the end. I really enjoyed the ending though. I love doll movies.

One of my first Full Moon films before Puppet Master. As I caught both this and Blood Dolls on TV.

Anyways, one of my favorite doll films. I really loved when the girls were in the room. And that big giant doll in the background, her eyes just blinked. Yet the two girls didn't notice.

Wish this film would have had a sequel. So we could see the bear in action. But out of all the dolls, the toy soldiers or the jester who saved Judy.

Would have been fun to at least see if the toy soldiers were the soul of a single person. Or actually magic though.

Probably my favorite Full Moon film overall, though I admit that I've sat through less than twenty lol. I haven't heard of Blood Dolls. How was that?

/offtopic, sorry.

Good movie, with great production design. Full Moon planned a sequel, but I'm not sure why it was never made.

Star Stephen Lee passed away earlier this year.

This here was quite the fun and enjoyable killer doll effort. One of the film's best points here is in how this one manages to readily showcase the child-like innocence and charm associated with toys and dolls, not only how they can add to their development but also to their power as an adult in recapturing their inner youth, and that adds a lot here by allowing several threads to emerge from within. Being around the dolls as much as they are give this a great feel for them and their unnerving appearance is good enough to have some really creepy moments here from watching the thief in the doll-room and inside the girls' room that when it comes time for the other great part to come from this the film really scores nicely. That other big factor here comes from the second half as the dolls spring into action and begin stalking the group in the house which leads to some really great stalking. The first attack in the doll-room is really fun as the hidden nature of the attackers is really fun, while the two big attacks here are fun, lengthy sequences that get a lot of action here starting with the attack on the step-mother as the dolls swarm over her from all over the room and leads into their rather brutal series of bodily hacking and being trapped as the dolls close in on her to deliver the big death blow. As well, the other attack on the friend is really fun as the dolls begin knocking things over to get her attention then swarm all over her before driving her out and attacking her there in a fun, frantic sequence. While the finale brawl in the doll-room doesn't have that kind of action, there's a lot to like here of the brutal brawling and the frenzied attacks makes for a fine, satisfying conclusion. Along with the incredibly strong special effects work on the dolls as they're incredibly realistic and like-like, generating a lot of fun here in their scenes, these here are the film's good points against the few flaws. The biggest issue here is the film's length, which barely runs eighty minutes here, and with a pretty large portion of the time on demeaning and ridiculing her desires, which causes this to come as a way too clichéd manner to eat up time without really doing much else during that time. The only other main thing about the film is that it takes far too long in setting everything up that it then has to rush everything to get it completed. That does make the beginning a little hard to get through, as everything quickly happens then it slowly and surely takes it's time before speeding up again at the end. It's a distraction from the other parts of the film. Otherwise, this here was a lot of fun.
Do illiterate people get the full effect of alphabet soup?

Some people are like slinkies: not good for anything, but you can't help but laugh when one falls down the stairs.

I normal hate it when the a movie as dream scene near the start of the movie, for this I found the dream scene really fun and a little cute.

Judy step mum- is one hell of Evil Nasty b***h, God what the hell is wrong with her and her Dad as to one most nasty and silly parents in the world. (She better off without them)

I just could not wait for the dolls to kill them, they got what they deserved.

some of the dolls were really creepy and all the razor sharp teeth makes look even more scary and there was some bloody moment in this movie, I would not say gory.

I love effects near the end of the movie, the scene. what happens to the father was really good, the good old cheesy 80's effect are great fun to watch.

The acting was really good from everyone in the movie 8 out of 10 Great fun movie.

LMAO. You accidentally said "Fukk Moon." Sorry, that sounds like a really, really bad porno...

But back on topic. This is such a stupid movie, but it is Full Moon, so you cannot expect anything better. I still liked it, though.

Lmao... Fukk Moon...

I really enjoyed this one. I was always on the look out for Dolls 2. Did they even make that one? I remember seeing the poster for 2 in one of Full Moon's BTS segments after the credits.

That blows the sequel was cancelled. A sequel could've been so awesome.

This movie's dumber than dogshit, but I say that with the absolute highest amount of love one can give a b-horror flick about dolls from Full Moon.
