Creepy doll flick, 10 July 2006
Author: DisgorgedMenstrualSludge from Hell

Before the Chucky franchise swept the horror scene, there was this little cult classic. Okay, it may not be a classic, but it is probably the creepiest killer doll movie ever made. A family seeks cover from a storm after their car gets stuck. They end up finding a mansion inhabited by a elderly couple who make dolls. Then, after a few more people arrive to escape the rain, they all have dinner and go to their rooms. That's when the fun begins as they are killed off by some sinister little dolls. Not much blood, but there are some creepy moments mainly due to the great mood and sets. Using stop-motion effects for the dolls looked okay but didn't really catch on. Surprised this wasn't followed by a ten part franchise. Much better than Child's Play.
