Doll Graveyard Trailers

It's 1905 when 12 year old Sophia plays all by herself in her big, creepy house with only four handmade dolls as friends. When her abusive father has finally had enough, he forces her to bury them in the backyard. But, after she "slips" and breaks her neck, dad buries her right along with the dolls. 100 years later, the Fillbrook family moves into the very same house.

This is probably one of Bands best films to date although not exactly an original concept, but its pretty well made and directed coming across as a sensible thriller. Again we have killer dolls on the loose but much like 'Puppet Master' they do look really good and have clearly been well designed with a lot of care and attention. I especially liked the samurai and German dolls.Its very very predictable with nothing new to bring to the forum. Put simply if you like these types of horrors then you will certainly enjoy this. By now Band is pretty much an expert at shooting model dolls so this is good stuff, not just trashy cheap visuals as in the early years. Just don't go expecting top class acting or thrills or any originality, nice film title though.6/10

To be made in 2005 this seemed hauntigly similar to a 90s American pie to movie full of raunchy teenagers enjoying alcohol drugs and sex. The dolls reminded me of something that would have been in a nicklelodian movie and looked like it was made in someone's backyard. I compared it to the movie "teeth" when the young man's penis was jabbed by one of the dolls and a ridiculous amount of blood spilt everywhere. Might as well have been a 90s comedy with the bad puns and boyz to men soundtrack. The characters in this movie at often times made me feel uncomfortable with their over sexual behavior and stupidity I particularly hated the stupid jock. This movie was also over the top bloody for each situation. However it was entertainingBdon & lis

...like this 'film'.From the opening credits I knew this one was going to be a stinker. It seems that 9/10 times, movies shot on video (as opposed to film or at least look like they're shot on film) tend to be awful endeavors. It may be the medium, but usually video, while allowing more of the expense of production to go to the production itself (ie. effects, locations, etc.) should be a good thing. The sad thing here is that once again, the description I read was so misleading as to make you think you were renting a B-movie, but one with possibilities.So, the movie revolves around the adolescent daughter of an abusive father (the abuse is inferred, but never really shown to a great degree). Anyway, she's playing where she shouldn't, breaks a vase and you can guess the rest... OK, if you can't... Her father is furious (go figure) and orders her to dig a hole (grave) and bury her only friends, her dolls, in the ground. Well, an accident happens, she inadvertently falls in the hole and dies (I wasn't really clear how that happened) and her father buries her along with the dolls.Jump ahead 94 years... A new family moves in replete with stereotyped older teenage sister, geeky younger teenage brother and their single dad. One night, dad goes out to 'sow his oats' and leaves the sister in charge and angry because she missed a night with the girls. In the end, she invites the 'party' to her house and two clichéd jocks show-up to torment the geeky brother. Speeding ahead... Jocks torment geek, geek gets possessed by spirit of dead girl and dolls come to life to wreak havoc on the sister and her friends.Sound exciting? The description made it sound entertaining by saying this 'film' was a 'gore fest'... WRONG... Cheesy effects, cheesy acting, in fact more cheese than the entire year's revenue of said dairy product produced by the state of Wisconsin. BAD, BAD just BAD...Don't get me wrong, I love B and C movies, but this one was somewhere between an H and a Q. I realized early on that the guy who did the Puppet Master series held the reigns on this one (those were Lord of the Rings by comparison). Lame excuses like 'lack of budget' just don't cut it either, because I've seen some great material on a shoestring (or less) budget: UNDEAD, The Evil Dead, A Nightmare on Elm Street, etc.I feel somewhat redeemed because I rented in from RedBox for only a $1.00, but that doesn't completely negate the lost time I spent on this celluloid (or miniDV) turd.

Oh my god... From the moment this "movie" started I knew it was going to be bad. First of all the acting was just HORRIBLE! I mean come on "No daddy, I didn't mean to daddy!". If you think about the time period back then there would be many, many women figures around to take care of the girl. A nanny, or a step-mother, an aunt, or even her real mother would have been there to get her into shape. Then for the father to make the girl dig?! What was that?! And I mean when she fell she fell like what? A foot? That wouldn't kill anyone! And then for the father not to check to even see if she was alive?! Okay, now for the other lovely actors. ALL of the teenagers should have died! They deserved to. "AHHH What are we going to do?" I can tell you what to do... GET OUT OF THE HOUSE AND RUN FOR IT!!! GOD!!! HOW STUPID COULD YOU BE?! YOU JUST SAW YOUR BOYFRIEND GET KILLED (by being attacked in the crotch) AND YOUR JUST GONNA STAND THERE?! COME ON!!! And the blonde! Can you say stupid blonde?! "Where is my phone? I can't find it!" When she finally finds the dang thing she moved so slowly... YOUR SUPPOSE TO GRAB IT REALLY FAST! And you think she would learn! She did that the first time and then she got bit... You think she would say hey let me get it really fast and maybe I won't get bit again. OH! And did anyone notice that before she was bit there was blood already on her face? HOW DO YOU MAKE A MOVIE AND NOT NOTICE THAT? That and the bottle of alcohol that magically refilled itself over and over again. This was seriously bad excuse for a movie. I could go on and on about the sister, the friend who was hitting on the younger brother and don't even get me started on the doll loving boy... "I got the new Hydroman action figure" "Oh isn't that the one that turns into water?" "You know who Hydroman is too" *cough* Hydro means water honey... Anyone 9 and up knows that... GET A LIFE! And the ending?! There are three people dead in the house, the people who were just attacked by the dolls are standing over them lovingly and the doll lover turns into a dead rotting chick?! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT RENT THIS "MOVIE" IF YOU DO... I CAN'T HELP YOU ANYMORE... ITS TRULY A WASTE OF YOUR LIFE THAT YOU CAN NEVER GET BACK!
