Got this film from HMV last week & made plans to watch the film because of how interesting it looked, DVD case & Trailer wise, though I was skeptical & shady about this film due to previous films of the same caliber which had the following things: Short run time, Epic DVD case, little known actors, self scored music, bad pacing, crappy effects & little known film making crew. Though I have seen some good straight-to-DVD films like this, I was still shady about it & didn't expect it to be amazing! The film is about 4 actors starting out in a Reality TV Show & whoever wins gets £1 million in prize money & gets to be the lead role in a Horror Film! That's the basic plot here & doesn't really explain a lot as I'll tell you at the end of this review.This film was decent, not epic, but decent. There were some pretty gory moments! It didn't disappoint in terms of blood & gore! Not to mention the villain was pretty creepy & terrifying! They surrounding scenery of the wooded area was another great visual added in too.But the bad & clichéd things I didn't like was the isolated story, the watery acting, the weak dialogue & the unconvincing story! It seemed all too rushed & quite thin, but what do you expect from a straight-to-DVD film with little to very unknown actors/actresses! But still this film seemed pretty weak & made on the cheap at points!But I'd say the biggest downfall was the ending! Yes, it was a f**king cliff hanger, but wait no the film just ended! Just like that! It wasn't even a damn cliff hanger let alone a decent ending to a film! It didn't even look like a cliff hanger ending it was that random, you were just getting into it & bam! The end! It was such a big cheat as well! I was seriously pi$$ed off! It left me feeling empty & really deprived of what I wanted to know, I mean I've seen some bad endings to films but this...!The ending costed my review a good couple of stars & as a result, I give this film a 3/10, It had gore & violence, but among other things in the clichéd straight-to-DVD films the ending just killed it entirely!

I must say that I was not expecting much but I was totally blown away with this movie, one of the best horror movies I think I have ever seen. The director, producer, writers and, of course, the cast have created a movie that will not easily be forgotten. I can't wait to see more of their excellent work. Don't miss a work of pure genius and imagination. I have already seen it 4 times and will shortly be seeing it again as every time I see it, I notice something different. For example, last time I watched I noticed a group of goblins, obviously drunk, doing a Zulu Warrior whilst. Another time I noticed crocodiles fighting anacondas and I realized what a brilliant touch of avant-garde it was. So subtle and such a creative image by the producer particularly as the scene took place in Kew Gardens.Do not miss this amazing movie.

Just suffered through possibly one of the worst 2015 horror movies ever. "Playing with Dolls" Whaetever it was about who knows? A woman went to a cabin in the woods after getting some call from a lady who gave her a key to a car and she drove there and was picked up and taken the rest of the way to the cabin, Then we watch for half hour as she eats, sleeps and dances around the house, unknown to her that there are camera's in the house watching her every move while some weirdo sits there watching her and a killer in the house.Let's just say the killer in the mask and rags is pathetic...he kills no one the whole movie, and the only kills were from the police themselves and all the scary masked killer does is walk around trying to be scary but fails badly.The characters I didn't care for or like and nothing happens this whole movie. Do not waste 1 hour 20 with this movie and the ending was bad enough as it comes finally and ends just like that!!Bad and a failure of a movie.....The producers of this movie and all people involves should be hanged for this shame of a movie! 1 out of 10

This movie right here is without a doubt one of the weakest I have ever seen, and I've seen many!! Believe me when I tell you this: nothing happens!!OK, read carefully and don't you dare to double check me cause that will mean watching it for yourself, so please, please let me do you this one favor and steer you in another direction. At first I couldn't believe how many shots were pretty much for nothing, just to fill some time, but as the movie progressed I discovered that it actually has almost nothing to show. Two kills, not all made by the killer, close to no plot, no gore, little nudity, a good killer mask and a laughable soundtrack. The killer has almost no action whatsoever, which is quite amazing for a horror, the main actor is shown the entire movie, as she eats, dances, sleeps and so on and then when the ending comes, it just comes. A few "action" scenes and the end!Playing with dolls should be named Playing with your nerves! Don't do it. Very weak production!Cheers!
