Pretty Good

Memorable, crazy movie

How sad is this?

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

I quite enjoyed the first Demonic Toys movie for what it was: a knowingly silly horror romp in which the titular terrors go on a rampage, killing people trapped in a toy warehouse. This sequel (number four in the series, but a direct follow-on from the first movie) sees the return of Jack-in-a-box clown Jack Attack and demonic doll Baby Whoopsie, who are joined by Divoletto, an ugly, evil clockwork figure sought after by collector Dr. Lorca (apparently a character from Charles Band's Hideous!, which I have yet to see).Demonic Toys: Personal Demons is nowhere near as much fun as the original film: it's as though the makers found their location first (an old Italian castle), dusted off their dolls, hired a cast desperate enough to appear in such trash, and - lastly - tried (not too hard) to come up with something remotely resembling a story. A coherent plot definitely wasn't high on the priority list: it's a load of stuff and nonsense that features, among others, demonic possession, a seance, a haunted painting, and a gateway to hell - a grab-bag of clichés clumsily thrown together by writer/director William Butler.An unconvincing CGI decapitation is, disappointingly, the best moment; the low points are many, but the possession of a psychic midget is possibly the worst.N.B. Jane Wiedlin of The Go-Go's provided the voice for Baby Whoopsie.

DEMONIC TOYS 2 is a massively lacklustre B-movie sequel from Full Moon Pictures. It was shot in Italy as a belated sequel to the original movie, but it makes even the Full Moon flicks of the 1990s look good by comparison. The story is hackneyed and long-winded, involving a bunch of random and boring bad actors assembling in an old castle, where once again they're stalked and slashed by a bunch of rather uninteresting living dolls. The production values are rock bottom here and the calibre of the effects is reminiscent of the 1980s, except not as good. Give it a miss.

Okay, I'm a fan of Charles Band and his company Full Moon, my favorite is Puppet Master and Demonic Toys so I was more than happy to check this one out. So me and my younger brothers which are also fans of the original decided to check this out last night, but sadly we were disappointed. This movie was awful but not in a good way. The original Demonic toys was a low budget cheesy movie but it delivered a good amount of fun and really kept you entertained despite the bad acting n lack of plot. This movie on the other hand it didn't quite deliver the fun, all this movie seem to deliver to me, is a good amount of boredom. I literally found myself doing something else than watching the movie. But i really think that's the fault of the pacing of the movie because it's really slow, we really seem to spend more time with the Human characters of the movie, that's never really a bad thing but they don't add anything to the movie except wonder around a castle for what seems like forever. So when finally get to the demonic toys they aren't anything special because compared to the original they really cheap and the voice of Baby Oopsite Daisy gets annoying after a while. So as a Demonic toys fan like I stated above it was a big disappointment I'm actually really ashamed of myself for buying the DVD

A motley assortment of folks gather together to inspect an ancient evil puppet at a rundown castle. Naturally, said puppet and two other equally wicked toys come to murderous life. Writer/director William Butler relates the fun story at a swift pace, makes the most out of the sprawling old castle location, and delivers a generous sprinkling of graphic gore. The freaky dolls are genuinely grotesque and amusing, with the foul-mouthed Baby Whoopsie (voiced with cheerfully profane aplomb by Jane Wiedlan of the Go-Gos fame!) a total nasty and vulgar hoot throughout. A spooky séance set piece provides a definite highlight while the special effects are funky and colorful. The cast have a ball with the blithely trashy material: the fetching Alli Kinzel gives a charming and spirited turn the sweet and chipper Caitlin, Michael Citriniti slimes it up nicely as sleazy creep Dr. Lorca, the gorgeous Elizabeth Bell bitches it up delightfully as the sexy, but snippy Lauraline, and Leslie Jordan is a whiny riot as the effeminate Professor Butterfield. Terrance Reicher's slick cinematography gives the picture a pleasing glossy look. The shivery score by Richard Band and Kenny Meriedeth hits the spine-tingling spot. An enjoyable little item.
