... View MoreA terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

... View MoreTracking criminals to an abandoned warehouse, a pregnant cop finds that their spilled blood has inadvertently released a horde of demonically-possessed toys killing off several stragglers in order to allow their master to live again and forces her to find a way of stopping their plans.This one here was quite the enjoyable and fun Full Moon killer doll classic. What really gives this one quite a lot to like here is the fact that it really works the film's atmosphere and location quite well, managing to give this a solid and engaging amount of suspense present in an inherently cheesy premise. Using the singular location of the warehouse to great effect in the first half where she's stalking them trying to arrest him unaware of the situation before the dolls come to life makes for a strong set-up and a rather engaging premise that gets exploited throughout the remaining parts of the film by taking the regular stalking of the early sections and pairing that with the more supernaturally-based interaction in the remainder of this one. The dolls themselves get a great first appearance, knocking out and taking care of the security guard when they find them inside the warehouse which is a great scene as well as the multitude of toys taking them on in the vents into the security shack which is a highly enjoyable and chilling battle with all of them swarming over and fighting the both of them. That this leads into the strong main battle at the end with the whole store full of toys coming to life under his possession and leading into the main attack there results in plenty of fun, explosive thrills with them battling off the multitude of creatures in big, fun gun- battles is where this one really works and becomes a series of grand action set-pieces with the dolls coming after them and finally getting the big ending confrontation between the two black magic powers in the sacrificial altar that features some great cheesy action featured here. With plenty to like here with the dolls and the effects work needed to bring them to life, there's even more good fun here which is letting this one's main premise get exploited in the the dolls and different creatures brought to help the struggle, and adding in the gruesome, bloody deaths gives this one a lot of enjoyable elements found here. These are enough to make this one quite a bit of fun and has plenty to like overall, but it does have one main flaw to be found here in the overly fantastical plot line that features the spirit child continually interacting and spelling out his goal for her in mild dream-like manners which are somewhat comical to think that a child speaking in an altered demonic voice is supposed to be scary as well as bringing the film to a halt in order to get the motivation out which is such a change- of-pace that it sticks out quite easily. Likewise, the special effects are a little cheesy and might be a bit outdated, but otherwise it's the weird fantasy elements in the backstory that holds this one down.Rated R: Extreme Graphic Language, Graphic Violence and Brief Nudity.

View MoreOf course being low budget you are not going to have great special effects but the plot line is actually very original and i haven't seen much like it before.The acting is very entertaining and the horror keeps you intrigued. It all starts when a female cop and her male partner go under cover to engage in a drug trade resulting in the male cop being murdered. The women chases after the man into a toy warehouse where a demon was buried after he died 66 years ago. (The women is pregnant with the polices mans baby.) The toys come to life as they are being possessed by the demon who takes the life of young boy. You are often referred back to a dream where there are 2 boys who are playing war this is very important part of the film to remember. The demon wants to be born through a human life as he woman cop was taken there on a destined journey. This is definitely a must see. Very entertaining!
... View MoreAn evil 66-year-old boy spirit (a creepy portrayal by Daniel Cerny) with the power to bring toys to life gets awakened and searches for a new body to inhabit. Tough lady cop Judith Gray (a pleasingly feisty performance by the stunning Tracy Scoggins) and several others find themselves trapped in a warehouse with the pernicious brat. Director Peter Manoogian, working from a compact and engrossing script by David S. Goyer, relates the absorbing story at a steady pace, stages the action and attack set pieces with real skill and aplomb, treats the absurd premise with admirable seriousness, delivers a handy helping of graphic gore, and further spruces things up with a very nasty sense of wickedly amusing black humor. The solid acting by the competent cast helps a lot, with especially praiseworthy work from Bentley Mitchum as sarcastic slacker fast food delivery guy Mark Wayne, Michael Russo as ruthless scumbag criminal Lincoln, Ellen Dunning as scrappy teenage runaway Anne, and Peter Schrum as grumpy security guard Charnetski. The nifty array of killer toys adds immensely to the twisted entertainment value: a giant teddy bear (!), a robot, a jack in the box, and a foul-mouthed baby doll. Busty blonde babe Kristine Rose provides some skin as hot pin-up Miss July. Adlfo Bartoli's impressively polished cinematography makes fine use of a smoothly gliding Steadicam, boasts lots of cool tilted camera angles, and even offers a little stylized slow motion. Richard Band's shivery score does the spine-tingling trick. A really fun piece of blithely trashy junk.
... View MoreFor a bad movie, this really isn't so bad, especially if you take into consideration the standards of Charles Band's Full Moon Pictures during the direct-to-video horror wave of the early 1990s. Model and sci-fi TV actress Traci Scoggins is a police detective on the trail of illegal arms dealers as her partner/lover is gunned down in a showdown in a toy warehouse. Little does she know that an evil demon in the form of a child has lured her there so that she can give birth to the nasty spirit through her unborn offspring. Along for the ride is chicken delivery boy Bentley Mitchum (Robert Mitchum's grandson), an unsuspecting security guard and teenage runaway who fall victim to the animated toys that are possessed by the demonic forces.This combines elements from 'Child's Play' and 'Puppet Master', but is mostly played for unintentional or intentional laughs as 'Baby Oopsie Daisy (a hilarious cussing baby doll), a cursed jack-in-the-box (that suspiciously resembles the 'Killer Clowns From Outer Space'), a toy robot that fires deadly blue lights, a teddy bear that grows into a giant monstrosity, and a multitude of other perilous playthings hunt down the cast through the ventilation ducts and storage rooms all the while getting poor Traci ready for her birth of the anti-Christ or whatever. The cast is pretty competent here as they seem to be taking this nonsense seriously, and assistant director Peter Manoogian decides to take this one on his own quite imaginatively. This focuses on action throughout, so its not such a chore to sit through. One could do a lot worse for late-night entertainment.
