By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The acting in this movie is really good.

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

I am a big fan of Full Moon, I think one of the best examples of a fun B-horror movie is anything made by Charles Band, especially his older stuff. I haven't seen a whole lot of Full Moon's more recent movies, but from what I've read, Full Moon seems to have gone way downhill. Now, I didn't think Doll Graveyard was bad, it wasn't great but it certainly wasn't terrible either.I didn't notice a whole lot wrong with this movie except for the characters. For one, most of them are annoying and unlikeable, and second, the killers are all dolls, no bigger than your average doll either, and everyone acts like their being attacked by man-eating dragons. There was one part in the movie where one of the girls tries to hit one of the dolls from across the room when she could have very easily just walked over and kicked him. There are a few parts in the movie like this.Oh yeah, the ending...SPOILERS HEREWell they bury the dolls hoping that the evil spirit will be released from them... well, actually they just put them in the hole. You think they would bury them but nope they just stand there and stare at them.END OF SPOILERSOver all this was a decent but disappointing entry in Full Moon's rapidly growing collection of killer doll movies. Especially since earlier the same day I watched Ragdoll, another Full Moon killer doll movie, which kicks the crap out of this one.

Okay, let's start with they did wrong in this movie. 1, it's too short at around 1 hour and 11 minutes. I think more could have been done with the neighbors or something like that. 2, I'm not a fan of the bully character, I think he should have stomped a few feet and locked himself in a room and called the cops and 3, the climax falls a little flat, without giving it away. That's what he did wrong, what he did right. I love the new doll monster characters, the Guy character reminds me of me in some ways. The effects are great, it's good to see Charles Band back in the director's chair where he belongs. The story works for the most part, just short. All and all 8 STARS.

I thought they stopped making movies like this in the 80's, but apparently not. Imagine the worst of the Chucky movies, and then imagine something even worse, then you're getting close to this one.The movie starts in 1911 with a girl playing with dolls, then she accidentally breaks a vase. Her evil and angry father comes down the stairs and yells at her. She is then forced to bury her beloved dolls, and then she accidentally falls down in the grave on the samurai doll's katana(sword) and she dies... Then we are brought to present time and the horror unravels! Sounds bad? Believe me, it is!The production gives me this "made for TV movie" feel, with cheesy music, bad direction, etc. The dolls aren't even close to being scary, more humorous than anything. Avoid this movie.
