Demonic Toys: Personal Demons (2010)

SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Let's be realistic.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

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.

This is one of the scariest movies I have seen. 3.9 is underrating it. It is a 10. Demonic Toys is a little scarier. But still this is a very scary movie. I do not know why people do like it. I do not care that people do not like it. They do not have to like it. But I do not agree. If you like really scary movies you should see this movie. It is a very scary movie. If it does not scary you no movie will. This is very scary. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has good special effects. I have to say I do not see anything wrong with this movie. Other then it is not really better then Demonic toys. But I do not think it is possible to top Demonic toys. This is a great movie see it.

Arriving at an ancient Italian castle, a professor and his staff attempting to document the findings with a group of antiquities experts finds they have released a series of dolls possessed by an evil, demonic energy and must race to find a way out alive.This here was a decent enough if slightly flawed effort. One of the main elements going for this one is the fact that there's quite a large amount of Gothic atmosphere found here in the main location as this one really lets the castle location come through quite nicely. This features all the usual grand set-pieces and designs that come about here through the location taking place here, from the scenes of them wandering about the castle going for the various rooms and settings featured here while taking full advantage of material that can be attempted here with the elaborate, ornate decorations, candelabra- lit rooms, secret passageways and much more that makes this one quite a bit more fun than it really should be putting the Gothic set-pieces into the hunting grounds for the toys. With the discovery of the different rooms featured within here, especially the torture chamber and the exorcism vault that are found here, they make for a great place here which gives the dolls a spectacular place to hunt, generating the great stalking scenes in the basement where they take out the cheating couple or in the big bedroom against the one unaware loner who gets tormented beforehand with all the various sights and sounds of them appearing before the final kill which is quite impressive and enjoyable. Once they finally reveal themselves here which comes at the end of the big seance sequence which itself is a fantastic highlight offering with the flashing lights, demonic voices and the overall resolution of the main plot line being revealed to them, this one readily picks up the action and becomes a thrilling, suspenseful series of chasing through the bowels of the castle trying to fight them off in order to get away which makes for a fine finish here. These here make this one quite fun and enjoyable, though it does have a few quite detrimental issues. The main one here is the fact that the film's rather long periods of time here without the dolls being a part of the film, letting the exploration of the castle and their eccentricities take over the large portion of time here in the first half so they don't get really unleashed to knock people off until the later half. That it all for the better here, with the doll effects being quite substandard and really silly looking, barely featuring enough here to look like they're committing the crimes and just making it very obvious they're dolls. It's the biggest thing that holds this one back, alongside the bland pacing.Rated R: Graphic Language and Graphic Violence.

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.
