 2.5-I don't see this as Chucky in a dress more like the Doll version of the "Exorcist"., November 6, 2008
I don't know this movie was a bit of joke to me. I mean if you can get past the cheesy special effects, you will probably be blocked again by the acting. At least it runs the spectrum - there is over acting, under acting and just plain bad acting. Who (s) is responsible for this...the Read family. They sinks their entire life savings into the pipe dream of Elliot Read (Sam Bottoms) to have the best little doll manufacturing plant ever. His hopes are dashed however as he and his kids visit the "state of the art" plant which has apparently been closed down for years since the original doll maker died. Apparently his real estate agent copied some impressive figures from an American Business book for all of the financials on the company. Really, hasn't Elliot ever heard of researching an investment? Maybe visit the plant you are going to buy? br /br /On the first visit to the factory, little Jessica Read (Candy Hutson) sets her heart on one of the dolls and Dad lets her take it home. Jimmy Read (Chris Demetral) is immediately fascinated by the archeological dig next door to the doll factory. As the film progresses, Jessica becomes more and more obsessed with Dolly. Mom, Marilyn Read (Denise Crosby) begins to get worried when Jessica threatens her in a demonic voice that she will kill her if she tries to take Dolly away. br /br /'Dolly Dearest' is not that great and it's a bit long and drawn out between the action sequences. Again, what it lacks in the acting department and initial special effects it partially makes up for with Dolly herself. When Dolly starts to mess with the Read family she gets quite animated and evil. She actually kind of freaked me out at times but I am probably not a good judge in this department because evil dolls just really spook me in general. The only saving grace in the acting department is the small part of the archeologist Karl Resnick (Rip Torn). They really should have used Rip Torn more. He is just fun to watch on the screen. I thought the end of the film the writers just kind of gave up. Not a very original or believable ending to Dolly's reign of terror. If you do see this just don't expect too much. br /br /Instead of this I highly recommend "Dolls" the core reason for my fright of Dolls back then. br /
 A PRETTY DECENT FILM October 26, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Arriving in Mexico, Elliot Read, (Sam Bottoms) and his family, wife Marilyn, (Denise Crosby) and children Jimmy, (Chris Demetral) and Jessica, (Candace Hutson) plan on starting the production of the Dolly Dearest Toy Factory. While they are exploring the site, Jessica becomes fascinated with a collection of dolls and takes one home with her. As she drags the doll with her everywhere she goes, Marilyn begins to worry about her and her unhealthy obsession. They find that the locals believe there's a strange curse on the land, and start to become suspicious when they start mysteriously disappearing. When archaeologist Karl Resnick, (Rip Torn) arrives in town to check on nearby ruins, he begins to search through the remains and finds a small tomb belonging to a long-lost tribe. Realizing that the curse is transforming the dolls into killing machines that are killing everyone around them, they race to stop the curse and the dolls.br /br /The Good News: This here wasn't all that bad when it wanted to. One of the best features is the fact that the film really plays up the mystery of the doll. The film does a great job of making sure that the tribe may or may not be the cause of the curse. There's a big debate over whether the doll is behind the problems or the site itself. Even though it's fairly obvious, there's a real effort to play up the opposite angle, with the switch of the tribe responsible to the revelations of what the tribe was about. This is a nicely handled idea that really could've failed, since it's a red herring to an obvious reason, but that it even comes as anything sort of credible is a nice plus. When it wants to, this has a lot of great moments in here. One of the most impressive is a great sequence where a victim is found killed. Almost immediately, there's a supernatural presence involved in the house, blowing out windows and hurling furniture around. It's done during a violent thunderstorm as well, making it seem just that much more creepy. Then there's the final, lasting image of the sequence that is a really haunting vibe. There's a great action-packed conclusion that really brings some fun and life into the film with some hair-rising stunts and a pretty frantic pace. The doll itself is quite freaky and manages to evoke a big air of menace when it's on-screen. These all make the film watchable.br /br /The Bad News: There's not a whole lot wrong with this one. One of the biggest is that the film takes an awful long time to get going. There's a good forty minutes before anything freaky occurs with the doll, and with it being so long, much of the beginning is set-up around the family moving in and settling to their surroundings. That's kind of a long time to show a bunch of nothing. It also takes a little while before it starts to get interesting, despite possibly going for several possibly interesting variations along the way. This also seems to be classified as a slasher, when it's not even close to one. The body count barely registers at all, the doll isn't the focus for much of the film and it's got hardly any other slasher film characteristics. This is pretty far from an actual slasher, which it really could've been quite easily been. The general premise is right there for it to be one, yet it strangely doesn't play out as such despite being targeted for slasher fans. The only other part of this that doesn't really work is that there's a real solid display of stupidity present in many of the people in the film. There's tons of scenes that clearly show something's wrong with any of the people, yet it's just simply dismissed out of hand, despite there being a good amount of evidence to the contrary. It's quite distracting and really manages to bring this down.br /br /The Final Verdict: While it's got a fair share of good and bad qualities, in the end this falls right square into the realm of watchable without being extraordinary. Slasher fans might be disappointed by the mis-marketing, but it's still got enough positive points for those curious to give it a viewing.
 Dolly Dearest was the best horror movie I have ever seen December 20, 2003
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This was always one of my favorite killer doll movies since I was 12. The first time I watched it, I thought it was so great,brand I kept renting it out continously.pSoon, when I was 15, I wanted to buy this movie I bought it, because, of it's scares, laughs, suspense gore.pYou must remember that you must understand Dolly Dearest enough in order to buy it. And, there are more Dolly Dearest movie make overs for all of the Dolly Dearest freaks out there. They are: Dolly Dearest (1985), Dolly Dearest (1990), Dolly Dearest (1992) Dolly Dearest: Bloodbath (1996) that was a good one.pSo go on buy this movie!!!!!!
