Rent Dolls (2019)

Once is enough! - Dolls review by JB

I can't believe this film was made in 2019, the effects were poor and I have seen better on the Horror channel. I would not have wasted my time on putting this in my Movie list if I knew how bad it was going to be. Nothing scary and poor all round viewing.

Doll horror that occasionally packs a punch ... - Dolls review by NP

This is a fairly enjoyable, restrained horror story which employs a very creepy, well thought-out reason for the little figures and their violent tendencies. It also features a range of characters who remain pretty unlikeable throughout. It should be said though, that the daughter Sammey’s sassy attitude is genuinely hilarious at times, and Trinity Simpson’s delivery completely sells it. Precocious and potty-mouthed she might be, but she frequently raises a smile.

Dolls are notoriously difficult to make frightening, especially on a low budget. I do feel the scares are too infrequent, but they do occasionally pack a punch. My score is 7 out of 10.
