AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

LouHomey From my favorite movies..

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

areatw I should have known better than to watch another low-budget indie horror film like this... for every good one there's 10 that aren't worth your time or money, and this is one of them. Whilst I've seen far worse, this was seriously boring, extremely bland and for a horror movie, rather tame.The first few scenes are promising but ultimately the movie fades into yet another generic, forgettable horror film that has already been done hundreds of times before. The acting isn't great (but that's hardly a surprise) and the plot is weak and lacks conviction - it felt like a half-hearted attempt at coming up with a scary story.Very few positives and plenty of flaws. 'Worry Dolls' is nothing new and exactly the sort of film you'll forget you even watched within a few days of viewing.

Nigel P Opening with a promisingly bloody scenario of serial killer Henry murmuring his unstable anxieties into his slight collection of 'worry dolls', this film soon evaporates into comparative blandness. That's the problem with strong beginnings – the rest has then got to match up.Detective Matt who finally rids the world of Henry for some reason takes the 'worry dolls' with him in the back of his car. Why do something so unprofessional? So his young daughter Chloe can then inadvertently get hold of them, of course.'OMG, they're so coowaal', say the brightly smiling young things browsing 'Chloe's Collection' where she exhibits these and other home-made charms. Sadly, the spirit of Henry, instilled into these novelty items, causes whomever owns them to lose their minds and kill their loved ones.Chloe, who is afraid of dogs, stabs to death her family's Doberman (why does the family keep such a pet if the daughter is afraid of them?). She then, Exorcist-like, descends into a blank-eyed trance. Hunky Detective Matt seeks the help of occultist Della who says that as the pure innocent, Chloe needs to be relieved of the dolls – even though they are no longer in her possession. Della is played by Tina Lifford, who invests the part with such weird intensity, she may well be the most interesting character in the film. A shame that her inclusion is such a brief one.The rest of the cast, sad to say, including Christopher Wiehl as Matt (who co-wrote this) are not very interesting at all. It's impossible to sympathise with the Detective, whose daughter is, after all, possessed, because there is scant personality there. Likewise other characters, including those who pick up the various dolls and are therefore doomed fail to ignite much feelings of loss. Also, the suburban blandness of most of the locations stifles any atmosphere. A competent thriller with a few gallons of blood thrown in for good measure.

drk-96503 Single point and one line story. Universal phenomenon.. Very common point.. Not well written Not well executed. Not creepy. No jumps.. No Gore.. No horror. Story just goes on like that. Its like Tom and Jerry.. You know tom hates Jerry and Jerry hates tom..its similar kind of movie.You can understand from the scene one what happens next. nothing unpredictable.. Every scene will be our cup of tea. If really have nothing to do then only watch this movie or even better if you ignore this..I hate simple kind of Horror flicks. One can search and can watch movies like Dabbie. Exorcist.. Horror means honestly must be true horror.. not just like a makeup kind of movies..Don't need to lipstick for creating Gore on screen.

ASouthernHorrorFan Padraig Reynolds keeps with the same visual and directing style that played out in rural community horror fashion in "Rites Of Spring". That whole small town lives with their super evil occult issues. "Worry Dolls" doesn't quite give as exciting and well developed story the way his debut feature gives, but it keeps with a familiar creepy cult, black magic motif. Except in this story the occult, supernatural is more developed and defined. With "Rites Of Spring" it was a more subtle hint to the Sowing Season with more pagan inspiration. "Worry Dolls" is a wicked, and paranormal curse nightmare that gives good deadpan mixed with American Gothic flare. Unfortunately the suspense and energy is very low when it comes to getting the story off the ground. The emotion and atmosphere are their but the direction and character drama just never gets up there to meet this great, and chillingly good slice of occult horror. The cast give good performances, but compared to "Rites Of Spring", "Worry Dolls" feels more Charles Band than Ti West, not that that is a bad thing, just saying compared to films similar to "Worry Dolls" like "House Of The Devil" and "Nothing To Fear". Now the special effects are beasts of another Hell! The blood splatter, and brutality was great, visceral slices of awesome. The opening scene honestly, I felt like I needed to go check to make sure no blood splashed on me. Great scene. I enjoyed all the horror scenes with the blunt, brutal deaths. Blood, blood, blood, every kill was crimson. The sound effects, and the musical score weren't as memorable as the special effects, but they do their job to keep the pace and attitude of "Worry Dolls" dark, and sinister. And the creature effects, although more like Haunted Attraction level artistry, created some freaky, evil faces. Overall, "Worry Dolls" is a bit disappointing, especially when comparing it to Reynolds' first film, but does have some cool stuff happening throughout the film. You will find yourself wondering on to other things during the long character building scenes. Still just when you feel you drifted too far a brutal, blood staining event takes place and snaps you back into the depth of the horror in "Worry Dolls:" Definitely check this one out if you are keen to Padraig Reynolds style, I liked enough about the film based on concept and kills to wanna add it to my collection. But take note that the horror vibe doesn't really have full strength through the whole film, like the thrills, it comes and goes.
