'Dolls' (1986) - Stuart Gordon.


The much-loved Horror iconoclast Stuart Gordon's divinely twisted terror tale about the grisly goings on within the creepily isolated house of an aged, twinkle-eyed octogenarian couple, and the diminutive denizens of diabolical doom that luridly litter their crumbling mansion, ostensibly looking like a child's innocent toy collection, and in this wickedly warped witch house, what happens next is definitely not a fairy tale! Due to an especially tempestuous storm, a disparate group of rain-beleaguered travellers seek shelter in this alien abode, and finding their hospitable hosts initially so obliging, the bickering ill-matched couple, the delightfully cartoonish mockney New Wave tarts, an adorably imaginative, Teddy-towing tyke, and a naïve man-child proceed to have a very unsettling night, wherein only those pure of heart might, perhaps, survive the wrath of these devastatingly demonic dolls! While deceptively small, Stuart Gordon's singularly horrific horror film is perfectly deformed, and 'Dolls' will make a mannequin of you, being one of maestro Gordon's most inventively insane, eye-poppingly lurid nightmares, that once screamed, cannot be un-screamed!!!!!!
