Feels like it was made by a trio of monkeys with a $20 budget. Go to Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Jan 1, 2000

At some point Dolls remains only an idea, a concept. It doesn't become an engine to shock and involve us. Go to Full Review Jack E. Wilkinson United Press International Jun 15, 2026
A moderately spooky horror story about dolls that come alive at night and attack humans. Go to Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Sep 6, 2020

What works best is the assemblage of unnerving playthings scattered around the musty estate, just waiting for unwitting victims to cross their paths. Go to Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews May 23, 2020

Farah R @Farah Oct 9, 2026 Dolls is like an episode of a bad show that came out before your parents were even born. The bad effects aren’t charming and the acting is worse than reality TV. It’s not a campy low budget goodie from the 80s; it’s just plain bad. See more Robert P @Superbad Oct 5, 2026 Dolls = a *3* star Movie! See more Mitzi R @RT92134716 Aug 7, 2026 This is a gem of a film. It's in my top 10 and I've watched most horror films of the 80s and 90s. It was a first of its kind (murderous dolls), scary, surprising, even included a moral to the story. Should definitely be considered a cult classic. See more Stanny R @StannyMC Feb 28, 2026 Pleasantly surprised by this film, the effects look decent & the stop-motion looks shockingly good. Has that signature Charles Band lunacy and it makes for a charming, fun time. See more Mal R. @malmal2 Nov 7, 2025 Underrated. Doesn’t get the recognition it deserves See more Robson C @RT82519826 Oct 12, 2025 Um grupo de pessoas pede abrigo na casa de um construtor de brinquedos e sua esposa, devido à forte chuva que caía. Porém, a casa escondia os seus segredos. Para mim, Bonecas Macabras é um conto de fadas de terror gótico. Onde haverá uma moral a ser ensinada aos personagens e ao público. A construção de todo ambiente é muito bom e aquele monte de bonecas e brinquedos todos juntos desperta tanto o olhar infantil, como também o medo de achar que eles estão vigiando. O elenco serve para dar espaço para as bonecas. É um filme com um orçamento baixo, mas soube criar o ar de terror, além de não ter receio de usar de sangue. Uma pequena obra do terror, curta, mas eficiente na sua intenção. See more Read all reviews
