Directed by Re-Animator guru- Stuart Gordon, this 1987 supernatural horror has all the elements needed for a film that seems to combine Gremlins and Child's Play.
Plot: We begin with an inept and disinterested father, a stepmother- who wears 1920's garments and a 7 year old daughter (with what appears to be a were-wolf teddy bear) getting their car stuck in the mud in the English countryside. Looking for cover from the encroaching storm, the family break into an old house and seek shelter with the pensioners (toy makers) that reside within. Coincidentally, a pair of goth chicks and another american (Stephen Lee- Dark Angel) also find haven in the mansion. The goths' seem to fancy a touch of robbery, the parents seem happy to neglect their daughter and the other american is a not so grown up kid. Miffed at the thefts and general lack of respect shown by the house guests, the dolls of the house seek retribution in their own inimitable style.
Note; don't mess with dolls brandishing saws.
Budget: $?
Gross: $?
Fun Fact: Music by Fuzzbee Morse. The film was shot in Italy and released a full two years after. A sequel was touted for a while, but never materialized.
