Child's Play
People. PEOPLE. Back when I was an uncorrupted young high-schooler, my idea of an awesome Friday night was renting really bad horror movies with my friends and hosting our own version of Mystery Science Theater 3000. (Actually, that is still my idea of an awesome Friday night. Except with beer.) Anyway, we were always on the hunt for new and more wretched filmic atrocities to inflict upon ourselves, so imagine mine and Stella’s delight one night when we found, tucked away in an obscure corner of Action Video, the cinematic abortion that is Dollman vs. the Demonic Toys. I mean, just from the title, we knew it was going to be horrible-by which I mean, of course, totally freaking brilliant-and oh, we were not disappointed. I have never seen a more entertainingly awful movie in my entire life. The opening line was-I shit you not-“It can be a cold world out there…when you’re only twelve inches tall.” AND IT ONLY GOT MORE AWESOME FROM THERE. We were actually rendered speechless by its terrible glory-well, or we couldn’t talk because we were laughing so hard the whole time. You know how it goes.
Anyway, I haven’t heard or seen anything about this movie for nearly ten years. I almost forgot about it entirely, until I was browsing Amazon today and found this. Holy crap you guys-it is A BOX SET. OF DOLLMAN. AND THE DEMONIC TOYS. That’s just…GENIUS.
(And wow, I had NO IDEA that movie was made in 1993. I pegged it for sure as a ‘70s B-movie.)
ETA: It seems the evil masterminds who brought us Dollman’s epic battle against Baby Oopsy-Daisy (not kidding) are still out there-and they’ve been very, very busy. (Not terribly work-safe.) I could spend hours poking around there.
