I saw Dolls many years ago when movies were still on VHS tapes rather than DVD. Dolls was fun from the get-go, it had the perfect atmosphere, a creepy elderly couple that live in a spooky old mansion. Then there are the unwary travelers, some people that get stuck and seek shelter from a thunderstorm. The storm lends even more atmosphere to the spooky old house where our intrepid group ended up. But as good as the actors were, the real scares came from the dolls themselves. The scenes where the dolls actually start coming to life are really quite frightening. There are a couple of very intense scenes, especially one with a teddy bear. This would be a great film to watch late at night with the lights turned low. It is a pity that they don't make these kind of films anymore, scary and fun to watch with good solid acting and storyline. There have been an effort to make film with a similar theme such as Chucky, Dolly Dearest, Puppet Master and Dead Silence but films such as Saw and Hostel seem to be the more popular in the horror genre today.
