Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Blistering performances.

I quite enjoyed the first Demonic Toys movie for what it was: a knowingly silly horror romp in which the titular terrors go on a rampage, killing people trapped in a toy warehouse. This sequel (number four in the series, but a direct follow-on from the first movie) sees the return of Jack-in-a-box clown Jack Attack and demonic doll Baby Whoopsie, who are joined by Divoletto, an ugly, evil clockwork figure sought after by collector Dr. Lorca (apparently a character from Charles Band's Hideous!, which I have yet to see).Demonic Toys: Personal Demons is nowhere near as much fun as the original film: it's as though the makers found their location first (an old Italian castle), dusted off their dolls, hired a cast desperate enough to appear in such trash, and - lastly - tried (not too hard) to come up with something remotely resembling a story. A coherent plot definitely wasn't high on the priority list: it's a load of stuff and nonsense that features, among others, demonic possession, a seance, a haunted painting, and a gateway to hell - a grab-bag of clichés clumsily thrown together by writer/director William Butler.An unconvincing CGI decapitation is, disappointingly, the best moment; the low points are many, but the possession of a psychic midget is possibly the worst.N.B. Jane Wiedlin of The Go-Go's provided the voice for Baby Whoopsie.

Arriving at an ancient Italian castle, a professor and his staff attempting to document the findings with a group of antiquities experts finds they have released a series of dolls possessed by an evil, demonic energy and must race to find a way out alive.This here was a decent enough if slightly flawed effort. One of the main elements going for this one is the fact that there's quite a large amount of Gothic atmosphere found here in the main location as this one really lets the castle location come through quite nicely. This features all the usual grand set-pieces and designs that come about here through the location taking place here, from the scenes of them wandering about the castle going for the various rooms and settings featured here while taking full advantage of material that can be attempted here with the elaborate, ornate decorations, candelabra- lit rooms, secret passageways and much more that makes this one quite a bit more fun than it really should be putting the Gothic set-pieces into the hunting grounds for the toys. With the discovery of the different rooms featured within here, especially the torture chamber and the exorcism vault that are found here, they make for a great place here which gives the dolls a spectacular place to hunt, generating the great stalking scenes in the basement where they take out the cheating couple or in the big bedroom against the one unaware loner who gets tormented beforehand with all the various sights and sounds of them appearing before the final kill which is quite impressive and enjoyable. Once they finally reveal themselves here which comes at the end of the big seance sequence which itself is a fantastic highlight offering with the flashing lights, demonic voices and the overall resolution of the main plot line being revealed to them, this one readily picks up the action and becomes a thrilling, suspenseful series of chasing through the bowels of the castle trying to fight them off in order to get away which makes for a fine finish here. These here make this one quite fun and enjoyable, though it does have a few quite detrimental issues. The main one here is the fact that the film's rather long periods of time here without the dolls being a part of the film, letting the exploration of the castle and their eccentricities take over the large portion of time here in the first half so they don't get really unleashed to knock people off until the later half. That it all for the better here, with the doll effects being quite substandard and really silly looking, barely featuring enough here to look like they're committing the crimes and just making it very obvious they're dolls. It's the biggest thing that holds this one back, alongside the bland pacing.Rated R: Graphic Language and Graphic Violence.

Okay, I'm a fan of Charles Band and his company Full Moon, my favorite is Puppet Master and Demonic Toys so I was more than happy to check this one out. So me and my younger brothers which are also fans of the original decided to check this out last night, but sadly we were disappointed. This movie was awful but not in a good way. The original Demonic toys was a low budget cheesy movie but it delivered a good amount of fun and really kept you entertained despite the bad acting n lack of plot. This movie on the other hand it didn't quite deliver the fun, all this movie seem to deliver to me, is a good amount of boredom. I literally found myself doing something else than watching the movie. But i really think that's the fault of the pacing of the movie because it's really slow, we really seem to spend more time with the Human characters of the movie, that's never really a bad thing but they don't add anything to the movie except wonder around a castle for what seems like forever. So when finally get to the demonic toys they aren't anything special because compared to the original they really cheap and the voice of Baby Oopsite Daisy gets annoying after a while. So as a Demonic toys fan like I stated above it was a big disappointment I'm actually really ashamed of myself for buying the DVD

A motley assortment of folks gather together to inspect an ancient evil puppet at a rundown castle. Naturally, said puppet and two other equally wicked toys come to murderous life. Writer/director William Butler relates the fun story at a swift pace, makes the most out of the sprawling old castle location, and delivers a generous sprinkling of graphic gore. The freaky dolls are genuinely grotesque and amusing, with the foul-mouthed Baby Whoopsie (voiced with cheerfully profane aplomb by Jane Wiedlan of the Go-Gos fame!) a total nasty and vulgar hoot throughout. A spooky séance set piece provides a definite highlight while the special effects are funky and colorful. The cast have a ball with the blithely trashy material: the fetching Alli Kinzel gives a charming and spirited turn the sweet and chipper Caitlin, Michael Citriniti slimes it up nicely as sleazy creep Dr. Lorca, the gorgeous Elizabeth Bell bitches it up delightfully as the sexy, but snippy Lauraline, and Leslie Jordan is a whiny riot as the effeminate Professor Butterfield. Terrance Reicher's slick cinematography gives the picture a pleasing glossy look. The shivery score by Richard Band and Kenny Meriedeth hits the spine-tingling spot. An enjoyable little item.
