Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch
XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
a_baron This is not so much a sequel as part of a franchise. Instead of having a lone damsel being terrified, tormented and tortured by a mysterious psychopath, we start with four "contestants" - two male and two female. They are secreted in an isolated luxury cabin and told the one who survives until the end will win a million dollars with a lot more and fame to follow. It is fair to say that none of the group expected the word survive to be taken too literally, and one by one they are picked off.The plot is fairly predictable, especially if you are unfortunate enough to have seen the previous offering, but sadism, gratuitous maiming and murder can only carry any film so far. The real tragedy of "Playing With Dolls..." is that the man behind it has missed his true vocation; Rene Perez also composed and performed its vastly superior soundtrack.
jtimmccormick-05352 This was an okay B-horror movie until the end. There was no END. There was a STOP. The action just stopped in the middle of the climactic scene! So, this movie is a huge piece of crap, and no one should invest ANY of their valuable time on it!!!
Nigel P Sometimes, when there is a lack of budget, infusing a film with a sense of dark humour can compensate. It seems to me that director/writer Rene Perez embraces this and never lets his production take itself too seriously. This filters through to the actors too, who may not be truly convincing, but seem to be enjoying themselves, and that enjoyment is somewhat infectious.The storyline is also suitably odd. A group of four financially embarrassed wannabes are brought together to take part in a reality television show in an expansive shack in the middle of a deep forest with no internet, and no signal for cell phones. As the gravel-voiced hostess announces, it is best not to set fire to the house, as there will be no-one remotely near to put it out. What would health and safety say? And yet, there is someone watching, a chain-smoking, well-dressed millionaire type (played by Richard Tyson), who observes all from a variety of cameras dotted about the place.This is the sequel to 'Playing with Dolls (2015)', also spearheaded by Perez and starring Tyson alongside Natasha Blasick. A further instalment, 'Playing with Dolls: Havoc' was released in 2017.Back to this, and the two star-struck females Stina (Karin Brauns) and Nico (Elonda Seawood) are quite clearly hired for their physical (and surgically enhanced) looks, but then, if this really was a reality show, then that would be true to form. The girls are empty-headed but quite likeable. The killer, who appears not be an actor, but a real murderer - in which case, do the producers know this? - pops up from time to time and dispatches people and bizarrely, remains unseen by the rest.The further we get into this, the less I understand it. Here's a spoiler: Trina, the last survivor, is told she has won the prize of a million dollars. What does she think has happened to the others? Clearly she's not bothered! Sadly, no-one seems to have told the killer, who ties her up and begins to torture her in some pretty grisly scenes - after which, he gives her a hearty pat on the shoulder!Colin Bryant, who is hugely built, plays Magnus, the hero. In another spoiler, he hasn't perished after all and he and Stina elect to fight the masked killer. A couple of minutes into the scrap, watched by Tyson ... the end credits roll! Is this a cliff-hanger or did they just run out of money?Despite the head-melting incomprehensibility of it all, I really rather enjoyed this. The direction is good, the masked killer looks formidable and there are some very gory moments. The weirdness of it all convinced me to keep watching to see what would happen next. A project that relishes its own oddness.
ffsviljoen This is by far the worst movie I have ever seen, from start to ending. I don't see how this could have been released in the first place. I hope this isn't going to set the trend for horror movies in 2016. Me and a bunch of my friends could have made a better movie in our back yard loll! Just how bad is it? Well take it like this....... I have never written a comment or review about a movie before. no matter how good or bad a movie is. But in this case, I just can't contain my disgust, it's just that bad, don't watch it. Iv'e never been so upset about having wasted my time before. unbelievable. Sheez. I also feel sorry for the actors in this movie, if they thought this was going to make them famous.
