A complete shift for Stuart Gordon from his work on Re-Animator a couple of years earlier, but equally as bonkers. It packs in a fair helping of gore, but still feels weirdly family friendly. Perhaps this is due to the lead child character, played by a great Carrie Lorraine. The supporting cast manages to be a selection of likable, and equally unlikable characters. Highlights for me are the creepy but oddly wholesome, if slightly murderous, older couple who inhabit the house that the narrative takes place in, played by Guy Rolfe and Hilary Mason.
As mentioned, the practical work is incredible. The dolls' movements are kept hidden for a lot of the runtime, but when you see them in all their glory just over the halfway mark, the pay off is completely worth it.
Dolls is hugely memorable in all the right ways. A hidden gem of a horror.

As a father with two monsters of my own who love sharkboy & Lavagirl they watched this before me and edged me to watch it with them...
Anyway, graphics continued from SB&LG was an appreciated touch as million dollar graphics don't always make the movie (although they help) a random casting with cute but weak acting and a plot unworthy of it's predecessor, we can be heroes is a nostalgic walk down memory lane that is both family friendly, fun (at least were the adult heroes are involved) and is more like a preschool edition of Disney's Sky High movie.
Best thing about the movie was the return of original Lavagirl actress Taylor dooley.
Appreciate the effort by Netflix, but maybe something more for the original fans next time around.
Plot: children of heroes attempt to rescue captured parents from an "evil" alien invasion ......or something like that.
