About
If you want a dark, atmospheric killer-doll fairy tale with creepy visuals and plenty of unease, Dolls fits the mood; Not for you if you want a straightforward slasher, or if you dislike haunted toy horror like Child's Play or Puppet Master.
Pros: creepy haunted mansion; memorable eerie dolls; dark fairy-tale vibe | Cons: some comedy uneven; characters can feel annoying; plot feels hard to follow
