Highly Overrated But Still Good

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Blistering performances.

DEMONIC TOYS 2 is a massively lacklustre B-movie sequel from Full Moon Pictures. It was shot in Italy as a belated sequel to the original movie, but it makes even the Full Moon flicks of the 1990s look good by comparison. The story is hackneyed and long-winded, involving a bunch of random and boring bad actors assembling in an old castle, where once again they're stalked and slashed by a bunch of rather uninteresting living dolls. The production values are rock bottom here and the calibre of the effects is reminiscent of the 1980s, except not as good. Give it a miss.

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

The evil toys totally make this movie, there is something about them I really really like. If you don't like horror movies, b-movies and all that, then why you watching this movie? Of course you wont like it. However, this was a decently made low-budget movie.Other makers of low budget horror should really take note, this is how its done. A small cast, with actual characters, gore, one setting (the Italian castle).The acting wasn't that great, but what do you expect? This was a fun movie, and the plot with Devotello or whatever it was called, was cool. That and I just loved that killer baby!

Having seen movies like the "Puppet Master" series and "Doll Graveyard", I had little expectations to this movie, but I must say that I was disappointed."Demonic Toys 2" does not really manage to get up to the level of the previous work that Charles Band have made. There is just something about this movie that makes it impossible to really get into the groove of the movie.Perhaps it is the thin storyline or the effects. Or it could be the lack of new thinking to this movie.Now, the good parts of "Demonic Toys 2" were the characters in the movie. There was a variety of interesting characters, that sadly were not given enough time (or chance) to fully shine through on the screen. The actors and actresses portraying them did a fairly good job.The dolls were cool to look at, if you can overcome the fake way of their movements and the way they kill people. There is something very grimy and gritty to the dolls, and it works well. It gives them a dark and sinister appearance. Well, I have always liked the dolls in Band's movies.The effects were below average, and most often hilarious to look at.If Band went for the early 90's feel to this movie intentionally, then hats off to him, then he really managed to pull it off. This whole movie reeks of early 90's horror movies. From the way it was shot, to the storyline (or lack thereof), to the dialogue and to the location in which it was shot (you just got to love the purple sky).The movie just didn't really appeal that much to me. There was something important lacking from it, and I think this movie might actually have been scary (or somewhat scary) had it been released in the late 80's or early 90's.If you are a fan of the "Puppet Master" series and such similar movies, you should sit down to watch this one, but do not go into this experience with high expectations
