Most awful and un-scary 'horror' film ever


This movie was so dumb, I didn't even bother to watch it to the end, and what made it worse was the annoying chick from Pet Sematary was in it, playing almost the exact same part.

The Doll was pathetically unreal and the storyline was awful, and can someone please explain to me why Rip Torn? I love him as an actor, he's awesome but this was one movie I felt he should not have been a part of. By the way I don't really care if anyone agrees with me or not, I'm just expressing an opinion, I don't want to argue with anyone.

Why must close-minded people always open their mouths?

It has that 1992 feel to it, lewl.

ok, so it's not theatrical genius, but I LOVE cheesy, funny horror movies. You haven't seen dumb, unreal, or boring until you've seen Doll Graveyard... I just rented that movie, hoping that it would be half as great as Dolly Dearest... o man, was I wrong. Don't waste your money...

I have to say that if this was the "most awful and un-scary 'horror' film" that you have ever seen, then you are seriously sheltered from the wide world of crappy cheesy horror films that are out there. I'm not saying that this movie was good, that it was scary, or that I would even recommend it... but come on. For one, take any movie that they've ever turned into an MST3K... there's a reason they choose them. Judgement Day... now that is a fine not scary flick and whoa the cast.

I have to laugh at you calling the doll pathetically unreal. Have you seen a movie with a "real" demon doll? If so, I'd like to know about it. Also, I'd like to know who your psychiatrist is so he or she can hook me up with whatever you're taking.

I take offense to your ripping on Denise and calling her the annoying chick from Pet Sematary. If anything, she's the annoying chick from Star Trek TNG. And finally, Rip Torn. I love him too. Why would he do this? The same reason Brad Pitt did Mr and Mrs Smith and Dark Side of the Sun. And the same reason Sean Connery did Highlander II... apparently nothing better to do?

Anyway, thanks for posting, gave me something to do at 4:15 am

I don't get why you're ripping on Denise Crosby, of all people. She and the Mexican architect were the only half decent actors in the film. Regardless, the movie is still terrible. Seems like the filmmakers couldn't decide whether they wanted an Exorcist knockoff or another killer doll movie.

"Manos: The Hands of Fate" is much, much worse than this film.

It is not "the worst", but yeah, very dumb and uscary.

Boycott movies that involve real animal violence! (and their directors too)
