DEMONIC TOYS

Demonic Toys Movie Review

A policewoman officer (Tracy Scoggins) chases a couple criminals into an old building that houses retired toys. Joined by a security guard and chicken joint delivery guy, she finds herself in battle with, you guessed it, demonic toys. If you know anything about this movie, or even if you don’t and you just read my brief description, you may be thinking to yourself “This is a rip-off of the Puppet Master series”, and you would be right—there’s even a couple clips from Puppet Master II playing on the guard’s television—but I guess that’s okay, since both were brought to us by Full Moon. Years later, there would even be a crossover movie featuring characters from both movies, but we won’t go that deep down the rabbit hole.

As much as Mr. Bear may want to

Unlike in the Puppet Master movies, none of the toys here are likable or really interesting, though somehow my girlfriend, who had not seen the movie since she was 10 years old, was able to quote a scene featuring Baby Oopsy Daisy word for word. The human characters, especially the guard, the delivery boy, and his chicken-loving co-workers, are essentially cartoon characters, which is fine, as the movie is, rightfully, considered a comedic horror film. One thing all the characters have in common is the acting ability, which is equally lacking across the board. Falling somewhere between the awfulness of Child’s Play and the awesomeness of Puppet Master (the early films anyway), and blended with just the right amount of early 1990’s B-horror cheesiness, Demonic Toys is worth watching if you are nowhere near the remote and don’t feel like getting up to look for it, but it isn’t a movie you should spend much time hunting down.

On A Scale Of One To Ten: 5
