“Dolls” (*1/2 out of four) was a mirthless horror thriller about an alcoholic father (Thomas Downey) and his rebellious teenage daughter (Trinity Simpson) who move into a new house which they soon find is inhabited by killer dolls with a mysterious and deadly past. Unfortunately, neither Chuckie nor Annabelle are part of the dolls ensemble and neither are any other dolls with any formidable presence or interest. Not even one-time ’80’s horror siren Dee Wallace (in a cameo role) can save this by-the-numbers horror schlock from being a waste of time. Incidentally, this is not a remake of the 1987 horror film “Dolls” for anyone who was wondering but you’ll probably wish it were by the end.
