Playing with Dolls: Bloodlust

I don't even want to waste time and energy to review this awful film, sufficed to say, the acting was bad, the script terrible, the whole thing terrible, i skipped through most of it, and discovered that at the end, instead of having an ending, its just ends, almost like they ran out of money to shoot the final scenes, just ends,mid-scene, just ends. Again, awful film, predictable dirt. I have to have a minimum of ten lines apparently to review, anywho as i was saying, do not watch this, unless you like terribly bad horror, bad acting and the like, I feel almost bad for the actors who may have thought they were doing something presentable, though as soon as they read the scripts they should have known not to do it. Also one girl was totally just cast for her huge breast implants, and when she takes her bra off we see it was a botch job, just awful.

This is not so much a sequel as part of a franchise. Instead of having a lone damsel being terrified, tormented and tortured by a mysterious psychopath, we start with four "contestants" - two male and two female. They are secreted in an isolated luxury cabin and told the one who survives until the end will win a million dollars with a lot more and fame to follow. It is fair to say that none of the group expected the word survive to be taken too literally, and one by one they are picked off.

The plot is fairly predictable, especially if you are unfortunate enough to have seen the previous offering, but sadism, gratuitous maiming and murder can only carry any film so far. The real tragedy of "Playing With Dolls..." is that the man behind it has missed his true vocation; Rene Perez also composed and performed its vastly superior soundtrack.

Playing With Dolls (2015) was pretty bad, starring Richard Tyson and telling the story of a psycho intentionally released from psychiatric care by an unscrupulous group who wanted to make a business out his murders.

The killer looked great but the film itself was a bit of a mess.

This sequel is essentially the same. Richard Tyson: Check Great looking killer: Check Crappy film: Check This one however was en-route to being better, it has its moments but dies a death in the closing moments and the reason is quite astonishing.

The final showdown is taking place, our main protagonist is battling the villain were about halfway through the fight and *Drumroll* the credits begin. That's right, the movie has no ending. It's like the editor forgot to add the finale and it's left laying on the editing floor.

I'm not going to say its a great shame, even with a decent ending this would hardly be a good film but the fact the movie was released in this state shocks me beyond words.

The Good:

Killer still looks badass

The Bad:

Cast are pretty damn bad

Kills are weak Where is the ending?

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Boobs are to the killer as crucifix's are to vampires.

Perez really likes Tyson doesn't he? And honestly I am kind of starting to come around to Perez, he's enjoyable when you want to absolutely roast something...and fives you ample opportunity to rip most of what he does apart.

What you have here is the cabin in the woods story complete with the attractive 20 somethings. However it misses the comedy that Sam Raimi would have added to it to make it unique. It misses the T&A that other directors would have added to it to make it watchable. And it misses the sadism and over-the-top gore that yet others would have added to it to make it even more watchable.

So what you have is a dull, poorly written, poorly executed horror movie with, of all people, Richard Tyson attempting to carry the weight. And honestly he's done it a few times in Perez films... just not this one.

The film starts off strong by having the worst actors ever and a very campy plot. It was really entertaining in that aspect. However, it just rushes to end, not even putting in any effort to wrap it up properly. The crappy ending seems like a last ditch attempt to make sure that they did waste your time.
