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.

just watched this movie expecting it to be like one of the classic 70s horror movies as advertised on the DVD sleeve and enjoyed it tongue in cheek up to the finale, yeh some of the characters seemed underdeveloped and the main protagonist history was unexplained but the main thing that pee-ed me off was in the final part the film seemed to run out of steam and was cut off in the final minutes leaving a very unsatisfying and abrupt end as if the creaters of this had run out of ideas HOW TO END THIS AND GAVE UP, watchable until the end, don't watch this unless you enjoy scratching your head and wondering why you spent £6 quid in Asda.

This is by far the worst movie I have ever seen, from start to ending. I don't see how this could have been released in the first place. I hope this isn't going to set the trend for horror movies in 2016. Me and a bunch of my friends could have made a better movie in our back yard loll! Just how bad is it? Well take it like this....... I have never written a comment or review about a movie before. no matter how good or bad a movie is. But in this case, I just can't contain my disgust, it's just that bad, don't watch it. Iv'e never been so upset about having wasted my time before. unbelievable. Sheez. I also feel sorry for the actors in this movie, if they thought this was going to make them famous.

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 my first review (and probably my last on IMDb). I don't typically take the time to write written reviews because 1. what weight does my opinion hold and 2. every opinion on anything subjective should be taken with a grain of salt. However, after watching this movie I felt compelled to say something. I am a horror fanatic. I love horror (specifically 80's horror films and B horror films). The cheesier, the better. That being said, this movie was a travesty in film making. This is, by far, the worst acted film I've ever seen. The audio was awful, as if they had only one boom mic for the entire room in every shot so some of the lines were completely inaudible and others were as if someone was screaming in your ear. There was absolutely zero plot development. No character development. One of the worst scripts I've ever sat through. Nonsensical event/line and another. I just don't know where it stops. Everything about this film is horrible. It almost seems as if somebody made a bet with somebody who had no experience in film saying "I bet with $20,000 you couldn't write, produce or direct your own film". Normally, I'm a very forgiving critic but this is one special film. Avoid it at all costs. I wish I could get that 60+ minutes back from my life but unfortunately that's impossible. Oh, and the ending? I won't spoil it but suffice to say it ends mid-shot of the climax (for whatever reason) as if they ran out of film and said "Oh well we've got enough, that's a wrap people". Rene Perez should be banned from ever doing anything in show business ever again.

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.
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.

I just watched the movie and the plot synopsis is totally wrong. It is not even close. This isn't a movie about vampires. There are no supernatural beings. This is a low budget(I'm thinking 500 bucks) slasher flick that is based on a reality show. The acting absolutely atrocious and that is from everyone involved....no standouts here. It just goes on then dies......the movie doesn't even have an ending. It was horrible from beginning to end. I can't believe I watched the whole thing. I gave this movie 2 stars just because I have seen worse, not much worse, but worse nonetheless. If you want to give it a shot, go ahead, but don't say I didn't warn you.
This movie has to be the worst thing I have ever laid eyes on yet, I was unable to turn it off giving it a score of 10/10. It featured everything you want in a movie from acting that looks as though it was dubbed over with the original actors voice in a batman "kapow" "URGH!" manner.
The special effects were amazing though, they must have spent upwards of $15 on the makeup and $500 on the rent of the cabin.
I hope the director/producer/story editor/... Rene whats-his-name who did everything, probably shot the movie himself uses a bigger SD card next time so we get to see the ending of his next film.

Whoever put the idea in the head of Rene Perez to become a director deservers to be shot publicly. What a dumb movie. The actors are horrible. The music is so bad it sounds like it was made by an 11 year old on a laptop, and the "gore" is so bad it looks comical.

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.
