Certified Crap. CrapScore 56, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Stranded travellers shelter with an elderly couple whose dolls have strong opinions about adult behaviour. Stuart Gordon blends a child's fairy-tale outlook with vicious little attacks and inventive practical grotesquerie. A compact haunted-toy option for viewers comfortable with the bedtime story turning bloody.
