What critics compared Dolls to
Krampus suggests what it might be like to see a shrill and anonymously shot Christmas movie starring Hugh Grant or Sarah Jessica Parker invaded by the ghoulies from Stuart Gordon's Dolls .
Horror movies being centered around possessed dolls are nothing new—in addition to "Child's Play," there's everything from the underrated Stuart Gordon shocker "Dolls" to the evil clown in "Poltergeist" to the Stephen King-penned episode of "The X-Files" to the insanely popular direct-to-video "Puppet Master" franchise (there have been ten movies).
This sequel feels light-years away from what horror films like Child’s Play or Dolls achieved—stories where the danger felt personal, small-scale, and genuinely creepy.
