ichocolat This is it. I truly believe that this is the time Charles Band moves on, and try his hands on other things besides teeny tiny evil dolls. He has been at it for too long, it becomes clichéd, boring & utterly predictable.Let me reiterate by saying that I hold no grudge against him; I liked his previous films, but I believe that this premise no longer holds the same intrigue like it was before.People get bored being served the same stuff every time, so in that account, perhaps it's time for Mr. Charles to try making films of other plots, or better still, other genre.In this film, it has all the clichéd linked to it. The cold-blooded supervisor, the evil wardens, a team of inmates who own the prison; well you get the idea? And the plot & subplot get intertwined that it gets confusing, as it drifts from a plot to another as it sees fit.However, the last twist is original, thus makes me inclined to give it a better rating. Other than that, it is not worthy of the time I spent watching the film.

gavin6942 After a troubled youth, a woman enters a woman's prison and is soon to be paroled and reunited with her daughter. But a gift from her daughter, some worry dolls, have decided to solve her problems for her with extreme violence. Early parole? Probably not.As far as films from Charles Band go, this one is actually good. Like, really, truly good. Except for one thing... the dangerous worry dolls. That's right, we have a really tight script thanks to Full Moon regular August White, solid directing and respectable acting... with a dark and interesting plot about prison and the evils therein. The dolls weren't even necessary. The cheesy graphics take away from it.There's a subplot involving rape and a camera... which is quite a sinister idea. I have to give the writer credit, as this was a plausible idea and one I do not think I've encountered before. It was just, well, evil. Something you don't often encounter in horror anymore, and certainly not from Full Moon, who have devoted their time to more humor than anything. So, while this one falls short, it doesn't fall as hard as some have.

Paul Andrews Dangerous Worry Dolls is set in Meredith State Detention Center for women, a minimum security prison basically. While visitng her mother Eva (Jessica Morris) a young girl named Meg (Rebekah Crane) gives her four small worry dolls that, according to legend, if placed under your pillow at night they will make all your worries disappear by the morning & boy does Eva need them since she gets beaten up & intimidated by fellow inmate Kim (Meredith McClain) & her gang, the sadistic guard Carl (Anthony Dilio) who likes the rape the women & make porn videos of it for the internet & the warden Ms. Ivar (Deb Snyder) who takes a real dislike to Eva & is determined to make life as hard for her inside as possible. All Eva wants to do is serve her time & leave but she isn't allowed to & with the help of the living worry dolls decides to fight back & sort out her problems once & for all...Directed by Charles Band for his Full Moon Entertainment production company this is yet another cheap killer toy film that if I was being cynical would say was designed & made to kick-start a franchise & sell some merchandise as much as entertain. So joining the likes of the Puppet Master series, Dollman (1991), Demonic Toys (1992) & Doll Graveyard (2005) are the Dangerous Worry Dolls & what a limp bunch they are too, they aren't any bigger than your finger & to save on special effects they burrow inside Eva through her ear & then control her. To be honest the film plays more like a Women In Prison flick as much as a killer toy horror with all the clichés here of sadistic guards who rape the inmates, an uncaring warden, an obligatory shower scene, cat-fights between rivals & one 'straight' woman who just wants to be left alone but keeps getting picked on by the other inmates & has to toughen up to survive only here in Dangerous Worry Dolls it's all very lethargic, poorly written, paced & made so cheaply it has no real impact on a pure exploitative level. I have probably made Dangerous Worry Dolls sound better than it is, I mean there's no explanation about the dolls themselves or what they are or what is happening to Eva & the plot is pretty predictable.There is one funny moment when the prison guard puts on a strap-on cock in order to rape Eva (this isn't shown) & later on it's revealed that the guard is half man half woman in one of the most unexpected & frankly bizarre twists ever & Eva then puts the strap-on on herself & returns the favor. There's not much gore here, there are some bruises, a bit of blood & one scene in which someone has her fingers cut off in a waste disposal chute. There isn't much nudity for a Women In Prison flick either with just one solitary shower scene & even then only one naked woman is seen. This was retitled to Dangerous Chucky Dolls here in the UK obviously to cash-in on the Child's Play series.Filmed on what was obviously a very low budget in Linda Vista Hospital in Los Angeles the production values are rock bottom & the hospital location does not make a convincing prison at all, it looks & feels more like a school dormitory. The acting by no-one I have ever heard of isn't very good.Dangerous Worry Dolls is half killer toy flick & half Women In Prison exploitation & quite frankly all crap. Quite how this turned out so bad is anyone's guess but it did.

whammy666 I was actually kind of excited about this movie, it had an interesting plot idea, and sounded pretty original. And at the same time, it kept the whole "Full Moon Killer Dolls" theme going. Even the trailer made it look pretty decent, with an obvious homage to From Beyond. However, the movie moves extremely slow, and is often uninteresting. There is a severe lack of gore, and not much comedy. And a movie like Full Moon should be funny, because you know it is not going to be a genius film. The acting is okay, not awful, not very good. The characters did not seem most likable to me, therefore I didn't really care if anyone died or not. However, the ending is kind of cool. It's just too bad, this movie had some good ideas, but lack of action and good characters make it only okay. Hey, it was better than Petrified.
