Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
lost-in-limbo My interest was starting to fade with the Amityville franchise, especially after "Curse'… but I wanted to see all the films and "Dollhouse" is probably the best sequel since "The Evil Escapes". Somewhat minor in that regards, but still better. Again it's another cheaply produced TV movie, but this time the cursed object happens to be a replica dollhouse of the Amityville house. Odd choice, but it did create certain creepiness. It affects the household in the usual manner, especially possessing the family and turning them against each other while feeding on the fear and anger it creates. Nothing really surprises here, as again it's a mixture of the previous films with its own slant. However it moves by fast enough, entertains with its twisted shocks, an eerie score effortlessly fits in and the characters for most part are fairly agreeable. Some of the make-up FX (that of our demonic guests) and special effects are well done, especially when the dollhouse becomes the gateway to hell. It gets crazy, but fairly entertaining. The cast give dependable turns with the likes of Robin Thomas, Rachel Duncan and Starr Andreeff. Neat, cosy horror that amuses despite its lack of new tricks.
Michael_Elliott Amityville: Dollhouse (1996) * (out of 4) Silly eighth entry in the original series has a husband moving his son and daughter into a house he built with his new wife and her son. None of the kids like the other parent but things take a turn for the worse when daddy finds an old dollhouse in a shed, which just happens to be a replica of the Amityville house. Soon enough all sorts of weird things begin to happen and of course no one thinks about destroying the dollhouse. AMITYVILLE: DOLLHOUSE is yet another direct-to-video cash-in on the original series and I guess the producers knew it was such a turkey that they didn't even try to make another one. This is a pretty bad film on many levels but unlike some of the other rip-offs (like AMITHVILLE: IT'S ABOUT TIME), this one here doesn't work on any level. Most of these sequels had little to nothing to do with the original film but it's clear the title Amityville meant rentals so we had all sorts of strange stories made up with that title added. There's very little working for this movie but at least the creatures at the very end look pretty good. Outside of that it's your typical low-budget horror movie with bland performances, a bad story and just nothing exciting going on. The death scenes are all laughable and just wait until you see the giant mouse that shows up.
Reaper-of-Souls Needing a present for his daughter's birthday, a father finds an old dusty doll house and decides to clean it up to make it presentable. What he doesn't realize, this doll house isn't for innocent little playthings, this house holds evil spirits inside! Unknowingly, the little girl releases the evil inside and the spirits are free to wreck havoc.A pretty good sequel that contains some good, eerie and creepy moments throughout. Out of all the sequels the original 'Amityville Horror' has spawned, this is one of the better ones. This is an entertaining film with a good concept. So sit back and enjoy.
Kristine Well, I finished Amityville: Dollhouse and actually it wasn't too bad, it's right up there with the second installment, and for sure it's better than that 3-D silliness. Dollhouse had a little more originality, but my complaint is that the story just wasn't that needed. The sequels have been sold out, bought out, and just too much to keep bringing the same house back over and over and over again. But standing on it's own, Dollhouse was a good horror flick.This family has built a house over the where the old Amityville House used to stand. There is a shed in back where the dad has found a doll house that is the exact replica of the Amityville house, and as a gift for his daughter, he gives her Hell House! I guess he didn't realize that the switch has been on Evil... oh, wait... wrong show. Hee hee! But of course, chaos ensues leading to horrible injuries, hot rooms, hot sex, and lots of fire! Like I said, Amityville: Dollhouse was alright on it's own, because this could've been a great horror movie. But why do we need the Amityville title? It's just getting old, thank God I only found one more, the New Generation, oh, man, wish me luck! 4/10
