Godzilla video now bitch
This movie scared the hell out me the doll here was uglier then fucking Chucky 🤣
Prices higher in Canada.
Must be 18 years or older to purchase.
"Here's your problem. Someone set this doll to evil."
"But it comes with a free frogurt!"
I heard his voice in my head when I read this comment. Lol
"My bologna has a first name - it's H-O-M-E-R!"
Child’s play remake
@@karenstarr Same here
"Are you sure this place makes Dolls and not Meth?" Where do you think they're supposed to hide the Meth?
In the doll’s “cookie” wink wink 😉 if you catch my meaning.
Good to see a g-fan! I’ll sub to you just cause you got good profile pic choice
@@KaijuRails54_Official Damn, if I had known it was that easy I wouldn't have waited till I created a channel by accident to make one! But um thanks anyway Godzilla is pretty neat.
If Columbia inside dead infants.. no I’m not kidding
This looks like if Annabelle had a one night stand with Chucky
Someone would be into that
@@gaminganimators7000 there's r34 of Micheal Myers and Jason Voorhees it seems likely you're right
No,No,NO.No.
@@cringelul Yes yes yes yes.
Annabelle isn’t living though. She never even moves
Fun fact: the latino spanish dub of this movie is considered Lost Media
@Donny Sites as far as I know, yes, this movie in particular didn't do very well in Latin countries because it had a rather limited release and since it was rental video not many people was able to keep a copy, it's so lost that when TV channels air the movie (the very few times they do btw) it is in English with subtitles rather than dubbed.
But this movie is not alone, the latino versions of many other but most notably 80's and early 90's horror movies, mostly those that went direct to video, are sadly lost and the only proof of their existence are mere memories.
That's a shame but easily fixed.
It's not like the missing footage from Event Horizon or the Billy Barty/Baby Monster bit from Bride of Frankenstein.
A movie where an American Girl Doll goes rogue and starts murdering people would be pretty cool, actually. Especially if all the different ones were used.
Sounds kinda like the bit from Small Soldiers....
I was trying to figure out who that glasses kid was because he looked familiar. Turned out he was Riker's fake son in "Future Impact" where an alien kid tries to trick Riker into being a dad. So we have Tasha Yar and Ethan Riker in this.
Jean Luc Riker was the name he used while pretending to play Riker's son. I actually met this kid once while I lived in LA. He bought comic books at the shop where a friend of mine worked.
Mike Stoklasa would be proud of you
It's a shame they couldn't keep the kid. I mean...adoption's a thing. Why not just straight up tell them he's an ayy lmao and he needs a home?
You're right! Ha! All we're missing in Counselor Troi :=)
STAR TREK TNG ep
FUTURE IMPERFECT
"the doll's voice isn't quite as memorable as Brad Dourif"
To be fair: very few are...
Brad Dourif should have been the narrator in illumination's Grinch movie.
@@SuperSwordman1 i haven't seen it. But still, I agree.
Everything he does is more memorable. That the Dourif effect.
@@user-zh4vo1kw1z Do yourself a favor. Don't see it.
No lie, I would listen to Brad Dourif read his grocery list.
"I guess in mexico they let kids wonder around important archaeological finds". As a Mexican who got to walk around archaeological finds, they do.
Fun fact about that Fangoria cover: It's one of former Editor Tony Timpone's biggest cover regrets. That was their "Women Of Horror" issue.
The part when the kid says “Play with this” and shoots the doll with the shotgun, they did that exact scene with Andy in “Curse of Chucky”... did... did _Child’s Play_ rip off the movie that ripped it off?!
Ripoffspetion?
Lol I'm dead.
9:20 To be honest, I'd die of a heart attack too if a doll got up and started attacking me.
Isn't that same gag used in one of the Chucky movies?
@@user-zh4vo1kw1z Yeah, it was in Child's Play 3.
And seeing how that movie came out the same year this movie did, it makes me wonder if Dolly Dearest did the heart attack attack death first or if they took it from Child's Play 3.
@@SwaggyG_2102 tbh Chucky's reaction was better...
My mother-in-law made a Poltergeist clown for my wife after they watched the movie. Ah, good old childhood trauma.
What? I guess she had a lot of spare cash lying around and wanted to spend it on child therapy.
Funny enough my older sisters used to have a doll our grandmother made for them. It had white skin, really pale blue eyes and black, yarn, hair, and that thing used to scare the crap out of me, as a kid. I remember putting it deep into the closet under boxes and stuff to make sure I never saw that thing again and I never did.
@@LibraGamesUnlimited .... are you talking about... jimmy I had a doll just like that.. we found him at a yard sale
@@mothmanofaustraliaradio8888 No, this was female and I think our grandma made it by hand. It was creepy because it was all white, had light blue eyes (I always thought they looked possessed), and scraggly black yarn for hair.
I'm guessing she looked better when she was new but by the time I came along she had been around for a while. :)
OMG, you mean when your wife was a child and not as a recent gag-gift?!?
@@mousetreehouse6833 Exactly.
The Dolly Dearest doll looks like one used in The Sixth Day.
Yeah, except doll from The Sixth Day looked way more creepy.
@Austin Downing
You're confused. It was when Arnold Schwarzenegger said, "I'll be black."
Im sim pal cindy whats your name i got a boo boo lol
Wow mined blown
@@WordUnheard Ah, C'mon Man! :P
The Rip Torn Holy Water cocktail comment was delivered perfectly as they showed his disappointed face. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Okay, Brandon, you gotta keep covering films with Rip Torn cause your impression of him was the best part of the episode. XD Also, glad to see this flick get some spotlight.
We're not hostin' an intergalactic kegger here
"If you can dodge a talking doll, you can dodge a ball."
Ooo, Canadian Bacon!
Surprised there was no mention that the actress who played Jessica is the same kid actress who voiced Cera in the land before time. Candy Hutson
Had to look her up to make sure she wasn't that poor tragic little girl from The Land Before Time.
@@anonimothy5979 no that was Ducky voice actress Judith Barsi
and it's first 3 DTV sequels too
Oh neat
To be fair, 'Poltergeist' didn't have anyone dying in it and look how great of a movie that turned out to be.
True, but it was very much a suspense movie, while a killer doll movie is a... killer doll movie. WE PAID FOR BLOOD!!!
most of the cast of
POLTERGEIST
died in real life
@@andrewblanchard2398 Well, that's another thing. I'm talking about the characters in the movie here.
Thanks, Rip Torn. I’ve never thought I needed to know what an Irish-Mexican accent sounded like
Anthony Quinn was Irish Mexican. Now, he was famous for playing a Greek man but...
I looked this director up and discovered she was an actress for Joe Sarno, Ray Dennis Steckler, Al Adamson, and the Findlays. She also apparently served as editor on Don Jones's Schoolgirls in Chains. Pretty cool.
The female equivalent of Chucky is Talking Tina from the Twilight Zone. "My name is Talking Tina and I don't like you."
And that was creepy. Especially since it seems like Tina is protective since Telly was abusive. Then you get her warning the mom at the end.
Tina was far creepier, especially with this line: "My name is Talking Tina, and I'm going to kill you..." said in a sing-song, girlish voice.
And that one creeped me out.
Loool this is making me laugh.
I’m completely snowed in in PA, a new Brandon Tenold episode / binge session is just what I need.
I second that
You just know that the whole creeping living doll thing, they all got it from that Twilight Zone episode. That episode that had Kojak in it.
Talky Tina ftw. XD
"My name is Talking Tina and I don't like you. "
I remember renting this a few times at my local video store. Huge horror fan during my tween/teen years.
Bet we'll get a review of Stuart Gordon's Dolls in the near future.
I will say the doll actually does look creepy sometimes lol
Mostly when it has Linda Blair "Exorcist" face. :)
This movie scared the crap out of me when I was younger.......also great video man it was hilarious
I wonder what Denise Crosby would say if someone handed her this movie to autograph at a ST convention.
Probably about the same as if someone did that with a copy of "Mortuary".
She is really nice and a lot of fun to talk with. She would sign your copy and probably get started talking about the movie, the good and the bad! I met her two years ago and she was really awesome! :-)
@@jamiebraswell5520 I still need her autograph and a couple others to finish my TNG autograph collection, so maybe one of these days sooner rather than later conventions will start up again.
@@jamiebraswell5520 I would like to talk to her about "Mortuary".
I remember my mother showing me this film as a kid. She told me years later she showed me this movie hoping to wing me off my Barbie obsession..... it didn’t work! 😂
Where's my shotgun? I'm going killer doll hunting.
How many times can Brandon rip on Rip?
Answer: All of them.
The holy water and assistant joke made me nearly spit out my tea.
Me, Being a Mexican: "I know that place!"
Also Rip Torn accent, if its supposed to be mexican, is better than Chuck Heston's one from Touch of Evil.
Accent's weren't his thing. Charlton Heston also sucked attempting a British accent in The Awakening.
@@scockery oh that's the mummy film based off the jewel of the seven stars by Bram Stoker, right?
@@andrewbyrne2173 That's the one. I could see it getting a review on here one day.
I enjoyed the book. There's actually a few movies based off that. Though if Brandon does do something based of Stoker's work, I would prefer the lair of the white worm.
Same my family's been around there. Also he could have just played a foreign archeologist who's working in México. Would have made more sense tbh.
Watched In Search Of Darkness 2 over the weekend. It was nice to see you in there!!
Pre-Annabelle. That aside, the kill count could have been higher with the work at the dig site. Oh and the boy would have died, he just make it then out of the air, a doll nabs him. Like any that matters, I really like the animatronic effects on the dolls. They have good creepy look. Imagine walking down a wide dark hallway and finding a group of them emotionless faces and all talking as one entity planning on killing you.
Rip Torn sounds like a fake Irishman that is too poor to afford his own accent
Hahahahahaha, that's top shelf right there
If you can buy a possessed doll you can dodge a ball!
Patches O Hollihan in Dodgeball
He spent all his money on an intergalactic keger.
He has one, he just hocked it for more whiskey.
Duuuuuude . I remember the big ass poster they had of this at a video store back when I lived in Mexico . I rented it and watched literally everyday and when I came back to Cali. The flea market was selling the vhs and I bought it and watched non stop again 😭😭😭
Affinity for killer dolls there @Ben Covarrubias. Very Cool
Lady chucky says like a more fitting name
Also a murdering american doll movie,would be hilarious
"Chuckette"? 😏 Okay maybe not...
Homicidal Bratz dolls might also be fun...
Chucky v Dolly: A Courtroom Murder Drama - I´m in :D
I want it xD
Damn, you’re really cranking these out!
I think it's something to do with avoiding a certain virus that, if contracted, can cause folk to upload videos onto RUclips faster...oops. lol
I liked Dolly Dearest. Unlike most other "evil doll" films, it doesn't come off as a slasher flick, more like a possession flick. I didn't even notice the similarities with Child's Play the first time I saw it, because it is so different from it. Other than a talking doll that kills, they don't have that much in common.
So if you see it as an Exorcist knock-off rather than a Child's Play knock-off, the low kill count and the slow pacing fits.
Heck, Amityville Horror had a very similar feel to it and the only one who died there was the dog. And that got praised as a horror classic!
In this movie’s defense I have to give credit that the spirit possessed multiple dolls instead of just one.
But by the time they got to that god awful Cult of Chucky film he was able to do that also.
@@lutherheggs451 Save for the reboot which was actually really good, I stopped watching the chucky movies many years ago.
Seed of Chucky destroyed the franchise for me but honestly watching the series as an adult doesn’t scare me anymore but makes me really pity Andy and his mother.
Viewing the story as an adult makes it all really fucked up.
Andy’s mom just wanted to be a good mom and give her kid a good birthday present.
@@Egryn well done, you understood the movie.
Here's a cookie 🍪
@@user-zh4vo1kw1z what kind of cookie is it?
@@Egryn liver crisp and chocolat chip
I seem to remember the synopsis on the back of the box claiming "A housekeeper is torn apart. A nightwatchman is hacked to pieces".
Well those are both the deaths but they're both lies.
Oh yeah, box synopsis were always lies. That is one thing I learned from the old days of video rentals. That and that box art also lies. Just look at the cover of "Deathstalker 2" and compare that to the actual leads. :)
@@LibraGamesUnlimited is that a Boris Vallejo painting?
@@redkingrauri3769 I'm not sure. I know the guy and girl on the cover look nothing like the leads in the movie, the clothing is even way off. It looks like an old-school cover for a heavy metal record or something from a classic D&D book which was probably the point. :)
You're tearing me apart! Oh hi Dolly.
@@teedup8995 I got a good laugh from that. Thanks.
13:20 Honestly, I'm suprised the mom didn't pull a Maniac on her daughter.
Had it been any other person, it would've been a rather different story.
This movie also got a theatrical release here in the deep South as well.
It's funny that you mentioned Playmates only making Michaelangelo toys because he was the ONLY one that I had trouble finding, lol!
8:46 Fun Fact: Don Mancini had originally wanted to do the multiple Chuckys (Chuckies?) idea for Child's Play 3, but had to drop it due to budget concerns.
I wouldn't be surprised if the writers of Dolly Dearest had heard of it and "borrowed" the idea for their own movie. Both films did premiere only a couple months apart.
i remember being 6 years old and seeing this in the video stores and being a fan of chucky
i had to see this one and to this day i really enjoy! this 90s cheese horror awesome review!!
your sub count never makes sense to me, your content is always amazing, you have a great sense of humor, all and all one of the best quality channels out there. How your not about 2-3mil subs at this point is strange.
I share each review he comes out with on Facebook (public). How many people see those posts and actually come to his channel though, I don’t know.🤷🏻♀️ But I’ll keep putting them out there, and liking each video I watch on his channel..
Not going to lie, for a split second, I thought Brandon was going to make a review on the 1987 movie Dolls.
I love that movie.
He needs to do that one
I thought he same thing. The box art is similar.
It is very similar to a kids horror book from the 89s. As a kid it was scary. The kid basically started becoming more like the doll.
Me and my wife absolute love your videos Brandon! Hands down one of the few channels we truly enjoy. Thank you!
This movie scared the shit out of me when I was a kid. That scene of the doll in the rocking chair did it for me lol
"Come on, Denise Crosby, you were in *Eliminators* !" made me chuckle)))
Another GREAT upload,Thank You Brandon! Please keep em coming.
That doll and the "skeleton" at the end scared the shit outta me. For low budget. The Dolly effects were pretty good. Time for a re-watch.....
The doll almost looks like Annabelle
[Mayan temple appears]
Me [a fool]: Oh, I wonder if they're going to have this be a Mesoamerican god? That would be at least a little interesting.
The movie: lol, it's just the Devil.
Every time.
Yea really, at least make it an Aztecan God of the underworld or something.
That Michaelangelo riff...insert The Last Ronin joke here :
Yessss!! Its about time!? To me, this is a great little horror movie. When the doll head throws the tongue, classic! Thanx for the review!👍🍻🍻🍻
Rip Torn sounds like that obnoxious drunk guy on St Paddy’s who after having his 5th irish carbomb spends the rest of the night talking in his worst irish accent
So he sounds like Rip Torn.
If Rip Torn were alive today he'd slap you in the chops for that after breaking into a bank that looked like his house.
@@UberNeuman 🤣
@@UberNeuman I have no idea what that means, but it fascinates me...
Got to admit, I laughed more on this review that the other dolls reviews. Oh wait...
the female version of Chuck would be Charlotte
I’ve known 3 Charlottes only one wasn’t a creepy ass doll...Ireland in the 80’s was WEEEEEIRD!
Chuckette ;)
Charlene?
Cathy... There was a chatty cathy doll
Tiffany
Well Hollywood is on the verge to remake old horror films from 70's and 80's maybe it's possible for a remake of Dolly Dearest.
The puberty line was hilarious! Great review of a lesser known movie. (that thumbnail creeps me out)
We got hit with a foot of snow here in Wisconsin. Hope you did better up ' nort.
And Cusma now. Nafta is gone. Sorry I work shipping.
Well, they straight up murdered the spelling of "Arqueologia" as well.
Confirmo, me cagaba de la risa leyendo eso en la peli
Someone else remembers Pinocchio's Revenge! Whoo!!!
To be fair, one of the inspirations for Child's Play was an episode of The Twilight Zone about a killer girl doll, so really, this movie is just bringing this full circle.
Love all the 80s and 90s toys jokes. A trip down memory lane.
Denise Crosby, "Damn it! Should have stayed on the Enterprise."
I thought she was fired and didn't have a choice. I heard two versions of this story. In one it was Roddenberry who hired her and liked her work and when he died the people who took over got rid of her because they hated her. The other version was she posed in Playboy and wore a knock-off Star Fleet uniform in one picture and Paramount (I guess it was) fired her for that. I don't know if that one is true though because Terry Hatcher did the same thing with a Superman cape and she wasn't fired. Then again firing Lois Lane would probably be a lot more complicated. :)
@@LibraGamesUnlimited it was Kim Cattrall that shot nude photos on the set of Star Trek VI, to which Leonard Nimoy was furious. I have never heard of Denise Crosby doing such a thing. Also, Denise left Star Trek of her own free will in 1988, the later half of Season One. Gene Roddenberry died in 1991, just prior to the theatrical release of Star Trek VI. If Denise had been fired, she would not have been welcomed back into future appearances in Star Trek The Next Generation, both as Tasha Yar in alternate time lines or in scenes set in the past, or as the Romulan Sela who appeared several times and even got a scene with Leonard Nimoy as Spock.
@@jamiebraswell5520 Pretty sure I saw the cover she was on and I know a friend of mine said he had the issue (at least at one time).
There have been cases of fired actors coming back to shows, either because the person who fired them has left or someone above them has pulled rank on them.
I really have no idea either way. I guess she might have left because she felt with so many characters she wasn't getting enough screen time (that was, reportedly, why George Eads left "McGyver" because they kept adding new characters and he didn't feel it was worth his time to live out where they film, away from his family, for an ever diminishing role).
A lot of the time the real reasons are never truly known.
I instantly recognized the maid, she’s Lupe Ontiveros. She starred in a bunch of Chicano films like Blood In Blood Out, Selena (as Selena’s killer), and the mother in Real Women Have Curves. But here it looks like another one of those maid roles she had to take just to get work.
It's an excellent 90's hidden gem horror movie. 😀👍
I'll give Dolly this over chucky: I can buy that little girls would want one based on her normal appearance, whereas the Good Guy dolls already looked unsettling to begin with. In fact, it's kind of impressive that they managed to make a realistic child-like doll that doesn't immediately dive straight down the uncanny valley, which also makes the double-personality concept work a lot better.
This parallel Brandon vs Good Bad Flicks uploading makes me happy! Do continue, please!
Damn, Tenold on a snowy Monday along with Good Bad Flicks Cinema Snob and Movie Timelines. Most excellent
Awesome review brandon
14:54
*HAHAHAHAHA!!*
might be the hardest I've laughed since the Killer Klowns review, when we got a Chapelle quote double-whammy~ "PSYYYYCHE!" "GOTCHA, bitch!"
Good stuff as always, Tenold, this movie seems to occupy that same area of 'If I'd seen this when I was 6 and up too late, it would've hit a lot harder on the scares."
I remembered this movie as Child's Play from a VCD back in the day.
It's a movie, of course they speak English.
My favorite quote of the episode lol. I'd love to see a movie where they just look at them and respond with no.
Remember when Rip Torn did highbrow productions like THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH? I miss those days. RIP Rip.
Or "Freddy Got Fingered"...a masterwork and tour-de-force in celluloid.
LOL did you just use The Man Who Fell to Earth and high brow in the same sentence....That movie is terrible and I say that as someone who really liked Bowie's music...Torn is the same guy who was in such winners around that time as Beastmaster and Airplane 2, his roles have always been all over the place..Hell he was Scully in Summer Rental.
@@seanwilkinson8696 Don't forget about his amazing role as "The Chairman" in that spectacular Robocop 3
@@lutherheggs451 It had a profound impact on me in my mid-teens - one of the first films I watched in the year 2000!
Glad seeing this film get a review finally! Denise Crosby was banging in this😍
I swear I kept hearing you say "Rib Torrence" and thought that's referencing that he looks like Jack Nicholson.
I bet Denise Crosby regrets quitting Star Trek TNG every day of her life
yay my first new video as new subscriber!!
question
would you do review of the movie toys??
teh one with robin williams
The animatronics in this were pretty good
This is why you should always get a background check on the property before signing the lease.
Everytime I hear the outtro i always think of Talking In Your Sleep
Dolls don’t spook me, but I do get uncanny vibes visiting my neighbor who has many dolls in her living room.
It's the eyes. They are always weird looking for some reason. When I was a kid, we would go to visit the best friends of my parents. Jeanette had a spare bedroom with a doll collection. In the evenings while they were visiting in the living room, my brother and I would explore the house or go pull out some old toys...getting near the darkened doll room always scared me, lol!
5:52
“Jessie.. follow meeee..”
“Jessssicccaaaaa.”
I love that part! 🖤
Ironically, the doll itself doesn't look creepy when not killing.
Found this gem as a kid, same reason as you said (the great box art). It's a shame it didn't get a sequal. Sure it has some big issues. But still worth a watch. Agree it would be funny to see a chucky vs Dolly film 😂😁 my money would definitely be on chucky.
Poster text:
Chucky vs Dolly.
If the laugh won't kill you, the evil spirit will. :P
Annabelle will be in the new Chucky series on Scifi plus maybe we get a Dolly cameo too.
You'd think a killer doll movie called "Dolly Dearest" would be about a doll possessed by a crazy old Hollywood actress freaking out and trying to kill her owner for putting her doll clothes on WIRE HANGERS!!!!
Lol
I’m shocked there was no mention of Lupe Ontiverios who was a huge telenovela star playing the maid. She would of course go on to play Yolanda in Selena. Sadly she would be harassed the remainder of her life because so many people thought she was the real Yolanda who shot and killed Selena.
Tasha! I knew!
Rip Torn must have been really hard up for cash in the early 90s! Yikes!
Sadly booze doesn't pay for itself.
I can’t believe you’d diss “this is the end, friend”
That line is golden. Imma fight yuo
I went and saw this in the cinema when it opened theatrically in Austin. That was $7 and 90 minutes of my life I'll never get back.
It’s great to see “Rosalita” from Goonies did another film!
This is gone be fun
