Review of Demonic Toys (1992) by James C — 19 Sep 2012

After watching her partner being gunned down, a female police officer chases two gun dealers into a toy factory, and she soon realises that there is something else in the building with her.

Anyone who knows me is fully aware that I have a soft spot for anything that comes from Charles Band's Full Moon company, and this is another 'fine' example of the kind of movie he is famous for. The basic story idea is very simple, but the use of location and the idea of possessed toys though quite silly, is also a little creepy at the same time. The characters all work well and the acting is suitably over the top. The gore and special effects are handled with a low budget glee that make them very fun to watch. All in all this movie is a little off the wall, even by Full Moon's standards, and though it looks and feels very amateurish now, it still has that certain something that makes it a fun way to spend 90 minutes if you are looking for a bit of retro, cheesy fun.
