SOMEBODY OPEN A WINDOW!

There's a Spanish word that succinctly describes this trailer: El-Stinko. Still another Band turkey saddled with the same 'ole handicaps: (1.) A doll fetish, (2.) Derivative, predictable script (this is the money footage? It comparatively makes THE THREE STOOGES MEET HERCULES appear to have been written by Herman J. Mankiewicz). And, Charlie, the "profane doll" routine faded with SEED OF CHUCKY's boxoffice receipts, (4.) Special effects that were likely supervised by a discontent employee identified as Dicked Smith. Nothing could be worse (oh yeah, DOLL GRAVEYARD).
Mr. Band, your dad made a genuine classic, i.e. I BURY THE LIVING (exempting the compromised conclusion--which had to be a cheat after a negative preview--the low-budget production is sterling filmmaking. The most underrated genre film ever made! It should be mentioned within the same breath as CARNIVAL OF SOULS). Please drop the formulaic schtick and emulate your father.

Oh STFU. I am not agreeing with the original poster but I absolutly cant stand it when people say this. Well how many movies have you made. Give me a friggen break. Since when did being a film critic require that you at one point actually be a movie producer or director. If that were the case 99% of the people at IMDB should just shut up and not rate anything or god forbid give thier opinoin on something. Bleh is all I have to say about that comment and also the people who use it.

Charlies days of emulating his father Albert are over. It's been over since Empire Pictures went bankrupt, after that Charlie went his own way in the DTV universe.

I think this movie does not take itself seriously, sort of like The Toxic Avenger. After all, the monster is eaten towards the end. Camp comedy is really more of what the movie is than a horror or thriller...at least I hope that's what is going on otherwise this movie would really suck!

There is a way to make a cheap low budget "dumb" movie fun, this isn't the way. Busey can be hilarious in candid footage he just looked stupid here. I liked Full Moon pictures back in its heyday and it produced some great cheesy low budget fare. It also occasionally made a really decent flick like Meridian. lately tho everything from Full Moon ahs been real crappy disappointing drivel. I have met Charlie and hes a great guy. He will autograph anything you stick in front of him free of charge and hes really fun to talk to, but that doesn't excuse movies like this. I respect him beacsue hes a good guy and not like Uwe Boll who stinks up theaters with big budget big name Bloodrayne crap and then turns into an a-hole when people say they dont like it
