Lawyer Jennifer Garrick (Rosalind Allen) is defending convicted child murderer Vincent Gotto (Lewis Van Bergen) and believes full-heartedly that he is innocent and hiding the actual killer's identity. This 1996 psychological thriller is unique to the typical Child’s Play formula, flipping it right on its head.
Following the Child’s Play formula to a T, this film may seem like a bit of a knock-off, but it is sure to be an experience viewers won’t forget. The little girl in the film plays a possessed child remarkably, and the cast is thoroughly entertaining. When the doll finally comes alive, this is when the fun gets started: her menacing face, hilariously creepy laugh, and gruesome kills. The dolly looks like an essential 80s talking toy: adorable dress, bangs, and is the size of an actual 3-year-old human. The camera angles in the film are spot-on: eerie close-ups of the doll’s feet, pitter patting and tiny doll hands gripping door handles. Similar to Child’s Play, the cutesy doll is possessed by an evil spirit, haunting the family and having a hold on the young girl, forcing her to do things she doesn’t want to. Jessica gets oddly close to the doll, spending all of her time with it. He gives his daughter Jessica (Candy Hutson) a doll, and right away, weird things begin happening to the family.
The film is about a businessman Elliot (Sam Bottoms) who buys the famous doll manufacturing company called “Dolly Dearest” in Mexico. A little late to the killer doll party, Dolly Dearest was released the same year as the fan-hated Child’s Play 3.
