Thehibikiew Not even bad in a good way

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

shanerittersbach Demonic Toys is a Full Moon Pictures production from 1992. It is also a great B-movie!SPOILERS AHEAD!Demonic Toys is one of the first films produced by Charles Bands Full Moon Productions. The film was directed by fellow director Peter Mooniagen. Mooniagen is known for directing Arena (1989) and Seed People (1993) for Charlie Band. Tracy Scoggins as Judith Gray, a detective on a deadly case. Then there is Bentley Mitchum as Mark Wayne, Judith's fiancée. And then there is Daniel Cerny as "The Kid", a demon in child form wreaking havoc on our main characters. Then we have the films titular baddies, Barry Lynch as Hesse, a fair-haired henchmen. Next there is Pete Schrum as Charneski, a grumbling security guard at a old toy factory. Next to the cast we have the films title characters, the Demonic Toys. First we have Baby Oopsie, the leader of the titular ghouls. Oopsie is a raunchy, mouthy toy baby that can do more then pee himself. His weapon of choice within the film is a dagger. Next we have Grizzly Teddy, a mutant-killer teddy bear with a hankering for raw flesh. There's even one scene in the film where the titular teddy grows twice his size and starts to mutilate and tear apart our main cast members. Then there's Jack Attack, a mutant jack-in-the-box. He pops out of his wind-up box and latches on to his victims, ripping their jugulars out. The last terror-toy is Mr. Static, a four inch remote-control robot toy that blasts electrical beams out of his bionic arms. All of the toys in the film were created by legendary makeup effects artist John Carl Beauchler. Beauchler is known in the horror community for his work on such cult classics as The Garbage Pail Kids, Ghoulies, From Beyond, and many more films in that genre. All, including Baby Oopsie, Grizzly Teddy, and Jack Attack were hand and rod puppets. The Only animatronic toy was Mr.Static, who was a completely radio- controlled puppet. Other great effects in the film include a ghastly demonic makeup for the films grown-up demon. Also there is a dead demon fetus, yeah, i know, that's dark. Then there is my personal favorite creature in the film, the large version of Teddy. The basic structure of the creature was foam laced on a spandex suit. Then it was covered in fake fur and to top it off ti possess's an articulated head with a full range of emotion and expressions.The film also features quite a few detailed stop-motion animation scenes provided by the late stop-motion maestro David Allen who is mostly known for his work for Stephen Spielberg on Young Sherlock Holmes and another film series for Charles Band, The Puppet master series. The overall product is a fun film to pop in on a Saturday night. Thats all it is. It's dumb fun, plain and simple. The film is filled with over-the-top puppets and gore. I believe the film is one of the highlights in the early Full Moon lineup. I really love this movie, right down to it's really cheesy parts. It's a great enjoyable film, oh, and how can you not love a film with a ticked off, flesh hungry teddy bear?Two-Foam Rubber Thumbs Up

Woodyanders An evil 66-year-old boy spirit (a creepy portrayal by Daniel Cerny) with the power to bring toys to life gets awakened and searches for a new body to inhabit. Tough lady cop Judith Gray (a pleasingly feisty performance by the stunning Tracy Scoggins) and several others find themselves trapped in a warehouse with the pernicious brat. Director Peter Manoogian, working from a compact and engrossing script by David S. Goyer, relates the absorbing story at a steady pace, stages the action and attack set pieces with real skill and aplomb, treats the absurd premise with admirable seriousness, delivers a handy helping of graphic gore, and further spruces things up with a very nasty sense of wickedly amusing black humor. The solid acting by the competent cast helps a lot, with especially praiseworthy work from Bentley Mitchum as sarcastic slacker fast food delivery guy Mark Wayne, Michael Russo as ruthless scumbag criminal Lincoln, Ellen Dunning as scrappy teenage runaway Anne, and Peter Schrum as grumpy security guard Charnetski. The nifty array of killer toys adds immensely to the twisted entertainment value: a giant teddy bear (!), a robot, a jack in the box, and a foul-mouthed baby doll. Busty blonde babe Kristine Rose provides some skin as hot pin-up Miss July. Adlfo Bartoli's impressively polished cinematography makes fine use of a smoothly gliding Steadicam, boasts lots of cool tilted camera angles, and even offers a little stylized slow motion. Richard Band's shivery score does the spine-tingling trick. A really fun piece of blithely trashy junk.

Scarecrow-88 "The world is a toilet and all the people in it are a**holes." Silly nonsense from Full Moon based on an original story by executive producer Charles Band. More toys that kill people, this time in a warehouse with a group of unfortunates who happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Tracy Scoggins stars as a tough cop whose boyfriend/partner gets shot in the line of duty during a gun-smuggling shake-down that goes awry; she is pregnant with his unborn child. The two crooks responsible for his murder run for a warehouse holding Arcadia toys, while Scoggins is in hot pursuit. A dead demon fetus was buried in the ground underneath the warehouse, 66 years a demonic spirit awaiting its chance to occupy the human fetus of Scoggins' Judith Gray. Blood from the bullet wound of one of the criminals seeps into a crack in the floor of the warehouse (the cracks in the floor form a pentagram, a pretty creative visual I must say) bringing new life to the demonic spirit which possesses several toys (including a Baby Oopsy-Daisey doll, jack in the box, robot, and teddy bear), using them as weapons for destruction.Bentley Mitchum is a chicken delivery man, miserable with his job, whose life gets even worse when he's trapped in the warehouse, defending himself against killer dolls. Michael Russo is one of the punks, smart mouth and vile personality, who Scoggins chases into the warehouse, causing all kinds of mischief and trouble for our heroine. Daniel Cerny is the creepy kid whose form is used the most by the demonic spirit to antagonize Scoggins. Other characters include an obese security guard and a runaway using the warehouse as a place to rest. Jeff Celentano (Puppetmaster II) has a brief, but important, part as Scoggins' slain lover whose appearance the demon uses to torment Judith, including one ghoulish scene where he removes his eyes from their sockets."Demonic Toys" is as preposterous as the synopsis sounds, but does have some positive aspects such as a beautifully melodic score by Richard Band and super stop motion animation toy soldier sequences by the late, great David Allen and his crew. Lots of icky gore has the demonic toys chewing heartily into the faces and throats of victims, pulling away flesh with their monstrous teeth. If you ever wanted to unload bullets into toys, then the final scene where Scoggins and Mitchum blast away at the "demon's army" should produce a vicarious thrill. Scoggins acts her heart out, particularly when confronted by the demon's use of her lover's dead corpse for kicks, but maybe she goes a little bit over the top with the melodramatics. Yep, this movie has a scene where characters use ventilation ducts in an attempt to escape and get help. Most memorable death scene could be the vicious murder of the warehouse security guard who even gets stabbed in the crotch by Baby Oopsy-Daisey. Oh, speaking of Baby Oopsy-Daisey, the baby doll toy spouts out curse words and profane quips ala Chucky. The killer toys are noticeably hand puppets during close-up scenes. You even have poor Mitchum up against a man in a bear suit for good measure. Hokum of the highest order, but I have to admit those toys are rather imposing, particularly with the addition of those sharp teeth and demonic eyes.

Backlash007 ~Spoiler~ I first saw Demonic Toys when I was probably 11 or 12. It was a lot cooler back then. Demonic Toys is another one of Full Moon's puppets-on-the-loose films. What's with Charles Band's obsession with dolls? I like the first few Puppetmaster films as well as Stuart Gordon's Dolls, but after Blood Dolls, Ragdoll, Doll Graveyard, Dollman, and this, I've had enough. Seriously, give it up. This time the two dumbest cops and the two dumbest criminals are responsible for the evil toys coming to life. Tracy Scoggins plays one of the dumb cops, and our heroine. Yippee. I don't have a problem with Scoggins, it's her character. I don't think I've seen a more idiotic main character ever. Our secondary characters are a chicken delivery boy (played by Robert Mitchum's grandson, Bentley) and a homeless girl who knows EXACTLY what is going on. How she knows everything is never revealed. I can't say that I was surprised by that fact. I can't believe David Goyer wrote this garbage! He's come a long way in his career. The effects aren't that great either. And they were done by John Carl Beuchler. He's usually a top notch creature designer. If you take a look at the Jack in the Box design, I'd say the guys behind Killer Klowns could have sued. The only positive thing I can say about the film is Baby Oopsy Daisy's foul mouth had me cracking up. Even though the movie wasn't great, Full Moon was way ahead of their time in certain regards. Videozone was a great concept, selling device, and precursor to DVD special features. Videozone was the best thing about renting Full Moon flicks. They told you what was coming out and let you see sneak peeks into the world of making horror movies. In this particular Videozone, Band shows the poster art for Puppetmaster IV. It features the Puppetmaster gang going up against the Demonic Toys. That actually wouldn't happen until 10 years later with Puppetmaster Vs. Demonic Toys.
