KBM - Almost every positive thing you can say about Demonic Toys must be qualified with the phrase for a direct-to-video movie. This is some pretty fun gory horror schlock, for a direct-to-video movie. There are some pretty good performances, for a direct-to-video movie. The fact that it all takes place in more-or-less real time is an interesting gimmick that's pulled off fairly well, for a direct-to-video movie. You get the picture. It is pretty fun to see the underrated Tracy Scoggins get a legit leading role, even if it is in something pretty stupid like this. The production values also definitely do not do this movie any favors I understand a movie like this is gonna have some pretty cheap effects, but it's also pretty incompetently filmed a lot of the time and has a really bad, grating musical score that gave me a headache for awhile. And as surprisingly decent as most of the characters are, the girl from the air vents was quite annoying and managed to offset some of the goodwill the movie had built up with me before her arrival.

Karo - Some people get trapped in a toy warehouse for various arbitrary reasons, and unfortunately Satan lives there and has animated the toys to do his bidding. Everyone has a bizarre, unnatural way of speaking like they are Yu-Gi-Oh characters, and they fucking say the fucking word fuck at least fucking twice in every fucking sentence for fucks sake. The toys themselves lack any sort of presence or fear, most of them are literally just puppets straight out of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood and can't be taken seriously in the slightest. Hmm, at least we have never had a movie about evil toys that come to life before! Oh, wait. It is just a cheap, unoriginal piece of direct-to-video dreck that is amusing at first but soon gets very old and very boring.

Genny - Demonic Toys is one of few movies on this list that made me question "Snakes... why?" aloud. That said I enjoyed it on some level. I mean the movie is hella dumb, but the titular characters were kind of cool. 4.7/10

JONA - While the movie has its so-bad-its-good moments, a good chunk of the movie is just straight-up bad.

Inviso - This movie was so fucking stupid. It felt like a direct attempt to capitalize on thesuccess? I guess? Of Childs Play. You can definitely see the influence in having a baby doll with a knife who swears a lot. But yeah, everything about this movie is cheesy and bad, but not in a so bad its good sort of way. The movie fucking STARTS with a couple finding out that the woman is pregnant, only to then reveal that theyre both cops, undergoing a sting operation. The male cop is killed, and for whatever dumb reason, the film shifts into a toy warehouse, where apparently a demonic presence has taken control of some toys. Then a cast of random misfits gets involved (psycho criminal, asshole chicken delivery boy, fat guard, random homeless girl), most of whom ONLY exist to be killed off. Its really dumb, and it gets dumber when it turns out that the demon wants to take over her unborn babys body. Who the FUCK thought this was a good idea? This was fucking TERRIBLE
