Dollman vs. the Demonic Toys is a sequel to Dollman, Demonic Toys AND Bad Channels, but not one that fits very well. Bad Channels in particular. They decided to retcon which girl is still shrunken so she can play opposite Tim Thomason, and I agree, Melissa Behr isn't just the most gorgeous presence but had the best character. Except, she was instrumental in the defeat of the alien, so it doesn't make sense. Dollman fares better, in that director Charles Band is much more interested in showing what it's like to be a foot tall. There's LOADS of giant props, life-sized evil toys, and camera work that makes you believe in the size difference. This is what the original Dollman should have been like. The plot, however, is all Demonic Toys, with Tracy Scoggins recruiting the doll people to help her stop the demon's return once more (just go with it). The demon is sidelined in favor of the evil toys (some returning, some new), but in any case, having Dollman in the story pushes it away from horror and into action flick territory. At barely an hour (much less if you remove all the flashbacks to the previous three films), there's only really time for a couple fights, and some unfortunately rapey jeopardy for Nurse Ginger, as Scoggins more or less disappears from the script. Good thing Thomason and Scoggins are involved, because otherwise this would be a pretty forgettable mash-up. 4 years 9 months ago
