Dolls
A struggling children's book author and his rebellious teenage daughter move into a house they've inherited and find mysterious dolls in the attic. The father and daughter soon learn that the dolls have a sinister - and deadly - past.
Why it matters
A claustrophobic dollhouse nightmare that traps family trauma in sinister miniatures.
- Practical doll effects and eerie set design create a tactile, unsettling atmosphere that recalls ’80s haunted house tales.
- Explores generational tension through horror’s lens, grounding supernatural scares in emotional unease.
- For fans of slow-burn folk horror and haunted heirlooms—think *The Taking of Deborah Logan* meets *The Babadook*.
- Not perfect—pacing drags at times—but the performances anchor the creeping dread with genuine heart and dread.
