Boxlist takeOtherworldly and inventive: a morally murky horror film, heavy rather than light. Best if you like surprises over comfort.

Synopsis
A precocious girl, her nasty parents, two punk-rock losers and a weak-kneed salesman inadvertently become the guests of two ghoulish senior citizens in their dark, haunted mansion. The old couple makes and collects dolls that, when not sitting still like good little mannequins, creep around in the night, offing the guests one by one.
