I've never understood the appeal of Dolls
what is it that you dislike?
It's just boring to me and what Charles Band movie doesn't have boobs?
hmm.. i guess after from beyond and re-animator it could be a letdown that you're not getting something more like that again. but it's been a favorite as far as i can remember.

Thought I owned Needful Things and I don't. That's disappointing

I only watched Dolls I believe once before this. I remembered thinking it was good. This go-round I was totally blown away. A very rare 5 stars from me.

Are you talking about the Audra scene early on? Otherwise, I can't remember a scene in It Part 2 with a movie in a movie.
If it's the "you suck at writing endings," thing, that's a somewhat common complain lobbied at Stephen King, and it pops up a few times throughout the second part (such as during King's cameo).

i didn't know that criticism was out there about stephen king himself. that explains it.

Currently on the Dolly Dearest menu screen of my Vinegar Syndrome bluray. The music is intense. Very cool. I remember really liking this one a lot, but I think Dolls is probably going to end as my all time favorite Little Liller Thriller.

Seen it. Actually discussed it with Chucky on the FE podcast.
Might be worth a listen to hear our thoughts, if you're interested, but long story short, I'm not a big fan of it (though I saw it on the opposite of bluray, so what do I know?)

Dolly Dearest is credited for being the inspiration for Annabelle.

I remember liking it well enough and getting some very moderate Exorcist vibes with the creepiness of the doll. Rip Torn's non-drunkenness is also a prominent memory.
