Toys of Terror

I can take bad acting and bad CGI and still love a movie. This movie had both and a horrible story (which was all over the place) to boot. The ending was terribly predictable.

I guess that pretty much says it. Bummer too, because I really liked the premise, and I totally dig Evil Toys, but unfortunately for me anyway the performances just kept taking me out of the film. The nanny, in my lowly and wretched opinion is particularly bad. I mean BAD... The older girl and the children are okay. The parents aren't TOO bad, although the odd, clipped way the director has the mom speaking constantly gets a bit annoying. I think that at least to me this is just a case where there was a good idea and even fairly decent writing, but the director just didn't seem to be able to draw out very realistic performances from the players. And, when you think about it, if you have a story based upon Evil Killer Toys, you REALLY need to be able to draw the audience into the story by means of the characters, not to mention the writing and direction. So, that's it basically, kinda short and sweet. A shame though... I would have really wanted to like the movie, but for me personally, that is indeed one thing which can really kill it for me in a film, if the performances or characters just don't come across well enough to sell the story. But, with that said, if your tastes maybe aren't quite as demanding in the acting department and you can get into the story, you might find something to like...

This movie had potential. But unfortunately it just goes safe and add absolutely nothing new. Old story without no fresh material or without a twist. Its so horrible acting and you can feel its all forced sentences and its just feels fake. The only thing I really appreciated was the old style of technic that was made for moving the toys, felt like a 1980s movie, which is much better than crappy CGI. As a swedish person I felt the most scary thing in this movie was the swedish Christmas song that was used. It gave me the chills, it was not suitable for this movie since it has nothing to do with Sweden.

We watched this as a family on the SyFy channel. Special effects were low budget so you just had to go with it. Overall it was enjoyable enough for us not to change the channel.

Not great, not bad, just inconsistent. The funny part, or the gutsy part, is the makers of the movie thinking there will be a sequel...guess I'm an old man too, but figure it's a one off..in the making, as well as the viewing..

Weird stilted acting and pitiful special effects were the best part of this putrid movie. I could go on for pages about this garbage,but why bother? It stinks to high heaven.

I can't believe the acting and or directing. An hour and a half in to this movie and the best thing so far, the movie before it. The wife needs years of acting lessons. Sorry, but really bad all the way around
