was just too much for me and left me feeling bewildered and mildly annoyed that I had wasted my time on watching the film.
There are a lot of good Korean horror/ghost films out there. This is not one of them. The whole thing felt thrown together in a hurry; and the crap plot and weak acting didn't help matters. If you have a penchant for killer dolls (I know some people do!), then you might want to see this. If not, steer clear. You would be better off watching the Whispering Corridors series, which, although also a bit silly, is much better thought out than this. Not recommended.
The DVD is available from play.com for £4.99.

Advantages: Brilliant cast, amazing special effects and CGI, much more comical and entertaining Disadvantages: Very long

Advantages: Not completely rubbish Disadvantages: Dodgy performances, awful script
able to portray without words. With the dubbing added to that, all in all, it's a bit of a disaster.
The story isn't all that great either. There is virtually no character development, so we have only just been introduced to Johnny and Sikora when they start to talk of fighting, but we don't really know why Sikora wants revenge. And it feels rushed; just as the suspense is beginning to build up, the climax happens and it's all over. I'm quite glad the film wasn't any longer than an hour and a half, but a little more substance built into the story would have been a really good idea. Past Spaghetti Westerns that I've seen have been quite complex, but at least it has been fun working out what happens. With Gunslinger's Revenge, I just didn't care all that much.
The film isn't completely rotten. As mentioned, Harvey Keitel gives a good ...
B-movie schlockmeister and former Full Moon impresario Charles Band presents his second directorial effort under the Wizard Entertainment moniker with the low-budget horror flick DOLL GRAVEYARD. The bloody gorefest opens in 1905 as a lonely 12-year-old, Sophia (Hannah Marks), dies at the hands of her abusive father (Ken Lyle) and is buried in the backyard along with her four sinister-looking dolls. One hundred years later, Sophia's vengeful ghost returns to the house to protect the new owner's equally lonely son, Guy (Jared Kusnitz), from the taunts of his older sister's jock friends by possessing the dolls' bodies and unleashing a campy orgy of violence. Bolstered by surprisingly effective puppet-oriented special effects, DOLL GRAVEYARD is a worthy addition to the Band oeuvre.
