If this film had been made in the 80s, it would be a cult classic today. Unfortunately, it is unlikely to impress many people nowadays, but despite the obvious lack of finances, I felt the love for horror, the emotion, and the effort, and I will repay the creators with at least three stars. It's a mix of Chucky, Willy's Wonderland, Puppet Master, and Gremlins, reviving the genre of demonic toys that was popular 30-40 years ago. Today it is actually a rarity, so I appreciate it more than another FF, ghost story, slasher, exorcism, or drama. The film suffers from a low budget, and although there are enough dead bodies in the end, the gore didn’t really impress me, it's not the proper make-up work as in other cheaper films, although the intestines in the vacuum cleaner were cool. In terms of horror, it's somewhat weaker, but I liked the various references to Chucky, Terminator, Leatherface, Evil Dead, and others. The characters were fairly likeable, and I liked that the film doesn't take itself seriously for even a minute – the dark British humor is probably the best thing it has to offer. I laughed in some scenes (the police visit scene, with dismembered bodies everywhere in the apartment, is great), and Benny's "Ta-da!" stuck in my memory for a while. If the you get into the rules of the game, you will definitely have fun. 5/10.
