“It's time to play!” Nothing quite says horrifying like the spawn of a Satanic cult possessing multiple dolls, and by proxy, Denise Crosby’s daughter… (except maybe Rip Torn’s attempt at a mexican accent). Ryan and Tim had a surprisingly fun time with “Dolly Dearest,” despite its inherent, low-budget trappings. It really hit the sweet spot for Ryan’s sensibilities, and as Tim said: “This movie sucks, but it’s fun.” Earning a “stream” and a “rent,” it also lead Tim to the discovery of ANOTHER original, doll-themed film by none other than Ryan himself!
