The doll animatronics are gloriously unhinged rubber-faced nightmare fuel.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released seven months before Child's Play 3, yet everyone forgot it existed. The doll's name is literally Dolly Dearest. Marketing genius or sabotage?
The Sanzia mythology was invented for this film, but the Mexican setting and Lupe Ontiveros's performance ground the nonsense in something almost respectful.
