Charles Band needs an intervention. Seriously. His latests “killer toys” flick, Dangerous Worry Dolls (2008), about tiny dolls that help you exact revenge by CRAWLING INSIDE YOUR BRAIN AND CONTROLLING YOUR ACTIONS, can’t be interpreted as anything but a cry for help.

‘Dangerous Worry Dolls’ is surely a title translated from the Japanese.

How do you do this? I mean, you sit through Charles Band film after Charles Band film, enduring what must be sheer, relentless tedium, watching as the mere minutes stretch into hours.
It can’t be healthy, surely.

I brought this up to one of the B-masters, who promptly responded that he didn’t understand what I was talking about.

It’s because of the tiny doll’s in their heads, “must…buy….Full Moon…movie…”

I can’t believe Band hasn’t made a movie yet in which a group of generic movie gangbangers are menaced by possessed Homiez figures. Hell, that’s the entire script right there!

Realistically speaking, I’d imagine the Homiez character license in and of itself would cost at least three-quarters of what Band usually spends making a movie these days.

And Charlie does these things so he can sell his own tie-in merchandise, not advertise someone else’s.

Well, not Homiez speicifally, but if the gumball machines in New York were any indication, there were about a dozen “me too!” variations under various names. So he could have just called them “Hoodziez” or something.
