Warning: Spoilers
Clocking in at approximately 1 hr and 11 minutes, "Doll Graveyard" is nothing more than an hour and a half television special minus the commercials.

In Los Angeles in 1911, a young girl and her incredibly eerie and ugly dolls fall victim to her over-zealous father who for some reason doesn't want her playing in the hallway.

Fast forward to Los Angeles in 2005, and a new family has moved into the property. A single father, his incredibly nerdish son and bratty daughter. The father goes out on a date, the daughter invites friends, the son finds one of the dolls in the backyard. They come to life and protect the kid, as the spirit of the girl tries to inhabit him, as the dolls go on a murderous rampage against the daughter and her friends.

Full Moon Entertainment is probably best known for their highly successful "Puppet Master" movies, and "Doll Graveyard" is like "Puppet Master"-light. It's missing the story, the character development and it's way too short to make you care about anyone. Not to mention the fact that they discover the first body almost immediately, yet no one runs out of the house.

If you got a little time to kill, pop in this film. It's nothing great by any means of the imagination, but it's a good way to mindlessly kill a little bit of time.
