Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
insomniac_rod Now I have to admit it... "Joey" gave me the creeps as a child. Before watching it in recent times, I thought about it as a chilling, fairy tale of terror.Now, to be objective, "Joey" is a movie that should be enjoyed by a younger audience because it's indeed a movie directed for a younger audience. Not to be redundant but as a kid you are easily impressed and scared by things like talking dummies or evil dolls."Joey" isn't meant to be scary and now as a grown-up I can only recommend it for a younger audience or for fans of movies involving dummies.Still, I am pleased with the good memories I have towards this movie.
xiria73 My girlfriend has a large VHS library she's trying to convert to DVD, but there are some films she's going to have a hard time finding, especially this one. Without looking at the box I was able to watch this movie and pinpoint the year of its release (The E.T. glass, the R.O.T.J. bed sheets and especially the teacher's Velcro shoes were dead giveaways to the production date). Fletcher was a good moment to reminisce about the official Lester dummy I used to have. I found out the hard way my girlfriend is deathly afraid of ventriloquist dummies. This movie was not among her faves when she was a kid because of this. My only complaints about the movie was a flub early in the movie, when Joey is picking up his backpack and you can clearly see the name "Josh" written on the baseball patch on the bag. Then there's the little black boy who conveniently disappears when the fit hits the shan only to turn up for the movie's lackluster finale. Smart move, kid. All in all, a decent movie for its time, but it's no Mac and Me, and that's saying a lot.
scarybookfan up until about a couple of days ago I had no idea what this movie was called.Afew days ago someone answered 1 of my question/comment about the movie Magic.That steered me in the right direction.I am glad that person knew this movie because I'm 28 and I don't want to still be thinking about the title of it. It scared me into frantic!!To this day I still don't like them but in some weird way i am compelled.I ordered it so I should be getting it in the mail.Can't wait!I am pretty sure this is the movie...WOW. I rated it a 10 because from my earliest memories it was awesome.Tales From The Crypt (HBO)had an episode called My Brothers Keeper. It had (I think it had Don Rickles and definitely Bob Golthwait). And to this day I consider it Terrifying! There is a Old twilight zone episode with a dummy in it. Does anyone know what the title of it is??
cloydesyfox I first seen this movie when I was only 9 years old and it scared the crap out of me! I think we all have a little weak spot for dolls. They just creep people out for some reason. This movie is by no means scary though.For a kids movie it is quite good ... I think it has a good dark side to the movie and yet it not too disturbing. I know the movie is a bit far-fetched but what do you expect when you rent or buy this type of film? A documentary? Anyway ... I think this movie is definitely worth watching if you like horror movies and are looking for something a little different. Plus special guest appearance by Darth Vader! PeAcE
