The plot centers around a group of unlucky people, who are stranded in the middle of nowhere during a violent thunderstorm. Judy is a young girl who is traveling by car with her snooty, abusive parents: her thuggish father and her wealthy, unloving stepmother. Also there is a kindly, mild-mannered, naive businessman named Ralph, who picks up two female punk rock hitchhikers. All six potential victims wind up at a huge mansion inhabited by Gabriel and Hilary Hartwicke, a couple of disturbingly charming, elderly people who appear to be toymakers. Indeed, their house literally abounds with dolls, puppets, and other beautifully detailed toys.

One by one, some of the overnight guests are attacked by many dolls who turn out to be cursed, immoral people that have been killed and imprisoned in toys to pay for their crimes by the owners of the house, who are actually witches. Judy’s father and stepmother end up being killed by the dolls for their lack of love towards their daughter, while the two female punks are also punished for trying to steal antiques from the house. However, since the dolls like those who are pure at heart (like Judy) or young at heart (like Ralph), they are spared, although Ralph was almost also killed by the dolls for trying to brutishly proved the dolls aren’t alive.

The movie ends with Ralph and Judy leaving the house together after being bid farewell by Gabriel and Hilary, who even invite them to come back whenever they want, knowing they show respect to the childhood world and its mysteries. As they both drive away from the mansion, another car with another family with a set of unruly parents suddenly arrives and breaks down, seemingly stuck in the mud, yards from it. Read more
