Dolls is Stuart Gordon’s 1986 storm-night creep-out where a reclusive doll-making couple’s antique playthings come lethally alive, turning childhood toys into something far less innocent. Its Mr. Punch leans straight into the old Punch-and-Judy archetype—hook-nosed, hunchbacked, red-faced glove-puppet jester with a squeaky swazzle voice, ruffled white shirt, baggy breeches, and a wicked grin that reads as charming until the lights go down.
