This week, Leslie and Sam are stepping into the eerie and enchanting world of "Dolls" (1987), a cult horror classic that blends dark fantasy with supernatural terror. Directed by Stuart Gordon, known for his unique approach to horror, "Dolls" takes the familiar concept of creepy toys and elevates it to a new level of suspense and fear.
The film follows a diverse group of travelers who find themselves stranded during a storm and seek refuge in a mysterious mansion. Inside, they meet an elderly couple, played by Guy Rolfe and Hilary Mason, who are master dollmakers. However, these are no ordinary dolls—when night falls, they come to life with a deadly purpose, revealing the mansion as a house of horrors.
And to accompany this twisted tale, our Strain of the Week is Mac 1, a balanced hybrid that's perfect for keeping you engaged with the film's mix of suspense, fantasy, and terror.
