A non-exhaustive synopsis can be found on the net, which does not help one understand whether the film in question is actually a doll movie or not. One suspects that it is since the title, Worry Dolls, is also the name for small, colorful cloth dolls, the Guatemalan Worry Dolls precisely, which, according to tradition, are said to free those who have them from worries. In fact, to wake up serene, it is enough to talk about one's fears to a worry doll Before putting it back under the pillow and sleeping.
Incidentally, there is a doll movie about this type of doll, Dangerous Worry Dolls, made by Charles Band in 2008. In the meantime, we leave one of the first images found on the net, depicting a little girl with a rag doll.
