Plot
A teenage rapper uses his Grandmother's ancient voodoo (magic of the killing kind) to help him in his revenge against those responsible for her death. However, he will learn that there is a deadly price to be paid for calling upon the dark spirit that has possessed a ragdoll and turned it into a murderous demon.
Production
The film was originally announced in 1992, but it did not begin pre-production until 1999. Charles Band stated that rumors that Paramount had shut down production of the film were untrue; he chose not to shoot the film, as he felt that it needed more time to develop.
Release
Big City Records, a music label owned by Full Moon, released an associated soundtrack, Ragdoll: Music Inspired By The Motion Picture. This was the label's first release.
Reception
Dread Central thought highly of the edited version of the film for Devil Dolls, writing "here’s a halfway decent story here and some enjoyably hammy acting bolstering it".
