A lot of fun.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

This begins with an introduction scene where a couple who employed a house-keeper that owns Robert the Doll are now at breaking point because of weird happenings and have decided to get rid of her...and "Robert". The story then moves on to a new family who have employed the same house-keeper, for the last couple of years, but want to get rid of her because she's forgetful and is becoming a bit of a nuisance, in her position. After being fired she gets pretty upset and gives Robert the Doll to the family's young son as a parting gift - I thought this was a bit harsh, to be honest.This is like a very amateur (but enjoyable to me) attempt at crossing Chucky with Anabelle. If you enjoyed those movies and don't have your expectations set too high (as it has a 3.3 rating you probably won't, anyway) you might get through this. Although the acting and the plot is pretty lame it does carry the haunted doll atmosphere quite well. I've given this a 4/10 because I managed to get to end, otherwise it would have got a 2 or 3. Apart from a few frustrating "seriously!!!???" moments this wasn't too bad. If anyone remembers the British TV series, (Roald Dahl's) "Tales of the Unexpected", back in the late 70's, early 80's, then this is a similar kind of production, quality-wise.

I don't normally write film reviews but feel like I owe it to potential watchers of this movie to write one. First of all, the people that gave this movie 7/8 put of 10.. have you ever actually seen a decent horror movie?!The acting if you can call it that was beyond terrible. Literally painful and cringey to watch. Felt like they were all auditioning for a commercial or something. This could have been so much better had they used decent actors and a slightly bigger budget. Also did anyone notice that the movie was filmed inside a hotel?! Nothing about the movie felt genuine and I didn't expect much from the movie but didn't realize it would be this bad!Please save yourselves the time and watch a proper horror movie instead. 'The Boy' for example is a great doll horror with a great twist.

This movie makes "Chucky" look like "Lawrence of Arabia." Definitely choose something else. You could actually make a drinking game out of spotting plot holes and continuity problems. It feels like a feature length student project. Also, why does the boy's bedroom seem as though it is inside the hall closet? My 12 year old daughter tore this one to shreds, and although we will never get the 2 hours back after watching this bore-fest, it was fun picking it apart. She spotted a camera operator in one of the mirrors in one scene. We got a few good laughs out of it. Actually, the end of the second act is hilarious.On second thought, if you look at this as a comedy, it bumps it up t about a 6.5/7 point movie. So, it's all subjective. Enjoy!

Obviously an effort to make a British Chucky but a lot better than it had any right to be. I think this story did a better job than the original Chucky to make it questionable whether or not the doll is really alive or whether the whole thing is the mother's psychotic imagination. If you can get into that part of the film then it's an enjoyable enough psychological thriller. The lead character of the mother comes off as unhinged sometimes and if you think about it the whole film could easily have been her fantasy. But people are probably more interested in seeing the doll in action. A higher body count would have won it more fans.
