The story is basically a rehash of other doll movies,
combining elements of Annabelle, Dolls,
the Chucky series, and the Puppet Master
series. The first act is super slow and it never ramps up, with a very limited
body count and few scares. It adds an investigation into the mix as well, which
reminded me of what the filmmakers of the U.S. version of The Ring did. There are many things that the characters do or
certain events that take place that were either questionable or didn’t make
sense at all.
This was written, directed, and produced by Andrew Jones.
Unfortunately, the look of this movie is as poor as the script. The colors look
dull and watered down. It’s hard to tell if it was due to the lighting, film or
camera problems, or some other type of issue. Either way, it leads to the color
in this picture being uneven throughout.
The acting is just average. The actress portraying the “final
girl” is uninspiring and no one ever delves deep into showing the true terror
that you should come to expect in the horror genre. The doll does look kind of
creepy, although I would suggest that they made a poor decision in the way that
it was crafted. It looks less like an actual doll or ventriloquist dummy and
more like an attempt to manufacture an ugly and creepy sculpture. Robert the
doll doesn’t convey emotion like other scary dolls or puppets tend to do, so
there isn’t much there to be scared of when he’s moving around.

Bottom line; you should avoid this motion picture at all
costs. If you want some to be scared by some evil or possessed dolls, revisit
one of the old classics.
