The Curse of Humpty Dumpty

I'm almost lost for words. I've seen some bad movies in my time, especially horror ones, this could actually be the very worst. I'll give it a generous two instead of one only because admittedly I have seen worse acting but that's not saying a lot really. I'd rather watch paint dry honestly. How I badly wish I could get that 90 minutes of my life back.

Watched this last night and came away with the same thought after I had watched Jack In The Box.

Which is, there is more tension when you just see the dolls. The tension goes fast out of the door as soon as you see a person dressed as the dolls.

Both films had this in it and it wrecked the movie for me.

I did enjoy this movie but it could have been a whole lot better if they didn't have a person dressed as Humpty Dumpty. The film makers should have kept it at the creepy doll style story.

Overall a missed opportunity, shame really because the actors and actresses were all fine in the movie.

Started off sort of ok. However after 30 minutes I realised it was going to make my head hurt.

The acting was fairly good, but the horror parts were free and far between. One of the worst parts was when the police were called. When the officer turned up, it was as if the props person had raided a primary school's fancy dress box. I've seen a 6 year old make a better police costume.

I did watch the whole film, as I was intrigued to how it would end, but I admit I did fast forward all the boring and pointless bits.

However, I'm not going to spoil the ending as I want others to suffer watching this like I did.

A British indie addition to the 'killer doll' wave of low budget horror, and it's absolutely awful with it. This is a gloomy and underlit production centred around a ridiculous-looking humpty dumpty doll which appears to be based on the vampire look in BLADE II. Why anyone, sane or otherwise, would choose to own such a horrific-looking doll is beyond me. The thing that annoys most is that it's just a full-size costume with a guy inside, no attempt has been made to make it look properly doll-sized. Most of the running time is padded out with a depressing story about an elderly woman sliding into dementia.

So I was expecting the movie to be a B grade horror, one of those movies so stupid it's funny, but it wasn't at all.

But it was unexpectedly a decent movie.

Worth watching, the acting was good, and the story was pretty good too.
