Returning home from college, a dropout trying to reconnect with her family to decide what she wants to do with her life starts to believe a family curse involving a witch curse and a dangerous living doll is the cause of a series of strange visions she has forcing her to uncover the truth.
This is a dull and generally uneventful effort without much going for it. The fact that there's just nothing happening for long spells in the film with only the intermittent dreams about a masked figure going around the compound killing her in various positions around the house grounds which get intriguing enough only to be essentially written off as her just acting up based on the troubled nature she has coming home. This goes along with a series of listless, boring, and flat-out dull interactions that take place with the family going from their history together or trying to put her down for dropping out of college which are so plodding there's little about this that becomes interesting or enjoyable. That these manage to overwhelm the film's running time for so long means it has nothing in the way of genuine horror thrills for nearly the entire running time. With the focus on setting up banal family melodrama interspersed with just slight glimpses of an admittedly creepy wooden doll looming around the property, it becomes a struggle to stay invested in this one as nothing is going on outside of conversations for the most part. It picks up slightly in the finale when it finally decides to introduce a witch controlling everything going on and brings about some violence in their interactions with everyone while also showing some disharmony with everyone to create some mistrust, but it's all too little too late to save this dull and cheap-looking piece.
Rated Unrated/R: Violence and Graphic Language.
