    Sad, but true, it's not a good movie.

    Yes, it is sad, but true. Acting was awful, the doll was a better actor than the cast. There were too much moments of uncomfortably silence, when an actor ended a line, the camera still showing actor's expression for a couple of seconds, a waste of time. The idea was good, but the movie was sadly bad. The ending is not bad at all, but this is one of these movies that you must watch alone in your room because you don't want to bore your friends.

    The original history could be better exploited.

    Best wishes and, though it was bad for me, thank you for the movie, it is a work and there is time from everyone on it.

    Highest-Maintenance House-Frau Ever

    Beginning with an obvious rip-off from 'Annabelle', the story orbits the hard-to-like character: wife and mother Jen. Pathetically fragile, self-involved, demanding, and laden with First-World problems - a victim before the film even begins.

    The actress turns in a good performance but some poor choices were made with the portrayal. With it being so difficult to get on-side with her, any suspense is lost in favour of sadistic hope.

    The child actor is nearly as wooden as the doll. It's distracting, whenever he has a line we're reminded that "this is a movie". It fails as a horror with more unintended laughs than scares.

    Embarrasingly bad...

    The first thing to note is the acting. Honestly, it was so terrible that I could barely concentrate on what was going on in the film. I was genuinely repulsed by how pathetic it was.

    Second of all, the doll that Robert is based on looks absolutely nothing like this one. As it is based on a true story, you would at least expect them to know what the doll looks like! It was like looking at a doll from a different story entirely.

    But, the most important thing to note is just how lame the horror is. It's never good when you watch a horror movie and spend the whole time laughing at how terrible it is. The death scenes look like something out of a comedy in which the acting is deliberately bad for effect.

    I spent £3 on this DVD from ASDA, and it was such a waste of money even at this small price! Please, don't waste your time watching this poor excuse for a movie.

    Doll looked familiar

    I dont know if it was just me or did the Robert doll sort of look like Willem Dafoe? Great movie to watch on a 2X or 4X speed it makes the show more entertaining.

    Do Not Bother

    This film is really slow. Supposed to be scary, bugs bunny is scarier. Acting is terrible, there doesn't really seem to be a plot. Guessthe were trying to cash in on the Annebelle phenomenon. This has to be in the top 5 of the worst movies I've ever seen and I've seen some really really bad films. I had to watch to the end to see if it got any better, but believe me it didn't.
