The Revenge of Robert the Doll

I've watched a couple of the Robert movies, and yes, they are dire, but oddly entertaining. The acting is mostly dreadful, and the storylines are weak. The main gripe for me though, is the complete lack of authenticity with regard to the sets. This film is supposedly set in Nazi Germany, yet the cottage and the train station they used are so obviously somewhere in England. The station signs are in English, the train is English, the interior of the cottage is typically English, the countryside looks English.

Then there's the toy maker's makeup. In order to make him appear old, they have applied heavy makeup to his face. Unfortunately it looks like he has had an accident with some playdoh.

I actually gave up on this half way through as there was no sign of Robert. All in all, simply awful.

As the title says, where was he? Oh right: he appears an hour into the movie for 2 minutes and has 2 scenes. Terrible. The beginning of this movie is 40 minutes too long. What's happening has nothing to do with Robert/toy maker, and doesn't really tie in. All the films in the franchise are awful, but this is the worst so far. Hopefully with how the movie ends they won't make any more.

Well were can I start, name and shame is the best possible way to stop this self proposed movie director/ producer .... Andrew Jones..... what a complete waist of space in the digital pixel world of film making. Were is he getting the cash for this tripe is he a bored millionaire, or are there real idiots putting there hard earned into this garbage. This film is a travesty of a mockery of a sham of a mockery of a travesty of two mockeries of a sham.

This one was a bit of a let down. A straight sequal to the previous one with our toymaker now evading the germans and others that wish him dead on a train. The beginning of the film takes a detor and goes further back in time to the 30s when the book was even before the events of the last film. There is to much time with this part meaning by the time we get to the train there is not much left. Lee bans role of the toymaker was once again enjoyable and I liked his fighting skills. Just wish there was more of the dolls this time around which took away from the film. But it was still good in its own way,

Robert (2015) was a really quite terrible effort at a killer doll horror movie which somehow someway has had a sequel every year since. So here we are on part 4 and unsurprisingly I wasn't excited to see it.

The first 3 movies amassed nine out of a potential 30 points from me here on IMDB, the best by far being the third.

Here we see the Toymaker on the run from german forces, all eager to get hold of his book and the secrets it contains. If you're watching for killer doll action then you're not going to be happy, the dolls probably make up around 2 minutes of the film total. This is not a film about Robert at all.

Once again it has strong vibes of the Puppet Master (1989) franchise, but fails to live up to even their lackluster quality.

With shoddy effects, ridiculous prosthetics and a generic script this is another dud for the series.

The Good:

Well scored

Archive footage

The Bad:

Most pathetic German accents I've ever heard

Weak sfx

Badly false advertised

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Somewhere along the way the creators thought people would be happy with a killer doll movie with no actual killer doll action
