Robert did it!
Not since 'Childs Play' has a doll been this mischievous, this terrifying, and, Holy hell - this damn UGLY. Okay, so the film is anything but terrifying. It's pretty bad, actually. There's been so many bad haunted doll films throughout the years, including the more recent 'Annabelle,' we can only hope this won't become another trend in the horror genre. The story is simple, and completely ridiculous, since it's supposed to be based on actual events. It's basically a cheaply made 'Childs Play' crossed with 'Pinocchio's Revenge' mixed with a little 'Dolly Dearest.' You can clearly see the influence these films had on Andrew Jones. It's nice to be influenced by your favorite films, but to miss the mark this badly? You have to do better than that. As for 'Robert' - I'm not sure what the real doll looks like, but the 'Robert' in this film looks like a ventriloquist dummy with down syndrome. It's more hilarious than frightening.
The film, the story, the doll - they're all ridiculous, and poorly done. This film makes ''Annabelle'' look like the best horror film in the last ten years - and I assure you that is not the case at all.
Random Ramblings of a Madman: 'Chucky' from the original 'Childs Play' film was frightening - and that's not something you can easily accomplish when it comes to killer doll horror. Even more unlikely, you can turn a story like that into a good film - Tom Holland accomplished both, but it's time for the rest of you writer/directors to put the toys away, and move on to something more sinister. Because Tom Holland, you are not.
