Warning: Spoilers
Greta Evans (Lauren Cohan) is hired to care for Brahms at the Heelshire estate. She is surprised to discover Brahams is a doll. The Heelshires go on a holiday and leave Great by herself to take of said doll with a strict set of rules. Greta violates the rules and to her surprise the doll rebels as things and the doll don't stay where they were placed. Being overpaid, Greta develops a relationship with the doll. Malcolm (Rupert Evans) stops by to deliver the groceries and we discover Greta is leaving a bad relationship.

The film had that same eerie factor of a doll moving that we, the audience has come to expect from Chucky to Robert to Puppetmaster to Annabelle. In that regard only Greta was surprised when the doll moved from one place to another. For much of the film, we were subjected to the been there, done that feeling. It wasn't until the last 10-12 minutes that the film grew and I started to love it.

Makes for a good rental.

Guide: Not much swearing. No sex or nudity.
