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
