It will always be a mystery to me, why these kind of movies get made. Setting things up in nazi Germany around the 1940s usually goes 2 ways. It will be either extremely authentic with a lot of love to details, focussing on the cruel mindset of the fanatically following soldiers, or, just as we can see in this movie as simply another one of countless examples out there, with the main focus on crappy German accent throughout the entire dialogue lines, preferably adding nothing special to the plot and already were annoying at times of Indiana Jones and such alikes. Just because there are actors like Schwarzenegger (I know, Austrian origin, but the point remains the same), who never ever felt the need to visit a language class to get rid of this accent after living in the US for decades, it doesn't justify a movie made in 2018 to still base entire fims on this atrocity of a conversation tool. And The Revenge of Robert the Doll delivers basically only that. Terrible lines, horrible acting, bad effects and no scares whatsoever throughout the entire film. People get asked a question in this dismembered English and answer back in German. Several times with the lousy cliche "nein". Someone at some point found this funny for no reason. Imagine a country constantly jiggeling over a "no" for almost a century. Your only thought will be: What the...? I can honestly say that I had this thought all the way through, no matter what the movie brought up. On top they like to throw in some other German vocabulary and then it becomes even worse. These actors were not even able to pronounce the words or names of the cities correctly. For sakes of authenticity please use real Germans (even if it might just be for a quick voice over) or stick to your guns and do it in your native tongue. Whatever you do, stop pretending! In this movie there was only one woman fluent in the language and she was not even relevant to the plot. What a sad summary. This is one of the worst films I have ever seen. I never saw the other parts and that seems to be a good thing after this wasted 1 hour and 20 minutes. You can call this a Horror movie, but only because everything in it was aweful. Not to use the phrase horrible.
