erist80 It was just awful, really bad acting , script and just seemed like it was written in 10 minutes , it seemed like a low budget film , no actors that we knew and its based on true events but doesn't seem like it is and that it is made up it was just a joke of a film , we turned it of after 20 minutes as it was so slow to get into it

darksyde-63508 Like "Annabelle" Robert is based on a supposed true story that you can look up on Google. The two stories are almost identical. And both dolls are locked up in glass boxes in museums, both of them with "Do not open under any circumstances" signs on their glass cases This movie desperately wants to be along the lines of "Annabelle",or even "Child's Play". The fact of the matter is, the movie just isn't very good. Its a bargain bin budget, and it shows. Unlike most low budget horror flicks, this is very talky, and it has a very low body count. I think there's only three at the most. If you wanna watch a good "killer doll" horror movie, stick with the staples like "Child's Play", "Dolls," "Dolly Dearest", or even The "Puppet Master" or "Demonic Toys" series. Skip this one unless you have nothing better to watch.

Michael O'Keefe Andrew Jones writes and directs this creepy tale of the supernatural. The story is claimed to be true. Paul(Lee Bane)and Jenny(Suzie Garton)are having enough problems dealing with Jenny's illness. Paul has clients to deal with in town, while Jenny uses her time painting in her home studio. Young son Gene(Flynn Allen)spends a lot his time in his room and there is the housekeeper Agatha(Judith Haley)that takes care of the home and sees after the boy. Jenny grows tired of the forgetful cleaning woman and demands she leave. Before Agatha departs, she leaves Gene with a vintage doll named Robert. An ugly sight to look upon, but the boy likes Robert the doll. The old woman tells Jenny that she would be sorry. Soon, terror begins about the household and young Gene will tell of his talking to Robert. And when Robert doesn't like you, he does something about it.Not totally uninteresting, but with better actors this film could have been something to talk about. Filmed in Wales, I would have expected maybe some fog, rain or howling winds that could have aided in a scarier atmosphere. Robert the doll is creepy enough to look at, but the music is outstandingly spooky. Kudos to the trailers for making me watch this.

Simon Clarke Beginning with an obvious rip-off from 'Annabelle', the story orbits the hard-to-like character: wife and mother Jen. Pathetically fragile, self-involved, demanding, and laden with First-World problems - a victim before the film even begins.The actress turns in a good performance but some poor choices were made with the portrayal. With it being so difficult to get on-side with her, any suspense is lost in favour of sadistic hope.The child actor is nearly as wooden as the doll. It's distracting, whenever he has a line we're reminded that "this is a movie". It fails as a horror with more unintended laughs than scares.
