Reviews

ThiefHott Too much of everything
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Stevieboy666 When a successful couple fire their housekeeper she gets revenge by gifting their young son (played by Flynn Allen, who is probably the best actor here) an ugly doll named Robert, which happens to be cursed, bringing misery to the family. Having previously seen some of the director's other movies I had low expectations for "Robert" & unsurprisingly it turned out to be another turd. Right from the start the shaky camerawork made me feel queasy. The wooden acting is not helped by the bad script. Despite being a British film the makers decided to pepper it with random American characters, most of whom have very unconvincing accents (bad acting). Robert himself is pretty creepy looking & no doubt in better hands this could have potential but so far I am yet to see an Andrew Jones movie that isn't terrible. My only consolations were that watching this didn't cost me a penny - just my time - and I have recently seen an even worse doll movie, "Anna" (2017). Somehow this has spawned several sequels, but then so did Killjoy.
sharonsailerandrews Where is his sailor suit? Where is the little bug-eyed dog that the real Robert holds in his arms, a dog whose expression seems to scream for release? This doll looks like a plasticine meat loaf that got run over by a couple of semis. Part of the creepiness of the original doll is that it manages to combine age and innocence, including a pock-marked face that makes you think this child's toy might have had some congress with syphilitic prostitutes in foreign ports of call. Neither of the parents in the movie has the least appeal; they are defensive, emotionally constipated, whiny idiots who should never have been allowed to breed in the first place. Twenty-five minutes into the plot, you find yourself wondering where this thing called a plot is. It doesn't get any better. This sucker is turgid; it moves at the pace of a 15-part BBC adaptation of a long-forgotten British novel about people who have nothing much to do with their time. I wound up hoping Robert would kill all of them just to rescue us from the tedium.
bomenorange I gave this movie one star just for trying their best and made a 90min clip. First lets just talk about the weird looking doll, a 6 year old kid can make a better stuffed doll than this one, it's lame and not scary at all, well maybe just the face. Anyway i waited very much to see it move or try something scary but it barely moved during the entire movie, it was just sitting on the chair most of the movie.And of course you can't but notice the amateur acting and the boring side story of the family and the unnecessary events.To sum it all they had a good story elements for a good horror movie (a scary isolated house, hunted doll, and the old house maid witch).
Paul Riley I thought I would give this film a chance. After watching 30 minutes I was wanting to turn it off it was so bad. It was slow and not a lot happening what killed it was the pathetic acting and terrible scripting. The entire story has been ripped from other movies.It appears that because this film is English that English people feel inclined to say this is a good movie which it is not.I wonder if any of the people that love this movie have ulterior motives so many new accounts.A creepy wooden doll with more of a wooden execution...
