Storyline

After Paul and Jenny part company with their sinister housekeeper Agatha, the disgruntled former employee gives a vintage doll called Robert to their son Gene. Soon after Agatha's departure, strange events begin plaguing the household. Furniture is vandalized, objects are thrown around and maniacal giggles echo through the house in the middle of the night. But nobody believes Gene when he claims Robert is to blame for the disturbances. Paul and Jenny consider the possibility that a supernatural force has taken over their home. But as the occurrences escalate they discover that it's not the house that's haunted... it's the doll. Written by North Bank Entertainment

pleasantly surprised!
28 August 2015 | by (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews

I wasn't expecting much after some people trashed it but was pleasantly surprised to see how good the film actually was. It takes place in one house most of the film which gives it a decent claustrophobia and tension. The story doesn't carry many surprises if you've seen these doll possessed films before but there is added tension with the father and mother characters, an argumentative pair who are like a bomb waiting to go off for half the film. The suspense is pretty well done, lots of bits that reminded me of the opening scene of Halloween (original not crappy remake) and the ending was a rip of Halloween 4. A few performances are a bit hammy, but for the most part the actors play it serious and do an okay job. Films like this are clearly done with not much money to cash in so when one turns out to be quite well crafted it's well worth giving it some due. It's not perfect, but then I didn't need it to be to enjoy it. The films has a lot of good things going for it.
