Curse of the Witch's Doll

This is the kind of film that likes to confuse the hell out of you from the start. It changes time frames, character names, brings back people who were dead from the beginning of the film.....but that's ok as you can blame it on a rather cheap looking doll. This will take you on a journey of discovery...the discovery that there are better films out there worth watching. There are no jump scares and it's only slightly atmospheric in places. The film just seems to plod on. I can't help but think it's a major waste of time and I'm glad I got to watch it for free on my Amazon Prime account.

Curse Of The Witch's Doll is an odd film, it's set across three generations and arguably tells three connected stories. Trouble is they aren't connected in an interesting way and none of them are even remotely enjoyable.

We see a woman during the 1940's fleeing the bombings with her daughter, a psychologist with a horrifying secret and your usual ghost hunters investigating an abandoned asylum.

The one thing I will say is that the doll in question is genuinely scary, that thing is deeply disturbing which begs the question why they use a different one on the front cover.

It's about half way through when it all falls apart, you can pinpoint the exact moment. Don't get me wrong it wasn't going anywhere special anyway, but it was at least heading for something generic instead of the mess it wound up as.

Curse Of The Witch's Doll is notable only for the doll itself, nothing else is memorable or entertaining.

The Good:

That doll is horrifying

The Bad:

Cover art is deceptive

Falls apart irreparably

Poorly constructed

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

We need a spinoff from this with that doll, made by different people who know what they're doing.

Yes another Robert the doll type movie with bad acting this one has three stories that should come together but fails to do so

This is the type of movie you get when on a limited budget. Not much horror for a horror movie, but more of a slow burner thriller. It is watchable and the 3 different time periods worked o.k. Acting was decent enough considering the budget restraints they had to pay them with. I'd say give it a shot, just keep in mind this isn't Annabelle.

A young woman and her young daughter moved into a big mansion and strange things starts to happen, which all seems to connect to a old doll.
