Robert The Doll (2015) was a weak messy British horror so I was hugely surprised to see it spawn a sequel. Wait did I say sequel? I meant sequels, because at time of writing there are no less than four Robert movies.

Now for those of you unfamiliar Robert is based upon a real doll, a doll that inspired the existence of Childs Plays own Chucky. But make no mistake these movies are not on the same level, not even remotely.

What I find odd is that they don't use the real Roberts appearance because that is considerably scarier. Seriously, it's like a cabbage patch doll imitating leather face!

Well Robert The Doll is fresh off his last killing spree and is now an exhibit in a museum. It's not l.ong until he returns to his old ways and it comes down to the buildings security guards and newly recruited cleaner to save the day.

To it's credit it does remain consistent and even includes a cast member from the original. Sadly this doesn't make up for everything else being beyond awful.

The Good:

Meh

The Bad:

Pretty much everything

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

I still struggle to find a doll even remotely feasible

I need alcohol if I'm going to weather the next two films

Probably like me you got suckered into watching this, by the brilliant cover art on the DVD but that is about all the quality you will find, with this 'Robert' sequel. It's a shoddy, low budget affair with bad special effects and even worse acting. The story of a cursed doll is actually quite tantalizing but this is just a very poor and dull effort.

I must start out with a warning of sorts. Don't lured in by this movie, which obviously just cashes in on the success of "Annabelle".

The storyline in this movie was pointless and really uneventful.

The characters were essentially one-dimensional cardboard cut outs that you don't care about or invest any energy in.

The doll itself looked like something that was made by someone in primary school. And it was painstakingly clear that all the scenes with the doll was just some person holding it and moving its arms or legs. it was all so very, very low key.

This low budget horror movie is not worth the time or effort. I actually sat through it to the end but drifted off two or three times along the way. And I actually found myself with my attention on the phone a lot throughout the course of the snoozefest that is "The Curse of Robert the Doll".

Right, let's be honest, it's no Annabelle, but in this second outing, Robert is now housed in a museum, and of course causes mayhem when the new cleaner arrives.

I'm not sure why expectations from some were seemingly quite high, surely they must have seen the first?

It's low budget, it's silly, but it's not without some level of charm, I liked the accompanying music, it was definitely a little creepy, and atmospheric.

The acting, was decent I thought, some of it was good, some was average.

Robert, if only he could have been a little more animated, he was perhaps a little static, his footsteps were rather cute I thought.

I loved the atmosphere of the opening and closing scenes, and that security guard was very cute.

It wasn't bad, 5/10.

Literally nothing to get you invested in the movie. The story is aimless and boring, the characters acting is stiff and dull. Like they were filming a school project.

The so called "cursed" doll looks like a bad paper craft and looks like someone awkwardly "playing dolls" with a child in every scene.

Would also like to point out that for 2016 the SFX are.. abysmal. Like I'm pretty sure an actual child could make better looking blood/guts with tissue paper and red paint.

I could complain for hours but not even worth it.

A very slight improvement over the first film. But I mean slight. The action shifts to the modern day, where Robert's now a museum exhibit, except of course he's still up to no good. The acting's still cringy but not quite so much, and the inspiration seems to be CHILD'S PLAY which gives this one more of a slasher film feel.

The story is played out some years after the first movie. This time with Emily Barker. A student who takes a night job at a museum to pay of loans. Unfortanly for her this is the new home for Robert the doll. After a while working as a cleaner, Emily starts getting a feeling something's wrong in the museum. she is not wrong.

I love horror movies and i was so scared for dolls after seeing Chucky many years ago. Unfortanly this movie is nothing like Chucky or the newer Annabell. The first movie was badly written. Slow going Forward. The characters never felt realistic when they talked to each other and when the doll was on screen it was so bad it made you laugh. This movie is not better. The characters are still bad. The doll still just look so foolish and the story is so slow. Nothing happens the first 25 minutes.

If you as me love horror movies with killing dolls. Watch Chucky or The boy instead. Light years better than this school project.

A young woman takes a job on the night shift in a small curio museum. When her coworkers' bodies begin piling up, the prime suspect is one of the displays, a hideous doll which is purported to be possessed.

Very loosely based on a real story (relocated from early 20th century Florida to contemporary Britain), the original "Robert" was a tedious movie, paced at the speed of evolution, with characters who behaved idiotically and cheaper effects than the worst of the Charles Band killer-doll flicks. This time around, the pace is a little better (though it still takes far too long to get going), the characters are slightly more likable (a returning cast member steps up their game and the rest of the performances are decent) and the effects are... well, about the same. Frankly, it's a case of been there, done that, seen it - and much better. But sadly, I've also seen much worse. The biggest problem with these films is that suspense isn't handled well, it's draaaaagged out to the point of boredom and the payoff generally sucks.

It's sort of a shame that this trilogy (a third film is slated to be released next year) has been so painfully mediocre, cuz it's kind of disrespectful to the real Robert, who deserves a more faithful telling of his bizarre tale. Still, this sequel's a few rungs above the original, so perhaps the third film might actually be good.

I'd seen the first movie, and Robert was so sexy I had to watch the next one. The first one made me wet the bed because I was having nightmares (I'm a 52 year old). I showed it to my wife, Doris, and now she wants a divorce, Robert is that brilliant. The second one was amazing, the acting deserving of oscars, and the storyline was so original I don't know where they get it from. Lots of the movie shows Robert behind a glass case so you can see his delicious rocking bod. My favourite part is the end where he gets in a silly goofy mood and stabs lots of people, terrifying but how could you not love this hotsicle. Robert is my favourite film, because it's so scary. This brings me to tears, he's what I aspire to be.

This Robert sequel is not as bad as some ratings claim, The story is well tied as a nice follow up to the first movie. There's no huge story here because it's like a bridge between part 1 and 3, also it's mainly based on the true legend of Robert the doll in the museum. Yet the film is enjoyable to watch and fast based, also the ending was very cool and unexpected.

Just not good. Not very original and I think even a documentary about Robert The Doll is scarier. Bad effects among other things just come off as negative. Since I know quite a bit about the real Robert The Doll I didn't find it very impressive.

After terrorising a schizo mother and her family in the original film the second outing for robert the doll starts with him taken out of a police evidence room and ending up in a crappy museum where he starts killing the security guards and cleaners. I didn't have high hopes for this one after the distinctly average first outing but thought there was a big improvement. This one is more of a run of the mill slasher but there is far better acting with two young leads who are quite good and entertaining characters like the museum owner and the cop. No effort to be psychological and the doll just slices through the cast one by one. So the story doesn't have much to it but the final ten minutes has the best scenes in both films with the Toymaker. Overall a much improved effort.

I just experienced the misfortune of watching this horrible, poor excuse of a movie. It's not scary at all, and I found myself rolling my eyes several times. The acting is poor, but the writing is even worse. Who on Earth allowed this movie to see the light of day?

I wondered who they made this film for and so watched it to waste over an hour of my life. Acting terrible plot non existent and yet they made a way to continue this garbage by the end of movie

Was drawn into seeing 'The Curse of Robert the Doll', with a cool poster/cover, an intriguing though far from original premise and as someone with a general appreciation for the genre it fits under. That it was low-budget, which from frequent personal experience is rarely a good sign due to that there are so many poor ones out there (though there are decent to good ones as well), made me though apprehensive.

It is sadly however yet another film seen recently, hence some reiteration because the exact same strengths and flaws present in those films are here, that to me was incredibly disappointing considering its potential which it doesn't do anywhere near enough with. 'The Curse of Robert the Doll' is really very bad, with so many huge flaws and doesn't do anywhere near enough with its potential, which was quite a good deal. There is very little good here in 'The Curse of Robert the Doll', which was seen by me hearing that it was better than the first. Actually for me they're on the same level and the flaws are exactly the same too.

Only the titular doll passes muster as a redeeming quality, he is quite creepy at times and it is a shame that the rest of the film isn't.

Going on to the negatives, the story does feel over-stretched and some of it comes over as vague and under-explained in the last third where the film especially became duller, more predictable, more senseless and less unsettled and never gaining momentum. All the characters are too sketchy and with cardboard thin and colourless personalities and with nowhere near enough to make one want to endear to them. Their annoying and illogical decision making and behaviours frustrates. The chemistry is bland and unfocused.

The sound quality is obvious and utilised cheaply (being too loud in the build ups and people's reactions), the effects are laughable and all of the acting is lacking severely on the whole, that's actually an understatement as the worst of it is horrendous from especially the mother. There is no sense of horror or engagement with the awful predicament they're in, and no connecting with the character, it just reeks of indifference which makes the viewer not care less too.

Dialogue can be stilted and rambling while the pace and film drags on forever, apparent from the very start, never recovering that interest is lost fast. The ending has no build-up and just ends ridiculously. Found too many of the supposedly shocking moments not surprising or scary and the atmosphere dreary, due to the excessive obviousness, a lot of dumb and vague moments and explanations and the lack of tension and suspense. Thrills are none, thanks to stodginess and excessive over-familiarity, and found myself never invested in the drama, which tended to be indifferently acted, interminably paced and statically directed.

A lot of 'The Curse of Robert the Doll' has really dull and going nowhere plot elements and often nonsensical and confusing character motivations, while too many of the things to make you shocked are far from creative or unsettling. It all feels rather tame.

Nothing freaky or interesting, no development and too derivative, while everything is unimaginative and are more odd than scary, completely failing to show any sense of dread. There is nothing interesting or illuminating with what the film was trying to do and the drama is overwrought with no momentum and a lot of weirdness. The direction is leaden, got the sense their heart was not in it, and the music is ill-fitting. 'The Curse of Robert the Doll' is very amateurish visually, too drearily lit and shows no care in the way it's shot. The editing has more continuity errors than one can count.

Altogether, very poor. 2/10 Bethany Cox

... seems more fitting.

Hopefully you can make it to your fall-out shelter before ever watching this bomb.

Terrible acting accompanied by UTTERLY TERRIBLE SOUND (poorest of leveling), a plot more transparent & flat than a pane of glass & poor direction, script (though there was a one liner that gave me a chuckle, mainly due to the inappropriate delivery) & lighting, round out the numerous reasons to go stare at a Raggedy Ann doll in any toyshop for a better scare than you'll find here.

The only curse associated with this film will likely be you cursing whoever is responsible for this mess & perhaps yourself, for not checking the reviews & avoiding this waste of film stock.

To be fair in closing; Tiffany Ceri was probably the best part of all this, but the movie itself essentially buries almost any shimmer of light from her under the dark cloud of incompetent film making.

Its really just bad all around.

This film is just as the title says, LAME!

As soon as the actor/actress spoke the first line, I knew what I was in for. Depression.

The scariest part of the film was a 5p plastic bag moving across the corridor. I would have had more fun with a dose of clap.

Please, for your mental health, do not even entertain the idea of watching this poor excuse of a movie.

I was excited to watch this film because i'm a massive fan of horrors and i loved chucky and annabelle but very very disappointed with the outcome, on the front of the dvd it says "CHUCKY and ANNABELLE were SCARY ROBERT is your WORST NIGHTMARE" and annabelle and chucky were heart rushing thrillers and as it says it's worse than annabelle and chucky and to be honest s you're wasting your time and money and in all honesty just don't. thank you for your time

The filmmakers are shameless making Robert such a low budget Chucky clone but I still found this to be a pretty entertaining ride. It takes a while before the doll properly gets into the action, but once Robert starts knocking people off it's a fun watch. Honestly if you're expecting deep meaning to a film this isn't going to do it but its good by B movie standard. They probably should have gone a bit more extreme with the effects, there's only like a TV movie level of gore and no nudity which was a bit disappointing. But the story was pretty good and the actors did a decent job so I ended up digging it more than I probably should. 6/10

You think that this disaster being on Netflix would mean it's an okay movie, but it's not. How they made three of these movies I am not too sure, they should be paying me to watch these instead of me paying to view it on Netflix. Poor sequel, very low budget and that becomes clear in the movie on multiple occasions. Acting pretty poor too, and it makes you struggle to get yourself immersed into the movie, making it boring. Makes Annabelle look like Waitrose whilst this film looks like Farmfoods. Would not recommend unless you were either drunk or needed a good laugh. Long way to go.

Sincerely, Robert.
