Robert (2015) was a really quite terrible effort at a killer doll horror movie which somehow someway has had a sequel every year since. So here we are on part 4 and unsurprisingly I wasn't excited to see it.

The first 3 movies amassed nine out of a potential 30 points from me here on IMDB, the best by far being the third.

Here we see the Toymaker on the run from german forces, all eager to get hold of his book and the secrets it contains. If you're watching for killer doll action then you're not going to be happy, the dolls probably make up around 2 minutes of the film total. This is not a film about Robert at all.

Once again it has strong vibes of the Puppet Master (1989) franchise, but fails to live up to even their lackluster quality.

With shoddy effects, ridiculous prosthetics and a generic script this is another dud for the series.

The Good:

Well scored

Archive footage

The Bad:

Most pathetic German accents I've ever heard

Weak sfx

Badly false advertised

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Somewhere along the way the creators thought people would be happy with a killer doll movie with no actual killer doll action

First of all, you don't even see the doll until 3/4's of the way thru the film. The entire story was ludicrous. I guess the special effects/makeup dept had about $20 for their budget. Because when blood goes to splatter, they use CGI blood to make it appear as if it splattered onto the camera. Also, the old man on the train; I would be HIGHLY EMBARRASSED by the makeup job they did on him. I wouldn't want my name affiliated with doing the makeup on him. They tried making the actor look old. What it looked like was a guy with Silly Putty stuck to his face with cotton balls for eyebrows & hair and also wearing granny glasses. I couldn't believe someone saw what the actor looked like in makeup and said "Yep! Nailed it! He really looks like an old man."

Anyway, do yourself a favor and skip this bomb. It's a time and $ waster.

It will always be a mystery to me, why these kind of movies get made. Setting things up in nazi Germany around the 1940s usually goes 2 ways. It will be either extremely authentic with a lot of love to details, focussing on the cruel mindset of the fanatically following soldiers, or, just as we can see in this movie as simply another one of countless examples out there, with the main focus on crappy German accent throughout the entire dialogue lines, preferably adding nothing special to the plot and already were annoying at times of Indiana Jones and such alikes. Just because there are actors like Schwarzenegger (I know, Austrian origin, but the point remains the same), who never ever felt the need to visit a language class to get rid of this accent after living in the US for decades, it doesn't justify a movie made in 2018 to still base entire fims on this atrocity of a conversation tool. And The Revenge of Robert the Doll delivers basically only that. Terrible lines, horrible acting, bad effects and no scares whatsoever throughout the entire film. People get asked a question in this dismembered English and answer back in German. Several times with the lousy cliche "nein". Someone at some point found this funny for no reason. Imagine a country constantly jiggeling over a "no" for almost a century. Your only thought will be: What the...? I can honestly say that I had this thought all the way through, no matter what the movie brought up. On top they like to throw in some other German vocabulary and then it becomes even worse. These actors were not even able to pronounce the words or names of the cities correctly. For sakes of authenticity please use real Germans (even if it might just be for a quick voice over) or stick to your guns and do it in your native tongue. Whatever you do, stop pretending! In this movie there was only one woman fluent in the language and she was not even relevant to the plot. What a sad summary. This is one of the worst films I have ever seen. I never saw the other parts and that seems to be a good thing after this wasted 1 hour and 20 minutes. You can call this a Horror movie, but only because everything in it was aweful. Not to use the phrase horrible.

Was drawn into seeing 'The Revenge 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 Revenge of Robert the Doll' is really very bad, with so many huge flaws, that are exactly the same as the previous films, and doesn't do anywhere near enough with its potential, which was quite a good deal. There is very little good here, and of the Robert films for me this was the worst due to feeling like a separate film to the series even with the titular characters in it.

Only slight redeeming quality is the sometimes spooky music score. Robert is not a redeeming quality this time, if one has seen the previous Robert films what he does in those films is very little different here, it's all un-scary and stale. Plus he is used poorly, for a titular character it was the Toymaker that seemed much more of a leading role.

Going further 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 with some of the worst German accents ever committed to celluloid. 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 is anti-climactic and more like set-up or foreshadowing of a follow-up, have grown to be wary of these kind of endings because if the plans for the film fall through it would render this film incomplete. 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 Revenge 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, especially in the deaths which were as unimaginative and so what as you could possibly get. The footage included was pointless and seemed only there for padding reasons.

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. 'The Revenge 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.

In summary, very poor. 2/10 Bethany Cox

As the title says, where was he? Oh right: he appears an hour into the movie for 2 minutes and has 2 scenes. Terrible. The beginning of this movie is 40 minutes too long. What's happening has nothing to do with Robert/toy maker, and doesn't really tie in. All the films in the franchise are awful, but this is the worst so far. Hopefully with how the movie ends they won't make any more.

I've seen all of the movies in the Robert the Doll series and this one stands head and shoulders above the others. Actually compared to the first movie it's on another planet. As always there are tell tale signs of a low budget and lets face it all of these movies are clearly made for pocket change. But the story and actors in this one help you over look that because rather than a cliché haunted doll movie we have all seen a million times before we actually get a well paced thriller with lots of tension and twists and turns. If your looking for wall to wall doll action you may be disappointed but the story is interesting enough without that and the dolls are used well at the right moments. There is more going on in this movie with story and action than probably all the other Robert movies put together. I'd be interested to see what they do for the next one considering how each new movie seems to be better than the last.

Well were can I start, name and shame is the best possible way to stop this self proposed movie director/ producer .... Andrew Jones..... what a complete waist of space in the digital pixel world of film making. Were is he getting the cash for this tripe is he a bored millionaire, or are there real idiots putting there hard earned into this garbage. This film is a travesty of a mockery of a sham of a mockery of a travesty of two mockeries of a sham.

This time Rober the Doll gets trapped in Nazi Germany,

Just the same awful filmmaking, with it's awful script and direction.

I've watched a couple of the Robert movies, and yes, they are dire, but oddly entertaining. The acting is mostly dreadful, and the storylines are weak. The main gripe for me though, is the complete lack of authenticity with regard to the sets. This film is supposedly set in Nazi Germany, yet the cottage and the train station they used are so obviously somewhere in England. The station signs are in English, the train is English, the interior of the cottage is typically English, the countryside looks English.

Then there's the toy maker's makeup. In order to make him appear old, they have applied heavy makeup to his face. Unfortunately it looks like he has had an accident with some playdoh.

I actually gave up on this half way through as there was no sign of Robert. All in all, simply awful.

Here it is folks the info listed is the movie ; a killer doll goes after Hitler I'm pretty sure enough said its a movie about a killer doll its a 5.8 REAL rating out of 10

Sturdy plot, not sure why Hands and Skegness got choked out by their dad.

It was a film that cought my eye due to it being a killer doll horror,one of my favourite genres. Over almost an hour through the worst acting, German accents, terrible sound quality, we finally get to the killer dolls, what a waste of time waiting. How a director can even put their name to a production this amateur is remarkable, worse than a first year film project in high school.

We have watched some c*** in our time. This is by far the worst. It barely features the doll. The acting, the speaking all appears to be on 50% speed. The first half doesn't even seem to connect with the second half. All the budget seems to have gone on the cotton wool beard of the Toymaker. I can't spoil the plot as it's not really got a plot. I would suggest you miss this film as you won't get your 90 minute back. Do something constructive like watching paint dry, it will be more fun.

I´m not even dissapointed from this movie. I feel personaly attacked. Story : Garbage, Characters : Garbage, Horror : Garbage, Camera : Garbage, Acting : HOLY S*** GARBAGE. It is more entertaining to not cut your toenails and watch them growing into your foot, while you getting more and more exited about the following surgery.

AWFULL.
