The Curse of Robert the Doll

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.

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".

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.

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

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.
