The Legend of Robert the Doll

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.

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.

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

This one was a bit of a let down. A straight sequal to the previous one with our toymaker now evading the germans and others that wish him dead on a train. The beginning of the film takes a detor and goes further back in time to the 30s when the book was even before the events of the last film. There is to much time with this part meaning by the time we get to the train there is not much left. Lee bans role of the toymaker was once again enjoyable and I liked his fighting skills. Just wish there was more of the dolls this time around which took away from the film. But it was still good in its own way,

I normally get really pissed off when I waste my time on a bad film. However, don't get me wrong this is awful, but as its sooo bad it just makes you laugh. At least I won't forget this one in a hurry lool.
