Started off sort of ok. However after 30 minutes I realised it was going to make my head hurt.
The acting was fairly good, but the horror parts were free and far between. One of the worst parts was when the police were called. When the officer turned up, it was as if the props person had raided a primary school's fancy dress box. I've seen a 6 year old make a better police costume.
I did watch the whole film, as I was intrigued to how it would end, but I admit I did fast forward all the boring and pointless bits.
However, I'm not going to spoil the ending as I want others to suffer watching this like I did.

Watched this last night and came away with the same thought after I had watched Jack In The Box.
Which is, there is more tension when you just see the dolls. The tension goes fast out of the door as soon as you see a person dressed as the dolls.
Both films had this in it and it wrecked the movie for me.
I did enjoy this movie but it could have been a whole lot better if they didn't have a person dressed as Humpty Dumpty. The film makers should have kept it at the creepy doll style story.
Overall a missed opportunity, shame really because the actors and actresses were all fine in the movie.

Now I knew this was gonna be cheesy judging by the title and the cover art over exposing the creature but that's what I was hoping. Ive always loved watching these low budget horror movies but this was really bad. The actors were pretty good, not gonna lie, but the story was all over the place. It was trying really hard to be multiple different genres at once which really killed the movies overall vibe as a creepy puppet story.
It was really boring and seemed longer than an hour and a half 😂😂

Not that bad but certainly not that good either, just a run of the mill horror thriller, but at least it tries and made me curious enough to go watch the other two.
The visuals (special effect and makeup) are not great but not horrendous either, the writing passable, the story fairly classic and without much surprise, but if nothing is particularly good nothing is particularly bad either.
One thing though to notice, it's the old lady (Nicola Wright) who play the main character of the movie is actually really good, her level of acting was a big surprise in this sort of B movie, and her acting of an old lady half lost and half mad was really a nice surprise, I would say the main thing that made this movie watchable.

A British indie addition to the 'killer doll' wave of low budget horror, and it's absolutely awful with it. This is a gloomy and underlit production centred around a ridiculous-looking humpty dumpty doll which appears to be based on the vampire look in BLADE II. Why anyone, sane or otherwise, would choose to own such a horrific-looking doll is beyond me. The thing that annoys most is that it's just a full-size costume with a guy inside, no attempt has been made to make it look properly doll-sized. Most of the running time is padded out with a depressing story about an elderly woman sliding into dementia.
