Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Good concept, poorly executed.

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

I felt compelled to write my first review on here after seeing this film. There are some few low scores here that complain about how the story goes where you don't expect it to. Well, if it did, then surely it would just blend into every other "doll" film like Annabelle or Child's Play.
I personally loved it. The acting was believable. It wasn't over cooked or hammy. The characters took one another seriously rather than choosing not to believe what was going on. There were some decent back story elements.
What I also enjoyed was how creepy this film was. I had a few moments where the hairs stood up on my arms and neck.
The twist...well I won't drop any spoilers but I believe this to be one of the very few horrors that has blended two horror sub-genres together and I found it really effective.
Turns the lights off, and enjoy!!

Brainless and oddly familiar at every turn. However it is improved by some reasonable acting.

First of all, I always have to laugh when I see the standard imdb "I've never written a review here before but I felt compelled to come out of the woodwork to review this movie no one knows anything about" - c'mon, folks, you're not kidding anyone.Then I'm always amused at the little tiny teens who come here to deride any film they can get their slimy fingers on - of course, seeing this in a theater with these twits would be horrible, which is why I don't go to theaters to see movies anymore - too much moron in the audience (and yet they LOVE the most infantile and ridiculous stupid-hero movies, no matter what).So, what do we have here? A fairly well directed movie with nice photography, a good score, and a nice lead performance. It has an interesting and weird premise and it moves along at a steady clip and I rather enjoyed myself during its ninety-something minutes. I could have lived without the jump scare dream cliche - once, maybe, but twice, never. I've seen so much lousy junk lately, and yes that includes the dopey super-hero movies - this one's a masterpiece compared to that idiocy - that whenever I see something that's at least competently done, I'm happy. The doll itself is very creepy and well rendered. Is it predictable - some of it, sure, so what - what isn't?You could do worse.

I read the good and bad reviews. I didn't Watch the movie when it was first released becausr, to be honest, in the horror genre, dolls are something that always creep me out. It probably has to do with the folktales of them housing souls. But, I decided, well, I'm going to "man up" and watch this. I'm glad I did. I spent most of the movie trying to decide if I thought **spoilers ahead** Greta was suffering from PTSD, was mentally unstable or if Cole had found out where she was and was doing all of it. **End Spoilers**
My preconceived notions were challenged and by the end of the movie, I had jumped a few times and felt that general mild-adrenaline and kind of icky after-feeling that I think is indicative of a good horror flick. It's worth the hour and 37 minutes of time invested in it.
