The Curse of Robert the Doll: Another frustrating mess
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
entertaining B movie
The filmmakers are shameless making Robert such a low budget Chucky clone but I still found this to be a pretty entertaining ride. It takes a while before the doll properly gets into the action, but once Robert starts knocking people off it's a fun watch. Honestly if you're expecting deep meaning to a film this isn't going to do it but its good by B movie standard. They probably should have gone a bit more extreme with the effects, there's only like a TV movie level of gore and no nudity which was a bit disappointing. But the story was pretty good and the actors did a decent job so I ended up digging it more than I probably should. 6/10
Not much of a curse...
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".
Slightly better than the first movie... which isn't saying much
A young woman takes a job on the night shift in a small curio museum. When her coworkers' bodies begin piling up, the prime suspect is one of the displays, a hideous doll which is purported to be possessed. Very loosely based on a real story (relocated from early 20th century Florida to contemporary Britain), the original "Robert" was a tedious movie, paced at the speed of evolution, with characters who behaved idiotically and cheaper effects than the worst of the Charles Band killer-doll flicks. This time around, the pace is a little better (though it still takes far too long to get going), the characters are slightly more likable (a returning cast member steps up their game and the rest of the performances are decent) and the effects are... well, about the same. Frankly, it's a case of been there, done that, seen it - and much better. But sadly, I've also seen much worse. The biggest problem with these films is that suspense isn't handled well, it's draaaaagged out to the point of boredom and the payoff generally sucks. It's sort of a shame that this trilogy (a third film is slated to be released next year) has been so painfully mediocre, cuz it's kind of disrespectful to the real Robert, who deserves a more faithful telling of his bizarre tale. Still, this sequel's a few rungs above the original, so perhaps the third film might actually be good.
watch Chucky instead
The story is played out some years after the first movie. This time with Emily Barker. A student who takes a night job at a museum to pay of loans. Unfortanly for her this is the new home for Robert the doll. After a while working as a cleaner, Emily starts getting a feeling something's wrong in the museum. she is not wrong. I love horror movies and i was so scared for dolls after seeing Chucky many years ago. Unfortanly this movie is nothing like Chucky or the newer Annabell. The first movie was badly written. Slow going Forward. The characters never felt realistic when they talked to each other and when the doll was on screen it was so bad it made you laugh. This movie is not better. The characters are still bad. The doll still just look so foolish and the story is so slow. Nothing happens the first 25 minutes. If you as me love horror movies with killing dolls. Watch Chucky or The boy instead. Light years better than this school project.
