Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

That was an excellent one.

Brilliant and touching

Boring

When a successful couple fire their housekeeper she gets revenge by gifting their young son (played by Flynn Allen, who is probably the best actor here) an ugly doll named Robert, which happens to be cursed, bringing misery to the family. Having previously seen some of the director's other movies I had low expectations for "Robert" & unsurprisingly it turned out to be another turd. Right from the start the shaky camerawork made me feel queasy. The wooden acting is not helped by the bad script. Despite being a British film the makers decided to pepper it with random American characters, most of whom have very unconvincing accents (bad acting). Robert himself is pretty creepy looking & no doubt in better hands this could have potential but so far I am yet to see an Andrew Jones movie that isn't terrible. My only consolations were that watching this didn't cost me a penny - just my time - and I have recently seen an even worse doll movie, "Anna" (2017). Somehow this has spawned several sequels, but then so did Killjoy.

To the poor people who think this sad movie was well-acted... This movie was borderline hysterical because of the poor acting shown. The son in particular shows no emotion towards anything that happens in the movie. And can we PLEASE talk about that maid Martha falling down the stairs, hitting the back of her head on the floor, no marks on her face until the wife cones home and suddenly she's bleeding from her forehead? I laughed so hard watching this movie and was not in the least bit frightened. The ONLY reason it's getting a 2 instead of a 1 is because I laughed so hard. The husband is the worst type of husband. He blames the whole thing on stress or having a hard day instead of listening to his family. Completely stereotypical.

Like "Annabelle" Robert is based on a supposed true story that you can look up on Google. The two stories are almost identical. And both dolls are locked up in glass boxes in museums, both of them with "Do not open under any circumstances" signs on their glass cases This movie desperately wants to be along the lines of "Annabelle",or even "Child's Play". The fact of the matter is, the movie just isn't very good. Its a bargain bin budget, and it shows. Unlike most low budget horror flicks, this is very talky, and it has a very low body count. I think there's only three at the most. If you wanna watch a good "killer doll" horror movie, stick with the staples like "Child's Play", "Dolls," "Dolly Dearest", or even The "Puppet Master" or "Demonic Toys" series. Skip this one unless you have nothing better to watch.

Yes, it is sad, but true. Acting was awful, the doll was a better actor than the cast. There were too much moments of uncomfortably silence, when an actor ended a line, the camera still showing actor's expression for a couple of seconds, a waste of time. The idea was good, but the movie was sadly bad. The ending is not bad at all, but this is one of these movies that you must watch alone in your room because you don't want to bore your friends.The original history could be better exploited.Best wishes and, though it was bad for me, thank you for the movie, it is a work and there is time from everyone on it.
