Not only did James Wan take the haunted doll genre to a new level, he created an utterly suspenseful, interesting murder mystery. Exceptionally well done.

I've watched over hundreds of horror movies while on my quest to find the perfect horror film. I wanted to give up so many times because they weren't scary at all, even the ones with the good ratings. So I didn't expect much from this movie, but boy was I surprised. The first horror movie in more than 6 months of searching which was actually scary. It wasn't like cheap jumpscare scary, but there were a lot of thrilling moments. This movie kept me on the edge of my seat and I think is a great film for horror fanatics. I absolutely loved it and can't wait to find more real scary movies!

So this is one of the first doll films I've ever seen and boy it was scary fun! It gets mystery from The Ring and a curse like Ju-On and I believed inspired some of the soundtrack from Jigsaw. It also feels like a M. Night Shamylan film. Basically a couple get a box with a doll named Billy in it and after a little the wife dies. Then from there he tries to find the original of the doll, every step he takes a utter scare for the audience. I honestly don't get why people hate this film. There is some crappy graphics at one point in the film but what I say is it's not always about the visuals but the story. There aren't much jump scares and is a little over rated but if they made a sequel to this masterpiece I would go out in the theaters and buy a ticket. I guess the only thing I didn't like was the lack of richness in characters but what am I to say? So James Wan is my favorite person in the film industry, starting off The Conjuring, Insidious, Saw,and so much more horror films. If Wan didn't get on in this film this film would be worse than the Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4.

Creepy, creepy, creepy. This movie is what nightmares are made of! I will always love this movie because it is not only scary but I believe it's original in a way. I know scary movies with ventriloquist dolls have probably been around before...but this movie I believe added something new to it. The acting is great and you really feel like you are on this journey with the main character to find out what's going on. The enemy in this movie is very good as well. Her face is terrifying and the song that goes along with it is equally as terrifying. I would say the only thing that I don't like about the movie is the ending and at times the movie has it slow and boring parts but overall it is a great horror movie.
