A fan of doll movies, this one is way up there, i luckily found it i think in a Family Video store. I bought it instantly. Many of these types or horror in general to many people are usually very picky on grading good movies badly.Here you already got a creepy doll, just picture yourself in these movies, for starters and the doll is already creepy. It possesses the girl badly you can tell even when the doll is hurting herself by slapping her face to get the mother in trouble! I mean i was like Damnnn, thats like some vicious stuff, i was like blown away, seeing her hit her own face and were talking of a little girl repeatedly slapping her own face to get her mother in trouble saying she abused her! The doll also was causing so much evil and death, i mean like wow, and not many movies Especially the movie THE BOY didn't do any of this and it had a higher rating, Shakes my head. This movie is cool creepy and fun, unlike most horror movies out today that are too CGI and too lame, with this movie its more of a Annabelle. But even better, i think, through i like that movie too and bought it has well. I just think this had a more evil doll, through Annabelle did too, but more spooky and did more. I love it, despite what others think i watch a movie i suck myself into it lock myself deep into what the writer and everyone is trying to show and if its good i love it if not i don't, and i for one love it. 83%

My hopes were not too high before watching this but I was surprised that it is actually pretty good. It's a familiar tale, family move into a house with a horrible history and bad things happen. We have seen it all a hundred times but thanks to a good cast and some nice directing this still manages to satisfy. There were a number of well handled tension filled scenes that prove that horror isn't and shouldn't be all about the gore. Although it's fairly predictable I still felt pretty tense at times watching it. The cast all did a good job but a special mention must go to the little girl who plays the young daughter Claire ( Kylie Rogers) who is genuinely chilling as the possessed girl. For a small budget horror film this is a good film and is certainly on a par with many of it's higher budgeted rivals.

I happened to learn of this film while checking a trailer for another (good ol' YouTube recommendation). Apparently, it's an original TV film made by a channel called Syfy, a fact made obvious by the lighting and cinematography, and perhaps the fact that NONE of the main characters are credited here on IMDb without clicking the "see full cast" link!Anyways, nothing original about the story... violent murder in a house, reasons unknown, evil haunted doll recovered, rinse and repeat. Deja-vu? Bluntly so... I must say I liked the acting, especially by 10 year old Kylie Rogers as little Claire. Having to play such a role when you're only 10 isn't easy (though not half as challenging or impressive as other young lead roles like in Mama or The Ring), and I think Rogers showed some real talent.The story develops nicely, but not more than that. The doll is pretty creepy though! Not easy presenting scary dolls nowadays after the high raft set by Saw and The Conjuring. Certain scenes were really amateur, for instance when one of the characters trips on a wire it is painfully visible that she simply ducked and rolled down the stairs... Why give stuntman Steve Austin the first credit when other stunts were so miserably performed? Beats me.All in all, this is the kind of films you can definitely enjoy, but only if you set your Horror meter to mediocre and below. I enjoyed watching it, and I liked the fact that it lacked any sex, gore or extreme violence, making it suitable for younger Horror fans. It isn't terrible, but it's far from great. As always, I recommend you ignore my (or anyone else's) opinion and judge for yourselves!

Woman buys house then realises it is haunted. Or something is. She has a child, in this case a daughter, but if you've seen a similar offering in which the woman has a son or the man has a son, or there is a family or a whole bunch of them, you might be forgiven for experiencing a sense of déjà vu. Guess what comes next, and you get only the one guess. Of course, murders, lots of them!There is no secret about the root of the evil as from the off we are made aware of the reason the house is haunted, there had been a massacre there, one committed by a ten year old boy, who also murdered the two police officers who were sent to investigate the initial disturbance, or whatever it was.Kylie Rogers who plays Claire was only 10 years old when this film was released. If her role does not constitute child abuse then an adult willingly sitting through 80+ minutes of this constitutes self-abuse (no, not in that sense, you reprobate). Indeed there is no sex to speak of in this film, not that a rape, an orgy or even a knee trembler could have made it appreciably worse.
