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.

Where is his sailor suit? Where is the little bug-eyed dog that the real Robert holds in his arms, a dog whose expression seems to scream for release? This doll looks like a plasticine meat loaf that got run over by a couple of semis. Part of the creepiness of the original doll is that it manages to combine age and innocence, including a pock-marked face that makes you think this child's toy might have had some congress with syphilitic prostitutes in foreign ports of call. Neither of the parents in the movie has the least appeal; they are defensive, emotionally constipated, whiny idiots who should never have been allowed to breed in the first place. Twenty-five minutes into the plot, you find yourself wondering where this thing called a plot is. It doesn't get any better. This sucker is turgid; it moves at the pace of a 15-part BBC adaptation of a long-forgotten British novel about people who have nothing much to do with their time. I wound up hoping Robert would kill all of them just to rescue us from the tedium.

I gave this movie one star just for trying their best and made a 90min clip. First lets just talk about the weird looking doll, a 6 year old kid can make a better stuffed doll than this one, it's lame and not scary at all, well maybe just the face. Anyway i waited very much to see it move or try something scary but it barely moved during the entire movie, it was just sitting on the chair most of the movie.And of course you can't but notice the amateur acting and the boring side story of the family and the unnecessary events.To sum it all they had a good story elements for a good horror movie (a scary isolated house, hunted doll, and the old house maid witch).

I don't normally write film reviews but feel like I owe it to potential watchers of this movie to write one. First of all, the people that gave this movie 7/8 put of 10.. have you ever actually seen a decent horror movie?!The acting if you can call it that was beyond terrible. Literally painful and cringey to watch. Felt like they were all auditioning for a commercial or something. This could have been so much better had they used decent actors and a slightly bigger budget. Also did anyone notice that the movie was filmed inside a hotel?! Nothing about the movie felt genuine and I didn't expect much from the movie but didn't realize it would be this bad!Please save yourselves the time and watch a proper horror movie instead. 'The Boy' for example is a great doll horror with a great twist.
