User Reviews
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.
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

Literally nothing to get you invested in the movie. The story is aimless and boring, the characters acting is stiff and dull. Like they were filming a school project.
The so called "cursed" doll looks like a bad paper craft and looks like someone awkwardly "playing dolls" with a child in every scene.
Would also like to point out that for 2016 the SFX are.. abysmal. Like I'm pretty sure an actual child could make better looking blood/guts with tissue paper and red paint.
I could complain for hours but not even worth it.

Right, let's be honest, it's no Annabelle, but in this second outing, Robert is now housed in a museum, and of course causes mayhem when the new cleaner arrives.
I'm not sure why expectations from some were seemingly quite high, surely they must have seen the first?
It's low budget, it's silly, but it's not without some level of charm, I liked the accompanying music, it was definitely a little creepy, and atmospheric.
The acting, was decent I thought, some of it was good, some was average.
Robert, if only he could have been a little more animated, he was perhaps a little static, his footsteps were rather cute I thought.
I loved the atmosphere of the opening and closing scenes, and that security guard was very cute.
It wasn't bad, 5/10.

Probably like me you got suckered into watching this, by the brilliant cover art on the DVD but that is about all the quality you will find, with this 'Robert' sequel. It's a shoddy, low budget affair with bad special effects and even worse acting. The story of a cursed doll is actually quite tantalizing but this is just a very poor and dull effort.

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".

A very slight improvement over the first film. But I mean slight. The action shifts to the modern day, where Robert's now a museum exhibit, except of course he's still up to no good. The acting's still cringy but not quite so much, and the inspiration seems to be CHILD'S PLAY which gives this one more of a slasher film feel.

This Robert sequel is not as bad as some ratings claim, The story is well tied as a nice follow up to the first movie. There's no huge story here because it's like a bridge between part 1 and 3, also it's mainly based on the true legend of Robert the doll in the museum. Yet the film is enjoyable to watch and fast based, also the ending was very cool and unexpected.

Robert is purchased from the evidence room and placed in a museum (cops don't care about stolen and sold evidence). Emily Barker (Tiffany Ceri) is hired as a night time cleaning woman and suddenly the doll comes to life and starts its killing, something it failed to do before the new hire. Once you get past these plot issues, we meet Stan Graves (Christopher Hale) who has "puppet kill me" all over his obnoxious self. The order of people who get killed is easy to figure out from the onset. The saving grace of the film is the ending which leads into a sequel "The Toymaker" out in 2017 because 12 or so Puppetmaster films are not enough.
The film is slow and predictable, which is not always bad in a horror film. In this case it was. I didn't care about the characters, even after I got to know Emily and Kevin Underwood (Jason Homewood) who were an item after knowing each other for 3 nights.
Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

You may be familiar with 'Chucky', and 'Annabelle' too – murderous dolls who seem to take on a life of their own. This is actually a sequel to the earlier 'Robert (2015)', although it works perfectly well viewed in isolation.
Pretty young Emily Barker (Tiffany Ceri) begins a nightshift as a cleaner at East Falls Museum, which takes on an eerie atmosphere in the darkness, what with its mannequins, human-like dummies, and an allegedly 'haunted' doll called Robert. He's a creepy looking toy, with his mismatched eyes and permanent sneer/grin. As grumpy Security Guard Stan (Christopher Hale) soon finds, Robert is also a dab hand at murder. Luckily for Emily, handsome nice guy Kevin (Jason Homeward) is also on hand.
This is another project from the horror stable of Andrew Jones, and contains a subtle reference to his earlier 'Poltergeist Activity', which also featured a malevolent doll. As productivity increases, Jones' films show signs of getting better all the time – for example, the standard of acting and sound quality is much better than some of the earlier offerings. One constant that remains, happily, is Jones' skill at writing his characters – there are no stereotypes here (not even Stan), no petulant bored teens or posturing cardboard, one-dimensional characters. Here are likable, relatable, real people placed in a very unreal situation. Therefore, we like them and feel emotion when events conspire against them.
The low-budget notion of a malevolent toy coming to life is as frightening or as ridiculous as you would wish it, but Robert's appearances are brief enough to avoid unintentional hilarity. The spirit of Robert Crow, murdered by his father, inhabits the little bloke, and the owner of the museum (Nigel Barber) knows this – and with the intimidating lack of non-co-operation from the police, Emily and Kevin take events into their own hands.
This all depends on whether you find dolls frightening. If so, this works well – everything is employed to make their broken little porcelain faces, their sightless glassy eyes and their leering grins as unnerving as possible. Lee Bane, without whom no Andrew Jones film would be complete, plays the Toymaker. Sadly, his 'old man' make-up is less convincing than anything Robert or his friends bring to the table.

Seen this film last year on DVD, but bough it the year before last after discovering there was a sequel! I didn't expect much from the film & knew it was going to be boring or crappy to some degree, but I had a whisker of hope it could be good.
As usual, the film was rubbish, but somehow slightly better than the first, which really sucked! The film was slightly better because it had a slightly better premise, gorgeous actress lead & of course, had a bit more bloodiness to it.
But the story-line & pacing killed it! The film itself wasn't convincing with editing being so weak & sloppy it's as if the filmmakers don't care about the outcome but only just to make a sequel for the sake of it! What I don't understand, is why the film has to lack action sequences & have deaths that aren't the imaginative? They could at least watch Child's Play or Annabelle to give them some inspiration if they suck at creative ideas & thinking! But no, they didn't!
I also can't help but feel the film overall just felt isolated & dead! It seemed to lifeless, like Robert himself. But the film was slightly better than its predacessor, so that's something I guess.

Just not good. Not very original and I think even a documentary about Robert The Doll is scarier. Bad effects among other things just come off as negative. Since I know quite a bit about the real Robert The Doll I didn't find it very impressive.

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.

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.

Was drawn into seeing 'The Curse of Robert the Doll', with a cool poster/cover, an intriguing though far from original premise and as someone with a general appreciation for the genre it fits under. That it was low-budget, which from frequent personal experience is rarely a good sign due to that there are so many poor ones out there (though there are decent to good ones as well), made me though apprehensive.
It is sadly however yet another film seen recently, hence some reiteration because the exact same strengths and flaws present in those films are here, that to me was incredibly disappointing considering its potential which it doesn't do anywhere near enough with. 'The Curse of Robert the Doll' is really very bad, with so many huge flaws and doesn't do anywhere near enough with its potential, which was quite a good deal. There is very little good here in 'The Curse of Robert the Doll', which was seen by me hearing that it was better than the first. Actually for me they're on the same level and the flaws are exactly the same too.
Only the titular doll passes muster as a redeeming quality, he is quite creepy at times and it is a shame that the rest of the film isn't.
Going on to the negatives, the story does feel over-stretched and some of it comes over as vague and under-explained in the last third where the film especially became duller, more predictable, more senseless and less unsettled and never gaining momentum. All the characters are too sketchy and with cardboard thin and colourless personalities and with nowhere near enough to make one want to endear to them. Their annoying and illogical decision making and behaviours frustrates. The chemistry is bland and unfocused.
The sound quality is obvious and utilised cheaply (being too loud in the build ups and people's reactions), the effects are laughable and all of the acting is lacking severely on the whole, that's actually an understatement as the worst of it is horrendous from especially the mother. There is no sense of horror or engagement with the awful predicament they're in, and no connecting with the character, it just reeks of indifference which makes the viewer not care less too.
Dialogue can be stilted and rambling while the pace and film drags on forever, apparent from the very start, never recovering that interest is lost fast. The ending has no build-up and just ends ridiculously. Found too many of the supposedly shocking moments not surprising or scary and the atmosphere dreary, due to the excessive obviousness, a lot of dumb and vague moments and explanations and the lack of tension and suspense. Thrills are none, thanks to stodginess and excessive over-familiarity, and found myself never invested in the drama, which tended to be indifferently acted, interminably paced and statically directed.
A lot of 'The Curse of Robert the Doll' has really dull and going nowhere plot elements and often nonsensical and confusing character motivations, while too many of the things to make you shocked are far from creative or unsettling. It all feels rather tame.
Nothing freaky or interesting, no development and too derivative, while everything is unimaginative and are more odd than scary, completely failing to show any sense of dread. There is nothing interesting or illuminating with what the film was trying to do and the drama is overwrought with no momentum and a lot of weirdness. The direction is leaden, got the sense their heart was not in it, and the music is ill-fitting. 'The Curse of Robert the Doll' is very amateurish visually, too drearily lit and shows no care in the way it's shot. The editing has more continuity errors than one can count.
Altogether, very poor. 2/10 Bethany Cox
