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.

Run for cover!
An extremely poor film.
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.
Slight improvement
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.
