In this chilling story based on real life events a family experience terrifying supernatural occurrences when their son acquires a vintage doll called Robert.
After Paul and Jenny part ways with their sinister housekeeper Agatha, the disgruntled former employee gives a vintage doll called Robert to their son Gene. Soon after Agatha’s departure, strange events begin plaguing the household. Furniture is vandalized, objects are thrown around and maniacal giggles echo through the house in the middle of the night. But nobody believes Gene when he claims Robert is to blame for the disturbances. Paul and Jenny consider the possibility that a supernatural force has taken over their home. But as the occurrences escalate they discover that it’s not the house that’s haunted; it’s the doll.
“Tension in the movie is well done, constructed carefully, under a thin layer of anxiety, fear and expectation. It relies more on a good, decent, cohesive and well-structured plot and in the abilities of the actors involved, than aggressive blood and gore scenes, and special effects, something I think Hollywood should learn from, doing the very opposite thing for a long time now. If you like a good horror movie, you will certainly enjoy Robert, the cursed doll!” – Merchants of Air
“Robert is not a film laden with special effects, gory make-up and dramatic music, instead it is a story that succeeds because of its quiet, subtle nature. So little is seen of the doll in action in the films 90 minutes, yet his presence is felt in every scene because of the sheer atmosphere and impressive acting of the cast. In this film, the drama, psychology and experiences of a modern family are just as relevant as the doll itself. If quiet, insidious and subtle creepiness is your thing, then I recommend this film highly.” – Study Paranormal
“There’s plenty to raise the hairs on the back of your neck, before it hits top gear towards
its undeniably chilling climax.” – The Schlock Pit
