Storyline

After violating a list of strict rules, a series of disturbing and inexplicable events bring Greta's worst nightmare to life, leading her to believe that the doll is actually alive.
Reviews
I do not want to spend much time giving this sad excuse for a movie a review however, I would like to encourage anyone thinking of seeing this "horror /thriller" to reconsider. Choose any other movie and do not waste your time or money on this atrocity. It lacks the following-originality, intensity, mystery, horror, gore etc. the ending is almost laughable...reminiscent of a CSI episode, which I am pretty sure is where the writer stole his idea for the "twist "at the end of the film. The only jolt I got during this entire movie happened close to the beginning and sadly failed to keep me interested throughout... continuously disappointing. It did not have a climatic point and some of the scenes were just completely stupid, lacking any logic. The acting wasn't horrible. The main problem came from a lack of excitement or intensity which made this movie a serious flop in my mind.Terrible terrible terrible, oh Maggie you Should stick to the walking dead!
