So if you haven't seen this trailer, you haven't watched any horror movies in the last six months or so. But basically, a nanny gets a super posh job watching a kid, but it turns out to be a doll with all these rules to follow. But the doll could always be alive, right? We have six Chucky movies to tell us that.
In the first two minutes of this movie, I'm already annoyed because the nanny, Greta (Lauren Cohen) is told to wait in the parlor for the family to return, but immediately investigates a "strange noise" upstairs. Luckily, we don't get a jump scare this early on, but then we meet Brahms, and I can guaran-fucking-tee you I would be out the door in the first five minutes. Then, of course, we wouldn't have a movie, but I digress.
So we all assume the doll can't be trusted, right? Apparently Greta didn't get the memo, and figures that she can just toss a blanket over Brahms until the parents get back from holiday. The parents tell her that the hot grocery boy, Malcolm (Rupert Evans), will be by once a week, but my guess is that the nanny is going to be killed by the creepy doll before the first week is up.
It's kind of hard to like Greta, because she just makes shitty decision after shitty decision. Just follow the doll's dumb routine and cash your checks, girl. Don't follow noises into attics and ignore the fact that Brahms is moving around the house without you touching him.
So I'll admit this movie plodded along in the middle a bit, with the doll moving around and the calls coming from inside the house, but the twist in this movie was pretty freakin' sweet. Not gonna spoil it, but it's not what I was expecting. Even Scream King said, "not too bad," which is high praise for a horror movie coming from him. So try to look past the girl making dumbass decisions, and the standard possessed-doll storyline, and hang in for the ending!
