      Reception


      Culture Crypt gave the film a review score of 25 over 100 and wrote; “The title attraction’s collective screen time possibly exceeds one minute, but doubtful it runs over two. When he does appear, Robert’s “animation” consists of having offscreen hands shake him ridiculously or clunkily moving a limb. No attempt is made to give the doll character outside of his goofily silent expression.”
      Tom from Letterboxd gave the film a half star and he said; I was about to give this a whole 1 star, however the police officer reads the American Miranda rights rather than the British ‘right to silence’ speech. This was so egregious that I had to demote this film to half a star.
      Ml Miller Writer gave the film a mixed to positive reviews and said; The Robert in this film takes more of a hands on approach to his kills. The low fi way the doll is simply moved by someone off screen can be viewed as hokey or charming depending on your tolerance for low budget cinema.
      Gemma Johnson of Spooky Isles gave the film a negative review and she wrote; I like to try to find something positive within each film that I watch but I couldn’t find anything here, and I tried really, really hard. The most positive thing is that I have watched this film, so you don’t have to.
