Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Stevieboy666 When a successful couple fire their housekeeper she gets revenge by gifting their young son (played by Flynn Allen, who is probably the best actor here) an ugly doll named Robert, which happens to be cursed, bringing misery to the family. Having previously seen some of the director's other movies I had low expectations for "Robert" & unsurprisingly it turned out to be another turd. Right from the start the shaky camerawork made me feel queasy. The wooden acting is not helped by the bad script. Despite being a British film the makers decided to pepper it with random American characters, most of whom have very unconvincing accents (bad acting). Robert himself is pretty creepy looking & no doubt in better hands this could have potential but so far I am yet to see an Andrew Jones movie that isn't terrible. My only consolations were that watching this didn't cost me a penny - just my time - and I have recently seen an even worse doll movie, "Anna" (2017). Somehow this has spawned several sequels, but then so did Killjoy.

Michael Ledo Based on a true so this is not as good as CHUCKY which was based on ROBERT before it was made.I am not going to insult you by even mentioning the plot...the boy likes the doll, mom is on meds and dad doubts both mom and the boy who may both be mentally unstable.Robert lacks the charisma of Chucky. Suzie Frances Garton is not Catherine Hicks either. The sound is choppy in the beginning, something that they later fixed. The early kitchen scene has the shadow of the microphone on the wooden cabinet...yes I saw it Andrew Jones if you didn't or cared. And what was with the American Flag flying over the neighbors place outside of the window? Where was this filmed anyway? I don't believe the inside of the house was the same house we saw from the outside. Not that it's a bad thing, only when it is obvious.Outside of that, ROBERT is another in a serious of stories where puppets or wooden dolls overpower adults 3-4 times their size. If you haven't seen one of these before, this one is not a bad flick. Unfortunately I don't know anyone who meets that description over the age of 5. There is a "real story" of Robert Eugene Otto on Wikipedia. Acting could have been better too.Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity. No dolls were harmed in the making of this film.

Nigel P Jen Otto (Suzie Frances Garton) isn't well, she isn't happy and she isn't finding much support from husband Paul (Lee Bane). Their son Gene (Flynn Allen) has been given a doll, a bug-eyed grinner called Robert, by recently sacked family cleaner Agatha (Judith Haley). Robert will be Gene's best friend forever, promises Agatha. This is writer/director/producer Andrew Jones' first foray into Robert's world – the doll is an enigma he would return to more than once.From then on, strange and unaccountable things begin to happen in the family house. Naturally, poor Gene gets the blame for this, but he's adamant the doll is responsible. If only mum and dad would pay a bit of attention to the evidence. When Jen's painting is daubed with red paint, the doll's shoes are covered with red. Wouldn't there have been a few footprints? The situation is fairly unreal, but that doesn't mean that a certain logic should be ignored.Where the film scores though is in the characters – Jones always writes really well for his characters, and you feel especially for Jen's plight: she is mentally fragile anyway, and the more outlandish things happen, the more likely it is to everyone else that it's all in her mind. The doll, however, sits and leers through it all, as relationships reveal their strained nature and resentment bubbles to the surface as a result of Robert's interference. It is pretty creepy stuff, but rather less so on the occasions when the prop is required to move.I don't often comment on other reviews but a lot of online viewers have been negative about this and I truly don't know why. A horror story about a malevolent doll (based on a true story, apparently – according to IMDb, Robert Eugene Otto (Gene) was first given Robert the Doll in 1906, when he was just six years old, by an angry Bahamian servant with an interest in black magic and voodoo) can either make you laugh or scare you: either way, you're going to be entertained. Perhaps the lack of humour, no knowing wink to the audience, aggravates the audience. Perhaps the leisurely pace of proceedings (a trait of Jones) is to blame. Surely people aren't shallow enough to criticise a low-budget project for having a low budget? This isn't a Hollywood blockbuster and has no intention of being. A pity that people can't enjoy these films for what they, rather than when they're not.I enjoyed 'Robert', as I have enjoyed all of Andrew Jones' output. The ending, open to interpretation, is particularly effective.

Michael O'Keefe Andrew Jones writes and directs this creepy tale of the supernatural. The story is claimed to be true. Paul(Lee Bane)and Jenny(Suzie Garton)are having enough problems dealing with Jenny's illness. Paul has clients to deal with in town, while Jenny uses her time painting in her home studio. Young son Gene(Flynn Allen)spends a lot his time in his room and there is the housekeeper Agatha(Judith Haley)that takes care of the home and sees after the boy. Jenny grows tired of the forgetful cleaning woman and demands she leave. Before Agatha departs, she leaves Gene with a vintage doll named Robert. An ugly sight to look upon, but the boy likes Robert the doll. The old woman tells Jenny that she would be sorry. Soon, terror begins about the household and young Gene will tell of his talking to Robert. And when Robert doesn't like you, he does something about it.Not totally uninteresting, but with better actors this film could have been something to talk about. Filmed in Wales, I would have expected maybe some fog, rain or howling winds that could have aided in a scarier atmosphere. Robert the doll is creepy enough to look at, but the music is outstandingly spooky. Kudos to the trailers for making me watch this.
