Standout Aspects

Acting

Angela Bettis is unhinged perfection—terrifying and heartbreaking.

Direction

McKee's debut balances camp and genuine pathos masterfully.

Practical Effects

The doll effects are deeply wrong in the best way.

Best for:Solo: Late night, lights off, no interruptions.·Date Night: Only if your date's into body horror and trauma.
Heads up:Gore: Body horror escalates; third act is viscerally surgical.·Disturbing: Childhood bullying trauma depicted; mental illness stigmatized.

Reactions from the web

This is such a dark and twisted movie but the narrator and editor of this trailer makes it feel like a kids cartoon

@adnanferdousleo9528 371

I actually really enjoyed this movie...but the trailer ruins it... and this narrator sounds like he is talking about a fun family christmas film. Da fuq?

@brittanyr9471 772

I can't take this seriously with a narrator...i just can't 😂
