About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a straightforward haunted-doll spin-off with occasional jumpy moments and a creepy vibe, similar in spirit to Malignant; Not for you if you need constant scares or a fast-moving story.
Pros: creepy doll concept; a few tense sequences; some effective jolts | Cons: slow, repetitive pacing; thin story and dialogue; scares feel predictable
