Robert The Doll (2015) and Curse Of Robert The Doll (2016) were awful films, truly appalling poorly made messes.
For this reason I was stunned they made anymore, and even more stunned when I realised that this one isn't actually bad.
The Toymaker otherwise known as Robert & The Toymaker is a huge improvement. For a start the cast are great, the opening scene especially was extremely good and filled with tension.
Next the movie takes a new direction and isn't another mindless killer doll movie, this origin story is less action and more substance.
There is still plenty of stupidity on display, some ropey sfx, unanswered questions and some clear influence from the Puppet Master franchise but it's a step up from the previous films regardless.
I'd not say this is a good film and I'd recommend it to nobody, what I will say however is the creators are at least heading in the right direction which makes me hope the 4th part will be entertaining.
The Good:
Some decent performances
Great opening
The Bad:
Toymakers makeup effects are terrible
Doesn't actually have much of a story
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
During World War 2 Germans spoke English in their home country
Despite having no joints in a dolls fingers they can still pick things up
