Summary:
A young woman confronts the cursed Robert doll when she becomes the new custodian at a museum where the deadly toy is displayed.
Synopsis: Show/Hide SpoilersA police officer sneaks the cursed Robert doll out of evidence and clandestinely sells it to wealthy businessman Walter Berenson, who puts the doll on display in his museum.
College student Emily Barker arrives at Berenson’s museum in East Falls to begin work as the night shift’s new cleaning assistant. Emily meets head custodian Ethel Mason as well as security guards Kevin Underwood and Stan Graves. Ethel shows Emily the popular Robert exhibit and explains that many patrons believe Robert is possessed.
Odd occurrences lead Emily to sense something is strange about Robert. Emily and Kevin go to a diner together after work and gradually begin a romance.
Robert suffocates Stan with a plastic bag while Stan is on his rounds. Kevin finds Stan’s body. Detective Bill Atkins and Officer Sardy open an investigation. Berenson tersely insists that the incident must not interfere with museum operations.
Days later, Robert puts a screwdriver into Ethel’s head. Detective Atkins interviews Emily about the homicides. Emily mentions that something doesn’t feel right about the Robert doll, but Atkins dismisses her suggestion.
Emily and Kevin research the doll’s history. They discover the previous case of Jennifer Otto, who claimed Robert was responsible for murdering her husband and a babysitter, even though her ten-year-old son was charged for the crimes.
Emily and Kevin visit Jenny at the East State Mental Hospital. Jenny tells them that the doll is possessed by the spirit of murdered boy Robert Crow. While it was initially believed that Jenny’s former housekeeper Agatha imbued the doll with evil, a psychic later revealed that Agatha’s brother Amos Blackwood was responsible. However, Jenny was unable to track down Blackwood and suspects he assumed a different identity.
Suspecting that Berenson might be Blackwood, Kevin bluffs that he copied deleted CCTV footage proving Robert killed Stan and Ethel to blackmail Berenson into meeting with him. Kevin and Emily report their suspicion that Berenson tampered with evidence to Detective Atkins.
Kevin and Emily meet with Berenson. Berenson pulls a gun on Kevin. Robert suddenly stabs Berenson to death and later cuts Kevin’s throat with a razor blade. Emily decapitates Robert and collapses afterward. Atkins and Sardy find her unconscious.
Emily wakes in a hospital bed with Detective Atkins over her. Emily insists that Robert killed Berenson and Kevin. Atkins explains that they did not find the doll before placing Emily under arrest for all four murders.
Officer Sardy sells the Robert doll to the Toymaker. The Toymaker repairs the doll and casts a spell on it. As Robert comes to life along with other animated dolls in the workshop, the Toymaker says, “let the games begin.”
Review:
My dislike of North Bank Entertainment productions is well documented in reviews of “Night of the Living Dead: Resurrection” (review here), “The Amityville Asylum” (review here), “A Haunting at the Rectory” (review here), “Poltergeist Activity” (review here), and the first “Robert” film (review here). North Bank’s apathetic assembly line of DTV rubbish is wholly unconcerned with content quality, dependent exclusively on eye-catching artwork and tying into a public property or urban legend to snag checkout line impulse buys.
With zero discernible improvement in storytelling or technical execution over this span of output, there is no reason to expect anything other than disappointment from “The Curse of Robert.” Watching it anyway can be blamed on my Charles Band childhood for instilling an addiction to B-movie sequels featuring killer toys, thereby overruling common sense founded on overwhelming empirical evidence. That’s a fitting reference since filmmaker Andrew Jones fashions himself as a UK-based Band, except Jones’ minimal-effort movies are just cheap and cheesy, without any of the charm Full Moon formerly put forth.
Maybe “The Curse of Robert” is marginally better than its predecessor. Though “Robert’s” bar is embedded so deep in the ground, it’s not like this sequel has to leave its feet to get over it.
At least this movie somewhat sticks to the story of the real-life Robert, something the first film barely does, by being set in a museum where the purportedly possessed plaything is causing trouble from his display case. “The Curse of Robert” even pays tribute to the doll’s sailor suit by regularly inducing seasickness, refusing to spend five seconds on a tripod for even the most basic establishing shots.
Dastardly museum owner Walter Berenson clandestinely acquires Robert from an officer who pinched it from police evidence. With stories spreading about the doll’s possibly evil origins, curious patrons have been coming by Berenson’s new display in droves for a snapshot. Berenson couldn’t be more pleased, because you know how lucrative a roadside tourist trap must be for a manicured businessman looking to rake in big bucks.
After seven minutes of prologue including an opening credits driving sequence, college student Emily becomes the new employee at Berenson’s museum, which looks something like a Sears stockroom circa 1987. It’s also barely bigger than said stockroom, making its night shift crew of two security guards and two custodians overstaffed by at least three people.
Almost immediately, Emily senses something strange about the dopey-looking doll encased in glass. Emily’s boss Ethel and schlubby security guard Stan are more interested in thumbing through tabloids than they are in the new girl’s nervousness. Handsome security guard Kevin however, lends Emily an ear. He gives her his eyes too, as the pair predictably strikes up a workplace romance by bonding over Emily’s suspicions regarding Robert.
Not long after, the first body hits the floor. Emily is certain Robert is responsible. Detective Atkins thinks Emily makes a more plausible suspect. When a second victim turns up, Emily enlists Kevin’s help to track down the doll’s former owner and solve the mystery, lest she be left holding the bag for these Berenson museum butcherings.
If it were possible to make a movie by exerting any less effort, “The Curse of Robert” would have certainly tried. Every drab camera setup, every monotone dialogue delivery, every hokey piece of puppetry screams, “let’s just get this over with.”
Cinematography, a term too good to describe the low-rent aesthetic on display here, is shoddily two-dimensional. If a scene takes place in daylight, forget about finding a shadow anywhere with photography this flat. Only one gaffer is credited and he pulled double duty as an assistant camera, so who knows if anyone did any calculated lighting.
Emily and Kevin visit Jenny at the East State Mental Hospital. Jenny tells them that the doll is possessed by the spirit of murdered boy Robert Crow. While it was initially believed that Jenny’s former housekeeper Agatha imbued the doll with evil, a psychic later revealed that Agatha’s brother Amos Blackwood was responsible. However, Jenny was unable to track down Blackwood and suspects he assumed a different identity.
Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with a delicious meal, Black Girl Magic Red Wine offers a truly magical experience. The deep red hues, inviting aroma, and complex flavors all come together to create a wine that is as enchanting as the women it pays homage to. In conclusion, Black Girl Magic Red Wine is not just a beverage, but a celebration of black beauty, excellence, and empowerment. With each sip, it is a reminder of the incredible feats women of color have achieved and continue to pursue. Indulge in the magic and embrace the empowering spirit of Black Girl Magic Red Wine..
Reviews for "Red Wine and the Essence of Black Girl Magic"
1. Sarah - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the Black Girl Magic red wine, but I was quite disappointed. The taste was extremely strong and overwhelming, making it difficult to enjoy. Additionally, I found the aftertaste to be quite bitter and unpleasant. I would not recommend this wine to those who prefer a more subtle and smooth flavor profile.
2. Michael - 1 star - The Black Girl Magic red wine was a major letdown for me. The aroma was unappealing and reminded me of cheap boxed wine. As for the taste, it was overly acidic and lacked any complexity. I couldn't even finish my glass and decided to pour the rest down the sink. It's safe to say I won't be purchasing this wine again.
3. Emily - 2 stars - I am usually a fan of red wines, but the Black Girl Magic red wine just didn't do it for me. The texture was quite thin and lacked the richness I expect from a red wine. The flavor was also quite one-dimensional and didn't evolve or improve with each sip. Overall, I found it to be a forgettable and underwhelming experience.
