Greta (Lauren Cohen) arrives in the UK to take a job as a nanny to the Heelshires son Brahms however Brahms is not a child but is a doll with a realistic porcelain face. At first she believes this to be a joke however it is soon apparent that it is all too real and before the Heelshires leave for their holiday they supply Great a list of rules which must be followed without failure.

Not long after the Heelshires have left and Greta has ignored the supplied rules strange things begin to occur around the creepy old house and when Great confides in the grocery delivery man Malcolm (Rupert Evans) who tells her the back story about the human Brahms and his subsequent death so Great believes that the doll is possessed by the spirit of Brahms and begins to treat the doll as initially instructed but where her ex-boyfriend Cole (Ben Robson) shows up and starts to react angrily towards the door going so far as to smashing it the real secret behind Brahms and the house reveals itself.

This is yet another of the creepy doll movies which have become more popular as movie themes but unfortunately this is just as bad, there’s no reasoning behind how the Heelshires bring a woman from the USA to the UK since they don’t seem to have any Internet, there’s no explanation as to who Rupert is any why the Heelshires seem to trust him, there’s the usual moments of jump scares which occur inside a dream which has been done to death at this point. The real star of the movie is the house which always gives a sense of foreboding towards something bad happening, which say a lot for the script and while the twist is at least a little different by that point I didn’t care and of course the ambiguous ending leaves it open for a sequel which I can only hope never sees the light of day.
