This Movie 'had' the potential to be scary but.

I totally agree. Dolls scare the crap out of me but when we find out it's just a Michael Myers esque weirdo the whole time that's where the movie loses me . Would've been scarier if it was more like an "unseen evil" ( if u catch my drift)
But I will say this Lauren Cohan was a joy to watch! She's so beautiful!

Oh really? I enjoyed the twist. I was expecting it to stay like a ghost/haunted/possession movie so was thrilled when it went in a different direction. Though it could've been done a lot better.

I preferred this, I don't understand what people dislike about it. I don't have a personal preference between supernatural and realistic in horror, but for me in this context the twist really worked well enough. And it was sad to think this kid killed a girl and then his parents probably tried to kill him, so he ended up deformed with two parents who were keeping him safe out of guilt but fearing him and hating it all the while. It's sad to think he is the same age as Malcolm but this is his life and all.

A possessed doll is nothing original either and imo wouldn't be scarier at all. It's exactly because he's really an adult now that his life is scary.

I would have preferred they kept it supernatural too. It was really creepy until it went into the whole cliche psychopath living in the walls. It was a lot like Housebound. There are so many movies using that cliche recently I kinda facepalmed when he came out of the wall... I was thinking, oh no, not that twist again....

I thought the twist would be when they smashed the doll his ashes were inside the head and then the spirit would get mad and lock them in. I think it would have been better and caused less plot holes.

i kind of liked this movie up until adult human/still alive Brahms came crawling out of the wall. up to that point i actually enjoyed the movie very much. i didn't outright hate the alive Brahms slasher ending (since i like slasher movies) but the supernatural doll parts of the movie were good and they should have kept it 100% supernatural.

I was disappointed by the twist, mainly because it was obvious but not quite obvious enough. There were so many clues that they practically spelled it out. But I wish they had actually spelled it out so that instead of it being a weak twist, the audience knew all along and the movie was more about watching her unravel.

I think it could have been so much more creepy if we also got to see from Brahms's point of view as he was tricking her into believing in ghosts.

Opinions vary; this twist comes at the end, so how can you say the entire film lacks a scare factor because of a twist contained in the last 15-20 minutes? I found not one iota of this movie to be remotely suspenseful or scary in the slightest, though I will say that I enjoyed the twist and didn't expect it at all.
