What kind of watch this is
John R. Leonetti directs this 99-minute horror, which leans on the weight of a specific object rather than broad supernatural events. The hook is simple: a vintage doll becomes a vessel for genuine menace after satanic cultists invade the home. It is a quiet, dread-filled watch where the threat feels personal, anchored by Annabelle Wallis and Ward Horton as the couple trapped in the dark. The tension comes from the silence between the scares, not the volume of them. It is the kind of film that makes you check the corners of your own room.
What the critics said
Rotten Tomatoes holds a 28% score as of June 2026, with an average rating of 4.4/10. Metacritic lands on 37 out of 100, a figure it labels generally unfavorable. The consensus suggests the film borrows from better horror movies without earning the scares. Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter called the acting unmemorable, noting the script is too formulaic to be forgotten. Scott Foundas of Variety described it as a cut-rate spinoff that relies on crude shock effects rather than craft.
What came next for the cast
Alfre Woodard arrived from 12 Years a Slave, then jumped into Captain America: Civil War. The genre shift is jarring, but the range is there. Annabelle Wallis came from Peaky Blinders and left for The Mummy. Ward Horton went from The Wolf of Wall Street to Ford v Ferrari. The credits list the sequence. They cannot prove the 2014 film caused the pivot. It likely just sat in the middle of a very busy decade.
