First time I feel pushed to give a movie a bad rating. After watching The Nun, which is not considered a good movie by critics, I was so surprised, that was a real horror movie! Then I saw this, expecting a lot, and yeeeeew, I am thankful I didn't spend money at the theater to see this pile of '80s cliché and dejà-vu. It's hard to find good horror stories when you are 40 and you have been a fun of the genre for 40 years. Well, this is simply not a good story, it's barely a horror story. They just wanted to find a background story for that potentially inspiring collection of evil items in the cellar and made a simple and stupid one for each of them. Waxwork 30 years ago was a better movie compared to this. Why ruin such a well designed universe by linking useless and surely uninvolving stories to unveil the mysthery behind those "souvenirs"? They had the potential and the material for something great, but instead they managed to produce a huge flop. They only had to carefully select items and find an interesting story related to them, not so difficult right? Wrong. Item one plus bad story one. Item 2 with bad story 2. Item 3 and bad story 3. And then there's a doll...doing more or less the same obvious things for 3 movies...it gets boring and unwatchable. Acting is ok. Atmoshpere is ok-ish. Plot is meh...was it really a trouble to expand each story a little bit more and go a tad deeper instead of showing a series of monster with the usual peekaboo! style? The only good thing they did is presenting the 3 main characters in a way that provided a good support for a very thin plot.
