The movie was ok for a super cheese, and if you like chucky, you might like this. It is very similar, just he has magic this time around :)

I had to laugh a lot
kamilnic7 August 2021
After reading description of this movie I lowered my expectations and, damn, how satisfied I was in the end of this awesomeness.
Girl finds a voodoo doll that she use for own cases, whatever it is, but all comes eventually back at her.
I thought later that It could be fine if they just keep this doll as a sort of weapon, like it is in the first half of the movie and make it psychological, character-based drama thriller. But no, few inch doll of about 1kilogram weight can walk very fast, jump, wound or kill grown up people, hold the door against somebody and pull the bodies. I have to say, the doll self looks fantastically creepy and my wife wants actually buy a copy of it. We will hang it in the living room.
Acting is all over the place, skipping from scene to scene, one moment is serious, second later absurdly over the top, next moment actresses do like it's last day on set. Subplot about teacher is pretty cringy, but pretends to be creepy. I had to wonder why Kilee doesn't call police or even the school and talk about him. All the other teachers and students see what's going on but nobody reacts. You have to check out hilarious reactions and acting of background characters, like this doctor guy. Characters makes some dumb decisions that nobody with just a bit of intelligence would ever do. End is lazy, they live happily forever after and nobody cares.
The creators had obviously paper thin budget and it shows, everything happened in just a few locations, special effects are almost non existent or cheap, doll makes a noises of a cheetah.
I was sitting through the most of the time with big smile on my face, chuckled from time to time, often bursting with laught.
I recommend it only if you are a fan of tv quality camp or b movies, just like me. In any other circumstances, don't waste your time.

More Comedy than Horror

One of the funniest movies I have ever seen although it was meant to be serious: Teenage girl Kilee finds a voodoo doll she uses to fight back the people who harass her and her mom. It really works but when she tries to get rid of the doll things get worse.
Chris Prascus is hillarious as Mr. McCabe, the teacher Kilee puts a spell on so he likes her. He then falls in love with her and the scenes where he tries to take her out for a date belong to the funniest moments in film history. Seriously! Kristin Carey as Dr. Ryder, who gets totally nuts after Kilee puts the spell on her, is also worth watching.
The last 10 minutes of this movie were so funny I almost fell off my chair. Kristy Swanson as Kilee's mother fights against the voodoo doll and looks like she asks herself "What the **** am I doing here?" but Madison Lawlor as Kilee's sister Chrissy even tops that performance. When the doll takes over her body she overacts in a way that you just can't stop laughing and laughing.
If you're into Ed-Wood movies and really bad horror movies this one is perfect for you! Huge fun!

It's so bad
lora-jen25 October 2021
Just so bad, but not the so bad it's good. Just bad.
Kristy Swanson is an especially bad actress.
This was even too cringey to have on as just background noise. Thanks Netflix, I hate it.
Try the 1987 movie Dolls - the special effects haven't changed here.

Time killer under Netflix
erhanipekciler19 September 2021
This is super boring TV movie, I think just Netflix added to list just for filling to category. Super boring, super predictable, super cliche, super boring teenagers characters...you can skip it. I am sure you did watch better version of that before.
Laughable

Killer Under the Bed... Cheesy but fun TV Horror Flick
bazookamouth-221-89809727 March 2023
I found Kristy Swanson's plastic surgery more scary than the voodoo doll. What happened to her face? That upper lip surely gets her a part in a future Planet of the Apes movie. Some wooden characters that came across fun were the school bully, the teacher and the crazed dentist lady.. Kirsty's mom came across as more annoying as she didnt really have much to do other than play mom to two daughters one likeable,the lead, one unlikeable. Why wouldn't the oldest sister not intervene with the bullying. They just moved house and region and both started in the new school and that stalking teacher would surely have been observed. All in all despite the cheese its better than a lot of horrors out there.. I thought the young lead actress did well carrying th movie and the doll was creepy enough. Sure it goes a bit wacky at the end but it was fine.
The cast of the film is writing the good reviews...
savanaraef18 September 2021
Honestly. This is the worst movie I have EVER seen. And I've watched PLENTY of movies. Stupid storyline. Supposed to be a horror, but each scene is laughable. I almost died of laughter after that 5 inch doll tried to pull a door open. Anyways, avoid this movie. Just wasted another Friday night.
Successful horror for Lifetime!
phd_travel1 March 2019
Warning: Spoilers
There are some movies that grip the viewer from the get go and this is one of them. It's not that often that Lifetime movies do that so this is a treat compared to their recent horror ventures. Two teen sisters and their widowed mom move into a house. There is a voodoo doll that casts spells on people. Comes in handy when the younger girl discovers it. It's delightful as she uses it against a school bully, to get a teacher to like her, her mother's nasty colleague etc. But of course with black magic there's a price to pay.
Kristy Swanson plays Mom and Brec Bassinger plays the younger daughter well.
Hopefully Lifetime horror standards will continue improving like this.

Black comedy masterpiece or horror movie crap
farmernelly1 March 2022
This movie was like watching a Disney special but with a lower budget.
In saying this though half way through when I realised this was not a horror movie as such but a black comedy, it's actually quite hilarious.
If you want to watch a horror movie this is not the pick for you, but if you want a good laugh with really bad effects and a terrible (but funny af) script than buckle up you'll love it.

Better as a Comedy
heatherborden199619 October 2021
Look, I may not have been expecting much when I turned this on on Netflix a few days ago, but I definitely wasn't expecting THAT!
This movie is so stupid, and in the best way possible. The doll is easily the best part of the movie, the way it moves and growls and screams. Even better is the way the camera moves trying to make it look like the doll is actually "attacking" people. The best moment of the movie is easily when that stupid looking thing punches it's hand through the ground after being buried, like he's the god damn Mummy.
I laughed my ass off, just everything about it is hilarious, especially the attack scene in the car, and the final climax.
Definitely watch this as a comedy, and not a serious horror movie. You'll enjoy yourself a lot more.

It's a creepy voodoo doll
reganjab17 March 2023
Brilliantly crap.
It's terribly good but it's so bad.
Typical run of the mill horror stuff about a voodoo doll and a naive girl who uses it without considering the consequences.
I say horror, more comedy.
I love bad movies like these. I love being able to just switch my brain off and revel in the crappy, cheesiness of a bad movie.
I had a blast with this movie. It's just so much fun.
I highly recommend it if you want to be entertained.
I have to keep writing even though I've said everything I want. But IMDB wants this to be a least 600 characters. What more can I say. It's a cheesy horror movie with a creepy voodo doll that is alive and it possesses people.
Yeah did it met the minimum requirement. At last.

A Great Homage to Classic Horror!!!
draked-6720727 October 2018
This film finds away to blend together modern and classic horror with creative storytelling, camera techniques, and clever sound design. The lead actors have amazing chemistry. You'll Laugh, You'll Scream, You'll cheer for Killer Under the Bed!
Nice thriller
nashira19923 August 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Not much of horror but more thriller. Reminded me of Chucky only with magic. Never forget, magic comes with a price. Not bad at all, quite liked it. Bit cheesy and predictable in some parts, but still a nice movie. Open ending reminded me of some movies that Stephen King made.
Crawling towards you
kosmasp26 September 2021
Have to admit, one can imagine a lot of things with that title, but I doubt the first thing that would come to your mind is the thing that is depicted in the movie. Having said that, it kind of works. Even if most of the time you may not be sure if you are actually scared or are about to burst out laughing - because of how ridiculous certain scenes are.
It is quite well edited all things considered. One of the main things being the budget, the other our ... evil character involved here. The very ending is so horror cliche that I would not be surprised if there is a sequel ... I have not checked if this is the case ... I am not really that interested in watching it. On the other hand I've seen so many bad movies, one more that isn't too bad wouldn't hurt I reckon ...

Worst
maryagoretti-127267 April 2024
The worst thriller movie I have ever seen. This movie is a complete waste of time especially if you are a thriller movie fanatic. Furthermore, the film attempts at generating fear or unease through its suspenseful moments fall flat due to poor execution. The pacing is uneven, with prolonged periods of monotony punctuated by rushed and contrived arrempts at shock value. As a result, the film fails to establish a consistent atmosphere of tension, leaving viewers disengaged and apathetic towards the unfolding events.
As a viewer we are left yearning for a more fulfilling cinematic experience, one that stimulates our intellect, rather than resorting to tired tropes and formulaic storytelling.

Falls Apart During Second Half
AshleyReviews16 April 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I won't give away the topic of this movie as I don't want to spoil it for anyone scrolling by, but if you're a fan of this type of movie, it is interesting. The intro scene is cheesy, but once you get past that, it really feels like it has some promise at first. I was entertained by the movie until about half way through when things started to get more cheesy. By the last 1/4 of the movie or so, things got more and more ridiculous to the point that by the end I was just glad it was over. I had fun watching until about halfway through as mentioned, but it was downhill from there. 4/10.
