It starts pretty well and does not lose a lot of time on introductions. The classic inherited old house, full of the classic creepy dolls, a traumatic event, then as an adult, she has to go back to the house. Hard to come with a more classic setup for a horror movie. It could have been good, but instead, they went for a total change in the middle with a _big twist_.

The twist being, not only not a very original one ([spoiler]she actually never escaped[/spoiler]), but even a really boring one ([spoiler]so yeah, all you imagined would happen in the intro ? well you're gonna see it and it's the whole movie. Nothing special, nothing surnatural, nothing really.[/spoiler]) It would definitely have turned out better without it.

I was expecting a lot more, specially with the whole Lovecraft hype the movie is doing. However, turns out most of the movie from there is just a series of jumpscares, not particularly good ones.

I really don't like Mylene Farmer, but she was actually pretty good there.

Also, like a lot of Z movies (which this one isn't supposed to be), you have to go with the basics that different/ugly people are not only inherently evil, but a real special kind of psycho that you can't apprehend because it's not even human.

So yeah, the doll fetish thing is sick (how lucky was that that they found this house so full of them ?), but unless you get your kicks by watching young girls get beaten up (which apparently is the director's thing), nothing much to see here.
