Ok so creepy ass doll,good looking nanny,old people clearly off their rockers, this has the makings of a great film. now its PG-13 mind you so even though its for diaper babies, it has a certain charm and feel of an old thriller, and that can be refreshing . not every movie has to be an absolute gore fest. i mean isn't that why the millennium babies are broken toys now?

Lauren Cohen can do know wrong as usual,she is the princess Lea of the 21st century minus the golden Bikini. So without ruining the story the basic idea of the film is Greta Evans, played by Lauren, needs to escape a bad break up with someone and decides to take a job being a nanny far from her ex. when she gets to the house, which really looks like an old mansion straight out of a 70s ghost story flick,she finds out that this isn't what she expected. she soon meets the child she is supposed to be taking care of and finds out its a doll. Now i don't know about you but id have been on the next midnight train to Georgia if you catch my drift. She eventually decides to stick it out because how hard could it be to watch a doll and rake in some cash? Well as we soon find out things aren't what they appear to be. I do have to say it was nice to see Lauren not all greasy and killing zombies in the no hope scenario of The Walking Dread ... or dead I mean... anyway..... if you have some time to kill check out this movie , its really not too bad of a flick. check out the trailer below and see if its your cup of tea...
