![]() We cut to Andy coming home a bit early and catching Karen and her boyfriend, Shane, making out in the living room…. ![]() After some negotiation with her boss, he agrees to let her take it home. She sees this as an opportunity to take home and give to Andy for his birthday, despite red eyes being the universal sign of evil. The next day Karen is at work and accepts a return for a broken Buddi doll because it has red eyes instead of blue. She goes as far as to take his phone away, giving it back only if he goes outside to try to make friends.Īndy agrees but instead sits by himself outside of a convenience store. Andy has a hearing aid and Karen works constantly in an attempt to afford a new version for him but also wants him to make friends and be more social. We learn Karen is a widow who recently moved with her son, Andy, (played by Gabriel Bateman) to a new apartment.

Still recommend but as a lead-up to Halloween but not scary enough for Halloween.

There’s not much terror until the second half of the movie where it relies on jump scares. If a ten-year-old knife that’s never been sharpened is bad and a Carbon Steel knife is the best knife then this movie is like a pretty good hammer that feels flimsy at first but ends up being pretty useful. A disgruntled employee removes the safety settings from an artificial intelligence doll allowing it to terrorize a family in an attempt to fill its need for friendship.
