Greta (Lauren Cohen) needs to get away and applies to become the Nanny for the Heelshire family in a remote British village. When she is first introduced to their son Brahms, she can only laugh when she sees that he is just a doll. But, the parents are very serious and give her a list of rules to follow while tending to Brahms.  Soon, she starts to fear that Brahms is more than a doll afterall.

I think I liked this movie more than I should have. It is pretty creepy!! The doll is very unnerving. And, while logic tells you that a doll CANNOT do actual human things, this doll does appear to be doing something. Of course, as soon as I started freaking out, I would have been on the next plane back to America but then there wouldn't have been a movie. There is plenty of suspense and you are kept guessing as to exactly where this movie was going. You think you know but then there are a few twists and turns. I like scary movies, so I had fun. If you like horror films, this is a decent one. Go see it.
