Plot

Paul Otto, a successful lawyer, and his wife Jenny, an artist, live in a quiet suburban home with their young son, Gene. Concerned about their elderly housekeeper Agatha's declining mental state, they decide to dismiss her. Before leaving, Agatha gives Gene a vintage doll named Robert as a parting gift.

Shortly after Agatha's departure, strange occurrences begin to plague the household. Furniture is found overturned, objects are mysteriously moved, and unsettling giggles echo through the house at night. Gene insists that Robert is responsible for these disturbances, claiming the doll is alive. Jenny starts to believe her son's claims, especially after discovering the word "die" scrawled on a mirror and witnessing the destruction of one of her paintings.

As the supernatural events escalate, Jenny becomes increasingly convinced of Robert's malevolent nature. She suspects the doll of pushing their cleaner, Martha, down the stairs and causing the death of the babysitter, Marcie. However, Paul remains skeptical, attributing Jenny's fears to her past mental health issues.

The family's attempts to rid themselves of the cursed doll prove futile, as Robert's sinister presence continues to torment them. The film culminates in a chilling realization that the true source of the haunting is not the house itself, but the seemingly innocent doll gifted to their son.
