The Doll 2

2017 ·1h 56m · ★ 5.3 (46)

A mother uses her deceased daughter's doll as a medium to communicate with her, but the consequences are chilling.

Why it matters

A quiet descent into maternal grief twisted by supernatural dread, The Doll 2 mines familiar haunted toy motifs with unsettling intimacy.

  • Builds tension through intimate family drama rather than cheap scares—grief feels tangible, not just setup.
  • Practical effects on the doll’s subtle movements evoke classic haunted object chills without overdoing CGI.
  • Fans of slow-burn, psychological hauntings like The Babadook or Annabelle will find a moody sibling here.
  • May frustrate those craving gore or action—this one’s about atmosphere and emotional unease, not jump scares.
