- TriviaThe family home in which the movie takes place is an exact replica of the home in 'House' (1986)
- GoofsVarious newspaper clippings are shown throughout the movie, with some humorous text. A clipping from "The Herald" contains "Speaking of Central American folklore, why are you still reading this? Don't you have something more important to be doing? If I had a dollar for every time..." An online article contains the text: "Not a stolen care. Stolen cat. Stolen child. Other words that begin with c. [...] I really hope you aren't still reading this article because I dont have any more information to provide you. Some people died and we don't know who did it. I mean, the crazy kid with the doll probably did it, but no one wants to call a crazy child a murderer. So here we are, not pointing fingers at the kid found with a knife and blood all over him. Definitely not him. Couldn't be." And another online article ends with: "Police are the and if I just knew you'd while a bit. But really? Really? If you so much got in to the car. I don't. He don't. You is greeting. Season. It was too much. Too little? I is you have just one, just one he. If now, you is for the best. happiness? Sadness? It was the best of times it was the worst of times. If you so much as whisper, I said you're gonna. For the love of cats, what the man."

Story albeit predictable is somewhat enjoyable BUT yeah the big issue here is not the acting or or the plot which from a killer doll movie you really can't expect much from anyways.
Looking at the cover of course it made me think "ooh wee another killer doll movie like Chucky, this can be good fun if nothing else".
BUT, the doll doesn't actually move on screen it's all done behind camera or shot in a way where you can only see for instance a knife being moved around and the stabbing victim etc, you don't actually get to see the doll doing of the stabbing or making any funny remarks (like Chucky would have) while doing it.
Had it shown that this would have been a vastly more enjoyable experience, I understand that it would be hard to make it look realistic but I'd rather have them do it poorly looking than just to avoid it completely.
