You know the speel: young mother who spends most of her time alone with her new born baby has a weird looking doll that may or may not be rocking that chair back and forth in the nursery. The father is generally clueless about what's going on but there's a stranger who's very educated in the strange occurrences. With that you know the whole film from beginning to end because we've seen it countless times before and better than this snoozer. Being the cinematographer on The Conjuring & Insidious, Leonetti knows how to capture the look of Wan's uber-creepier films but he doesn't know how to truly scare us anywhere near as much. There's a few good jolts near the beginning but once you become familiar with the territory it gets really boring.
