A divorced mother of one is thrown into turmoil when her young daughter becomes obsessed with an evil doll left behind by the previous occupants of their new home. Finders Keepers is a 2014 TV Movie Starring Jaime Pressly and Tobin Bell (That guy is obsessed with Killing Dolls a lot) and it's actually a good horror film for a boring Saturday if you ask me. For example the acting is better than i expected and Pressly does a nice job as the mom and although the film references other horror films such as The Exorcist, Annabelle and Chucky and some certain kills are indeed over the top it's still a fun horror film that has a good balance of gore and story but also actors that truly seem to try especially that little girl is creepy. If you can pass some of the casual flaws that this particular Genre has you might actually enjoy this movie. (7.5/10)

A fan of doll movies, this one is way up there, i luckily found it i think in a Family Video store. I bought it instantly. Many of these types or horror in general to many people are usually very picky on grading good movies badly.Here you already got a creepy doll, just picture yourself in these movies, for starters and the doll is already creepy. It possesses the girl badly you can tell even when the doll is hurting herself by slapping her face to get the mother in trouble! I mean i was like Damnnn, thats like some vicious stuff, i was like blown away, seeing her hit her own face and were talking of a little girl repeatedly slapping her own face to get her mother in trouble saying she abused her! The doll also was causing so much evil and death, i mean like wow, and not many movies Especially the movie THE BOY didn't do any of this and it had a higher rating, Shakes my head. This movie is cool creepy and fun, unlike most horror movies out today that are too CGI and too lame, with this movie its more of a Annabelle. But even better, i think, through i like that movie too and bought it has well. I just think this had a more evil doll, through Annabelle did too, but more spooky and did more. I love it, despite what others think i watch a movie i suck myself into it lock myself deep into what the writer and everyone is trying to show and if its good i love it if not i don't, and i for one love it. 83%

This movie had several very scary moments, from beginning. It starts off with a bang. But there were also quite a few parts that had me rolling my eyes and shaking my head starting with the mom allowing her daughter to keep a doll that looked that creepy, especially when she found out about the previous owner. Anyone would have separated the girl from the doll that day.Instead the mother goes to visit the boy who owned the doll previously to ask him why he did what he did. Huh? who would do that? Yet even after that she allowed the daughter keep the doll. Further I doubt they would have let the mother waltz in and speak to the boy *alone* considering the crime he had committed.Another thing that got me is that even as the bodies were piling up, the police were only called once. I felt so sorry for the mother's friend who told them how to break the curse. Did they even call 911 for her? Also we never got the full story regarding the doll, how it became so evil etc.I was going to give this 6 stars for watch-ability because it was very entertaining. Yeah, I'll still give it 6 stars. 5 would mean it was humdrum average, but it certainly was not.

For SyFy, Finders Keepers is not so bad and is a long way from their worst. As a movie in general though, it does have some good things and looks like some effort went into it but it doesn't quite come together. Starting with the positives, the movie actually looks good(and for a SyFy movie that is quite a compliment), with some very effective lighting, crisp editing and unobtrusive camera work. The music does create some atmosphere, not an exceptional one by all means but it fits the movie and doesn't try to be too obvious, the doll is very creepy-looking and there are some scary moments. A few performances come over quite well, the best of the lot coming from Kylie Rogers who is both adorable and terrifying, while Jaime Pressley is a sympathetic and somewhat touching mother figure. Most of the acting is not particularly strong, consisting of a lot of under-acting with Patrick Muldoon phoning it in, and Tobin Bell is wasted.Finders Keepers as said has some moments that are scary and suspenseful, they only came in spades rather than the movie being continually creepy. Most of the movie was lacking in scares and atmosphere for me, it was more predictable than suspenseful, the gore and scare factor were too toned down a lot of the time and a lot of moments that should have been scary came across as silly instead. The characters are almost impossible to root for and connect with, they are very underdeveloped and you get frustrated with how stupid some of their actions are as a consequence perhaps of focusing too much on the relationship between Rogers and Pressley's characters and side-lining everybody else which was a large part of why most of the acting did not register.The direction is technically competent but when it comes to maintaining momentum, atmosphere and making the characters and chemistry interesting it fails, and the dialogue is often horrid, the worst of which enough to make one cringe. The story had bags of potential and effort clearly was made to it with a very original idea, but it was a case of trying to do too much and not explaining enough, making it feel muddled and underwritten. Some of the plot twists border on idiotic, as seen in the senseless ending, and the story feels too padded out in places. And I wish they did more with the doll, it is a very creepily-designed character but there is a real sense that the writers weren't sure what it was, offering at least four different explanations as to what it really was but it was never made clear which one it actually was. Overall, for SyFy Finders Keepers was watchable but was in personal opinion was very lacking. It is not as though there isn't any talent on display here because there is, it is such a shame that that just didn't come across here. 4/10 Bethany Cox
