Bailee returns to her childhood home with novelist boyfriend Tom in tow, but she begins having episodes and worries that she's going schizophrenic like her mum, not suspecting that the cottage's resident Humpty Dumpty doll might be messing with her.
The first movie was an effective low-budget schlocker, but the second one went off the rails with a story centering on a cult at a camp for teens... or something like that (it was unmemorably bad). This one tries to revert to the original formula, although its ties to the earlier film are pretty clunky (and consist only of brief cameos before and after the movie of the shopkeeper creating the Humpty Dumpty doll). It greatly benefits from a decent script with a few twists, although the doll doesn't quite get the focus that he should (even the second film was more successful at portraying him as creepy).
Nothing groundbreaking here, and it probably won't linger in the recesses of my memorybank the way that the first one has, but it's definitely an upgrade from the last film.
