Killer Under the Bed

 

This is a 2018 Lifetime Horror, or supernatural thriller directed by Jeff Hare. The stars includes Kristy Swanson, Brec Bassinger and Madison Lawlor. 

A girl moves into a new house with her mother and big sister, and then she discovers a strange looking doll in the shed with pins stuck in it. Realising she has a voodoo doll with magical powers, she uses it to stop her sister bullying her and it works. She uses the doll's powers again for other sticky situations and to make her handsome teacher like her. While this has been her favourite toy, it has some terrible consequences of using it. 

While the film has some very mild horror theme to it, with a big creepy house in the woods, and eerie books about the occult in a school library. There are some amusing scenes but also ridiculous ones too. One of the most well made and the film's highlight is when the doll pushes itself up through the ground like a zombie. Despite the film's name, there are no deaths, only violence, although the doll is a psychopath who wants to kill someone. I rate this a lukewarm 4/10.
