31 Days of Horror 2026 Day 28 The Curse of Humpty Dumpty

 

TITLE-The  Curse of Humpty Dumpty

SOURCE-Scream Factory DVD


Might have been 2 years ago I watched what I found out later was the 2nd part of this UK based horror trilogy. It wasn't amazing but it also wasn't total shit. Found this triple feature,where they cram 3 films on  one side of a dvd...

Two sisters learn their mother has dementia. So they take her back to the old family house out in the country to care for her. Once there they get settled in. See how hard it is to deal with a loved one with dementia. A doll that looks like the nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty is found and that is when shit starts to happen.

Over the past 5 or so years there has been  a flood of cheap horror movies made in the woods of the UK. Some are good,some are bad. Having seen 2 of the 3 Humpty Dumpty films I can  say this franchise so far leans towards the good side.

The acting from  the 3 leads is good. The two sisters feel like real sisters. Arguing but still being there for their mom. The mother is great. She really appears to  be  suffering from dementia. The rest of the cast isn't as good.

Humpty Dumpty looks creepy. Decent  practical fx worked used to make him  appear to be alive,along with some guy in a suit shots.

I know at one time this trilogy was on Peacock. Betting Tubi has them all. Go give the first  one a try.

The Curse of Humpty Dumpty gets a C+
