Mr. Buttons is one of those eerie little gems that slips under the radar. The film revolves around a seemingly innocent doll that, as you can guess, has a much darker side. The atmosphere is unsettling, with a creeping dread that builds as the little girl discovers the doll's wish-granting abilities, but those wishes rarely lead to anything good. The practical effects are surprisingly effective, and they elevate the horror without relying too heavily on CGI. Performances are decent, capturing that unsettling innocence of childhood intertwined with something sinister. It’s that blend of whimsy and horror that makes Mr. Buttons linger in your mind long after viewing. Not your typical doll movie, it offers a unique twist on the consequences of desire.
