Netflix viewers have praised the arrival of 'The Doll' franchise onto the streaming platform, as many claim it's giving them 'nightmares'. Horror films featuring haunted dolls have long been a staple of the genre ever since the 1929 classic, The Great Gabbo.
In one of the newest additions to the genre, Netflix has added the Indonesian trilogy of The Doll films. These include The Doll, The Doll 2 and Sabrina - all are available to stream on the service, with viewers taking to Twitter describe the horrifying movies.

Another, called 1988Vor, typed: "The 3rd eye, The Doll, Sabrina..They're all scary!!! on Netflix." 2105rxh put: "Watching The Doll 3 on netflix. The movie is quite a remarkable. Its like The Chucky but in an Asian way."

Describing the first instalment of the franchise on Netflix, the platform said: "Eerie things begin to happen after a man gives his wife a doll, unaware it once belonged to a girl who was murdered."
The second release in the trilogy sees a mother use her deceased daughter's doll as a medium to communicate with her, but the "consequences are chilling". The last release of the trio features a toy manufacturer and his wife being terrorised by a demon after their orphaned niece tries to call her late mother's spirit.

The trilogy has not been met with critical acclaim and is yet get a full rating on Rotten Tomatoes. All three films undoubtedly take inspiration from the wildly successful Annabelle franchise, which features a demonic doll which makes life miserable for its owners.
