I don't remember

Warning: Spoilers
Liz (Sian Altman) and Wendy (Antonia Whillans) Loomas take care of their mother Wendy (Nicola Wright) whose mind spends too much time in Never Never Land. They travel to the original home they lived in while growing up in hopes of it helping her dementia. While there they visit an antique shop and espy an ugly life size "Humpty Dumpty" doll that is not for sale. After some haggling the owner agrees to sell. They plan to come back tomorrow when they have the money for the doll. At home, said doll somehow shows up on their doorstep before they arrive. Other characters include Bill (Richard Harfst) longtime family gardener and Aunt Beryl (Danielle Scott) who wants the house or at least her brother's half, Wendy's husband who went missing many years ago. Beryl suspects he is dead and Wendy had a hand in it.

During the stay they play charades. First one was "Child's Play." Humpty has a mouth full of "Pennywise" teeth when he comes alive about a half hour into the film. It was an okay cheesy horror film. Some things didn't make sense considering the ending.

Guide: 1 F-word. No sex or nudity.
