The film sees a man invent a robot for his niece, but this being a horror film the lifelike doll then becomes sentient and soon turns violent and overprotective of her friend.

Greatest Days | Prime Video

What would the summer be without a feel-good musical? After the success of films like Mama Mia! the time came for a different kind of musical, one inspired by the music of Take That.
