Curse of Humpty Dumpty was the eighteenth film from British director Scott Jeffrey. Jeffrey made his first film in 2018 and in the four years since 2017 has made more than fifty films as producer – which is averaging ten films a year – and four, sometimes more, per year as director. This is a production schedule that rivals something like that of the world’s most prolific directors like Jess Franco and Sam Newfield in their heyday. (See below for Scott Jeffrey’s other genre films as director).
Humpty Dumpty is a children’s nursery rhyme that goes back to the 18th Century in its earliest recorded version, although probably originates earlier than that. In the nursery rhyme, the title character sits on a wall and falls where all the king’s men and horses come but cannot put him back together again. In the original texts, there is no specific connotation that Humpty is an egg, although that is the interpretation taken by all modern tellings. There has been some attempts to pinpoint historical antecedents of the term – that Humpty Dumpty was a nickname for a short, rotund individual or for a mediaeval cannon that fell after the king’s army were trying to raise it up a castle wall.
There have been a number of films over the years that give us malevolent versions of characters from Fairytales . Indeed, around the same time, Scott Jeffrey also produced several other horror takes on nursery rhymes and children’s stories with the likes of Toof (2019) about the Tooth Fairy, The Legend of Jack and Jill (2021) and Curse of Jack Frost (2022), most of which have produced sequels, and then had quite a reasonable success with Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey (2023).

Child’s Play (1988) and Annabelle (2014) and sequels to either.
To its credit, Curse of Humpty Dumpty produces a malevolent-looking doll, which looks particularly evil once it starts advancing on people with its mouthful of razor sharp teeth open. The main problem is that, aside from one or two deaths, the film never ends up doing much. The problem is also the screenplay’s conceptual point-of-view that seems to shift around between ideas about evil dolls, Devil Worship and something that what happened in the past with Nicola Wright’s husband. Certainly, Scott Jeffrey makes a film that has an undeniable polish – it doesn’t look like a B movie – but it never quite moves as tightly as you want it to.
