“The Nest” (*1/2 out of four) was a muddled horror thriller about a troubled child (Maple Suttles) who buys a cute stuffed teddy bear at a garage sale but subsequently finds out that it is possessed and filled with parasitic creatures that enhance the girl’s anxiety and trauma and put an additional strain on her hard-working mother (Sarah Navratil) and grandmother (Dee Wallace). Creepy storyline and atmosphere goes nowhere slowly as film becomes overly glum and grim. Nice to see Wallace still cashing checks in token horror roles but this is pretty much a “nest” of cliches.
