But she begins discovering the family in the dollhouse being in positions she did not leave them. Worse yet, there’s now a severed head in the dollhouse, and when Evie is out of the room it takes to decapitating her dolls. Frightened of the thing but resolved to defeat it, Evie picks the head up from the dollhouse and chucks it across the room, at which point it grows to human size.
