It's still firmly within the uncanny valley. That effect doesn't only apply to facial features - in this case it applies to the humanoid shape of the robot, which carries its own set of instinct-driven expectations. For example, some people think owls are creepy because of how far around they can turn their heads, even though they aren't even humanoid. But you see the same effect in horror movies, spinning heads or bodies that move in unexpected ways.
