Child's Play Reviews
Classic horror film, with tons of laughs!
This is an absolutely great horror movie, that will make you laugh out loud. The " Child's Play " series has always been a fun series to watch, with it's wonderful gore, wonderful humor and ofcourse the wonderful Chucky! I always have had a great time laughing while watching these movies. And I can't wait for the next film. I mean it's so funny watching Chucky killing people, because he's so little, and it's also so funny that in every one of these films he's ultimately determined! Chucky is just a wondeful horror villain. Chucky has been spawned by the great horror villains, Freddy, Jason, Michael Myers, Leatherface, Norman Bates, Pinhead etc. And coming along with these other great horror villains of many sequels, Chucky has even homaged them in " Bride Of Chucky. " Well, here's your plot to the film that introduced the little one! Andy Barclay's this little fan of the GOOD GUYS t.v. show. He watches it all the time. And when it's revealed that GOOD GUY dolls are being released, he's just gotta have one! Eventually his mother, played by Katherine Hicks, purchases one of the GOOD GUY dolls off of a homeless man. Only, this doll isn't your ordinary hug-buddy, he's been possessed by the soul of the lake-shore strangler, Charles Lee Ray a.k.a. Chucky. And all hell breaks loose!
A good attempt...
This is pretty good. I mean, it sets a good scene, and the suspense when it finally picks up is good. The downside is the pacing. The movie goes along very slowly and of the playing time of around 90 minutes, I'd say 65 or so was dry, boring moments. That aside, the acting is pretty lame -- Catherine Hicks and Alex Vincent are the exceptions. But Maggie's fall out of the window looks particuarly fake.
All that aside, the movie is good. I mean for a late 80's flick, the SFX deliver pretty well. Chucky looks a little less realistic than in the next couple, but he really is spooky. The movie was a good concept.
A good starter to a great series. Yes, you should rent or buy it.
