Child's Play

>*"Hi, i'm Chucky, and i'm your friend to the end. Hidey-ho... Wanna play?"*

The first entry to my favorite horror franchise of all time! It just checks all the boxes for me: iconic cool-looking and layered villain, hilarious one-liners, the kills are always imaginative, the practical effects are fantastic and Chucky's a villain I always root for no matter how many times he gets kicked down he always comes back. The vibrant colors mixed with the kids and toys thematics make the perfect contrast with the horror elements. This is what I like the most about the movie, it creates a balance between innocence and pretty much murder: much like Charles Lee Ray, a serial killer being stuck in a doll's body. The contrast is what makes it so fascinating and mysteriously odd. The 80s aesthetics and the vibrant colors make it eye candy and the pacing is perfect the kills are well spread throughout the movie. It's not perfect by any means, full of plot holes, unrealistic and it's not a script that should of worked. But none of that really matters compared to the amount of cheesy fun you'll get out of this slasher. Third act is always so good, gotta love those practical effects and crazy visuals. An absolute must-watch horror classic that'll never get old!

Brad Dourif's voice is so amazing when he is pissed off. Such a joy to watch!

Anyway, Child's Play holds up very well and is still entertaining, we aren't at the one-liner Chucky yet, but hey! Serious Chucky is great too! The plot is a bit predictable but that doesn't matter, the special effects are great, the acting is okay and we have a murdering doll! CHUCKY!

Child's Play does belong in the must watch Horror films I believe because Chucky is like Freddy, Jason, Leather and Michael. People might not have seen the film, but they recognize him!

So yeah, I always enjoy watching Child's Play and maybe it is time to watch the rest of the franchise, I have seen 4 of them I think some 15 years ago, but that is so long ago, I can't really remember. So yeah! GOOOO CHUCKY!

In the end though, I just think Chucky really wanted a hug!

I thought this movie would be cheesier than it actually is. For a movie starring an animate murderous doll, it certainly does thrill. It's another fun slasher film, even with the silly premise and plot full of holes. Turn off your brain and have a good time.

That's a brilliant horror movie of 90's.Script was special and Tom Holland knew very well how to make this movie..Full of suspence and some creepy parts with powerfull ending scene. 7.5/10!

Tom Holland [Fatal Beauty, Fright Night] directs a particular horror movie which is very funny.
I loved Chucky's characterization, He's one of the best fanta-killers of the 80s.
But I have a presentiment that the sequels are better than this one.

Such a damn good thriller, that still holds up all these years later. Even with its hokey premise.

Child's Play (1988) is a masterfully suspenseful horror film that excels beyond its simple premise. The murder mystery portion of the plot is handled with surprising skill, keeping viewers guessing about the true nature of Chucky's sentience. When the twist finally arrives, the film delightfully embraces a dark, bugnuts quality, it truly hits its stride, delivering a unique and darkly comedic thrill ride.

the car scene gave me nightmares as a child, I was scared to sit anywhere thinking I'll have a knife shoved up my ass

It might be silly but this movie haunted me for years. My twin babysitters held me down and forced me to watch this when I was 4 years old and I had to rewatch it many times to get over my fear of Chucky for the longest time! The sequels get goofy but this original one is still a classic horror rewatch.
