'Child's Play' MOVIE REVIEW: Fantastic New Chucky Film is Gruesome, Fresh Fun - Screen Realm
A thrilling roller coaster ride with a Chucky we actually care for sympathetically.screenrealm.com
Not sure if these guys are legit but they call it “gruesome, fresh fun.”
I’m having a hard time getting over the look of the doll
I'm sure the movie is fine as a horror movie. There's some talent behind it. It's just that it's unnecessary, and disrespectful to fans and the franchise's creators.
They have been disrespectful since Bride of Chucky though. That's when the series jumped the shark and I lost interest. This reboot is the first time I've been even a bit excited to see a Child's Play movie after being disappointed with Bride of Chucky.
In short, this remake is just yet another low-effort cash-grab. Casting Mark Hammill is about the only thing it's got going for it.
I mean disrespectful to Don Mancini, who still creates stories in the same canon for the past 30 years. The story is a little complex but it basically boils down to MGM deciding they were done with horror in the 80s, causing Mancini to move to Universal for sequels; MGM maintained rights to the first film, allowing them to ignore Mancini's current canon, which is still going, and make this remake with none of the heart or effort of the original.
Personally, I love Bride of Chucky, but it should be noted that the last two Chucky films, Curse and Cult, have been straight horror (if that was your issue with Bride, which I'll argue isn't a good issue to take with it, but I won't nerd out here). Mancini is also making a Chucky television series which will be horror-focused.
In short, this remake is just yet another low-effort cash-grab. Casting Mark Hammill is about the only thing it's got going for it.
I really, really liked this one. Easily the best movie since the original 1988 one. They made Chucky sympathetic dammit, and they made it work. I've seen it refered to as a gore-fest but outside of a few quick shots the deaths are quick and relatively bloodless. Yes, you still see steel cutting flesh and a few body parts but it isn't as violent as the reviews made me believe it'd be. There's a few OUTSTANDING visual gags in the murder scenes that will make any horror fan giggle in pure joy.
A great cast, a killer score, a sympathetic killer doll, you actually feel for and a zany third act straight out of I dunno, Chopping Mall meets Gremlins. It's a real fun time at the movies.

Yes, yes, yes, here you go being all reasonable again. Sigh.I can understand why they went in the direction they did, considering how relevant it is today with technology that can control everything in our house. “Alexa, turn the lights off,” etc.
I’m not saying it’s better than the OG material whatsoever, but I can see why they thought this refresh would connect with today’s viewers.
For context, in this scene Andy and his friends are trying to teach him to make a scary face. It's legit funny.

How can Bride of Chucky be disrespectful when it was written by Don Mancini, the original creator. Don Mancini actually wrote and directed Seed, Curse and Cult of Chucky.
