Reviews:


I’m a big fan of the _Chucky_ franchise. Throughout all of its ups and downs, Don Mancini and the gang have never failed to bring forward a watchable movie. Even the most recent entry, _Cult of Chucky_ (which was kind of a fuck-up) provided me great enjoyment as a series-long fan. But no subsequent movie has ever matched the original for me. That first _Child’s Play_ didn’t just birth a classic character, it is, in and of itself, a classic. The first time you see Chucky open his mouth and hear the words of the real Brad Douriff… I’ve seen it twenty times over, and I’m still floored every single one of them. Absolutely floored, and floored with a massive grin on my face to boot.

_Final rating:★★★½ – I really liked it. Would strongly recommend you give it your time._

Review By: Gimly

Young “Andy” (Alex Vincent) is obsessed with the “Good Guys” cartoons on the telly. Of course there is loads of accompanying merchandise, but his widowed mother “Karen” (Catherine Hicks) has to make ends meet so the newly released doll is just too expensive for the young lad’s birthday. Luckily for her, her pal “Maggie” (Dinah Manoff) finds a street pedlar who has one for a mere $30 and so she takes it home to the delight of the youngster. Unbeknown to everyone though, this rather ugly looking lump of plastic has been possessed by the demonic soul of “Charles Lee Ray” – a pretty brutal strangler who ended up being blown to bits in an explosion at a toy shop whilst being pursued by detective “Norris” (Chris Sarandon). When an unfortunate accident befalls poor old “Maggie”, the boy discovers the truth and tries to explain the malevolence of his new toy to the grown ups, but they are sceptical. Until, that is, the mum discovers that “Chucky” manages to function remarkably well – without his Duracells – and soon she and the police officer are on their own toy- hunt! Despite only being about a foot tall, this doll is remarkably effective with a knife as he seeks vengeance on all who have betrayed him, and to involve “Andy” in his plan to stop himself becoming mortal and vulnerable. It’s quite entertaining this, but not in the least scary. I found the young Vincent really got on my nerves after a few scenes and the story really doesn’t have much substance to it. The camerawork tries hard to introduce a sense of menace, but the late 1980s synthesised soundtrack put me constantly on the lookout for “Crockett” or “Tubbs”. It is short and the action, once we get going, comes thick and fast – but I found this all rather comedic and the ending, frankly, rather daft. Still, I can’t say I hated it. It is quite a fun watch.
Review By: CinemaSerf
A modern classic
When people nowadays think of Chucky, the living doll, they think of the foul mouthed psycho doll complete with body modifications and a punky bride in a movie filled with funny one liners and black humor. However, when Chucky came to life almost 20 years ago, he was a real thrill that redefined the horror genre of the late 80s and spawned a series of imitators (some better than others).

Director Tom Holland crafts this very original tale written by Don Mancini, where a dying sociopath (Brad Douriff) uses voodoo to transplant his soul to an inanimate toy. Catherine Hicks plays Karen Barclay, a single mother who gets the possessed toy for her little son Andy (Alex Vincent), not knowing what is hidden deep inside the doll.

Despite its apparent cheesiness, Holland truly creates a haunting atmosphere filled with suspense by following the trick Steven Spielberg used in “Jaws”. While we know from the very beginning that the toy is haunted, we never get a glimpse of what he can do and neither does the characters; only the young Andy knows the truth, but nobody believes him.

Unlike its current MTV-inspired incarnations, “Child’s Play” starts a bit slow, but suddenly it turns into a suspense-filled roller-coaster with enough thrills to keep you at the edge of the seat. Holland directions truly makes the difference between a cheap B-movie and the classy film this one has become.

Brad Dourif makes a superb job and this movie started his now-legendary career in the genre. Catherine Hicks is a very good lead character, surprisingly realistic, thanks in part to the very well-written dialog. Chris Sarandon completes the cast as the detective investigating the mysterious murders surrounding Chucky and Andy.

The movie moves at a very good pace, despite its slow start; it has that 80s feeling and it is surprisingly violent for its time (it was released when rules were turning a bit stricter). It has great special effects and a very creepy atmosphere inside it’s urban landscape.

While many reviewers consider a flaw the fact that Chucky’s possession is not a mystery, I believe that a lot of the suspense is in the fact that we know that, but the characters don’t. It is a very well constructed film in the end, and definitely better than its current sequels. 8/10
