The original Child's Play was no Citizen Kane but at least it made sense (as much as a horror movie about a murderous child's toy can) and had better writing. If you are going to see a movie this weekend Toy Story 4 is a better use of your hard earned money. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you want to waste your money go ahead. This is a complete insult to the real Child' s Play movie, this the new trend in Hollywood, destroy the classics. I really hope this director never get another Project. The history is bad, the actors need more experience and direction. Expand

A lazy, uninspired, "throw back" that sacrifices the spirit of the original. Feels like a second-rate, knock off, dollar store version of the original. Plaza is given nothing to do in a thankless role. The kills are poorly shot and edited.A lazy, uninspired, "throw back" that sacrifices the spirit of the original. Feels like a second-rate, knock off, dollar store version of the original. Plaza is given nothing to do in a thankless role. The kills are poorly shot and edited. There's not one bit of effective tension or scares, or anything in the way of laughs. It tries really hard to be dumb fun, but instead is just really dumb. Expand

Sadly, The movie is just utter trash. Chucky went from a doll possed with the spirit of a serial killer to a doll capable of connecting to various electronic devices that is modified to be violent by a programmer. It's by far the worst looking the Chucky doll in the franchise and it severely lacks the charm that makes previous films so watchable. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was never excited for this movie, but decided to give it a chance and watched it instead of Toy Story 4. I've made a big mistake.

I'm a fan of the original trilogy (don't like the funny Chucky sequels) and I thought this was gonna be at least a semi-serious horror film, but it's stupid. The reason Chucky goes haywire is stupid, Aubrey Plaza is Andy's mom which I thought was his sister and she's annoying. They add stupid MCU-style jokes by annoying characters I wish had died within the first 5 seconds of their introduction, but it never happens. The fat friend says a goddamn joke when Andy shows the skinned face of a victim on a watermelon. Why are so many movies adding stupid inappropriate jokes???

There are no likable characters and the deaths are just lame for an R-rated movie. This movie was just so uninteresting and I was bored throughout. I'd rather watch Seed of Chucky. And I didn't even like that one! SKIP THIS MOVIE.

Start with a schizophrenic script that does not know what it wants to be. Then add in some lackluster directing that results in bad performances, and sprinkle in numerous cliches and tropes.

Then add in some lackluster directing that results in bad performances, and sprinkle in numerous cliches and tropes. Even Hamil's excellent voice acting cannot save this, as he is confied to the role of a parrot, instead of villian. At the very least this should have creative death scenes to sell itself, but that apparently is too much to ask. Fans and non-fans alike should avoid this movie. Expand

That isn't horror, its a natural response for anyone listening to anything. If I'm listening to music blasting it and it makes a random base noise I'm going to jump some. Stop thinking this is what makes horror, its predictable and its retarded. The morons who upvote this crap are the same idiots calling five nights at freddy's horror. Expand

The First Child's Play was lot better then this , The Chucky doll looks awful and this my opinion , I prefer Brad Dourif as Chucky then Mark Hamill . The Old Chucky wasn't nice to Andy , He try to kill him bunch of times and try to get his soul , The New Chucky just loves him and will kill anyone but Andy . That isn't Chucky . Expand

"All there is now is reboots and no one releases original films anymore!" But that's no true because each year there are hundreds of original films that release and a good chunk of them are horror. The issue is people don't seek them out or"All there is now is reboots and no one releases original films anymore!" But that's no true because each year there are hundreds of original films that release and a good chunk of them are horror. The issue is people don't seek them out or they get bootleg copies depriving the creators of their earnings and a majority of these filmmakers aren't rich and depend on those earnings to make a name for themselves and by proxy make more. Anyway I'm off topic but seek these films out and you'll **** about reboots a lot less!

Now onto Child's Play. I loved it and honestly it had the perfect balance of humor and horror. I've been watching horror since I snuck the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre my parents rented and watched it at five. So I've been watching these films for decades and at eight the OG Child's Play didn't scare me at all. I thought it was cool but it didn't scare me. Now this reboot didn't terrify me but it did creep me out and we enjoyed it very much! I like the new take and to me it's more frightening that it's all tech based in that it can get into anything connected to the network as opposed to the voodoo route. Mark Hammil killed it as Chucky and imo is right up there with Brad Dourif as the voice of Chucky.

Also Don Mancini is continuing his original CP universe so it's a win win because Curse of Chucky was amazing and my favorite of the original films. Anyway if you're a fan give this a go. Go in with an open mind and I promise you'll like it because I had low expectations going in and was pleasantly surprised!
