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 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.… Expand

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
