Critic Reviews

Empire Kim Newman

No award winner, but at least it delivers the rubbishy goods. Read full review

Johanna Steinmetz

Jack Bender's direction, with the help of a driving score by Cory Lerios and John D'Andrea, manages to keep the level of suspense high even in the film's least convincing moments. [03 Sep 1991, p.5C]

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

Director Jack Bender films all this with enough style that Child's Play 3 never becomes overly boring or tedious, and there's some nicely timed tension and comic bits scattered throughout. Read full review

Caryn James

Child's Play 3, directed by Jack Bender, misses the sharpness and dark humor that the director and co-writer Tom Holland brought to the original. Read full review

Marc Savlov

Director Bender has fashioned a film without any surprises, though after the first two films, anyone would be hard-pressed to make audience members jump. Read full review

Richard Harrington

Child's Play 3 is further proof of the principle of diminishing sequels: The original was actually quite good, the follow-up was lame and now what is hopefully the capper is DOA. Read full review

Owen Gleiberman

Chucky the plastic slasher proves that his novelty value has long worn off. Read full review

This movie slapped, is this worst in the trilogy? Yes. But does it mean its bad? No, heavily underrated imo. The story itself has a few flaws obviously, and does show it was rushed, but the vibe of the film is something different to me the others couldn't do, love the OST, Chucky, Andy inThis movie slapped, is this worst in the trilogy? Yes. But does it mean its bad? No, heavily underrated imo. The story itself has a few flaws obviously, and does show it was rushed, but the vibe of the film is something different to me the others couldn't do, love the OST, Chucky, Andy in this one as well, And the other characters. Climax slapped. Chucky's death is THE BEST still in the franchise. Solid 9.2/10.… Expand

Chucky’s Starting To Catch Sequelitis
Child’s Play 3 has good performances and Chucky is once again a joy to watch, But the story is so bland.

Most of the kills are unimpressive, the story is just the first 2 films, only now it's mostly in a boring military school, the characters are stereotypes, and I just wish that there was something new introduced.
I think this film should've taken place in the carnival for most of the filmMost of the kills are unimpressive, the story is just the first 2 films, only now it's mostly in a boring military school, the characters are stereotypes, and I just wish that there was something new introduced.
I think this film should've taken place in the carnival for most of the film instead of the school.

Edit: after rewatching it, I feel like the third act carnival was added in to make the film more interesting. JESUS, this movie is boring af.
Sorry mindless fanboys who disliked my opinion.… Expand

Chucky is getting funnier but definitely stupider, why he is only obsessed with transferring his spirit into a child is silly, especially an Andy adjacent kid since Andy is the only one who really knows about him.

The military setting is average at best, but it is abandoned completelyChucky is getting funnier but definitely stupider, why he is only obsessed with transferring his spirit into a child is silly, especially an Andy adjacent kid since Andy is the only one who really knows about him.

The military setting is average at best, but it is abandoned completely though by the end for a horror carnival ride setting because ???… Expand
