Brad Dourif's voice is so amazing when he is pissed off. Such a joy to watch! Anyway, Child's Play holds up very well and is still entertaining, we aren't at the one-liner Chucky yet, but hey! Serious Chucky is great too! The plot is a bit predictable but that doesn't matter, the special effects are great, the acting is okay and we have a murdering doll! CHUCKY! Child's Play does belong in the must watch Horror films I believe because Chucky is like Freddy, Jason, Leather and Michael. People might not have seen the film, but they recognize him! So yeah, I always enjoy watching Child's Play and maybe it is time to watch the rest of the franchise, I have seen 4 of them I think some 15 years ago, but that is so long ago, I can't really remember. So yeah! GOOOO CHUCKY! In the end though, I just think Chucky really wanted a hug!

That's a brilliant horror movie of 90's.Script was special and Tom Holland knew very well how to make this movie..Full of suspence and some creepy parts with powerfull ending scene. 7.5/10!

I thought this movie would be cheesier than it actually is. For a movie starring an animate murderous doll, it certainly does thrill. It's another fun slasher film, even with the silly premise and plot full of holes. Turn off your brain and have a good time.

This was a lot better than what I thought it was going to be. I thought it was going to be super cheesy and not scary but it actually is a decent slasher. Chucky is kinda terrifying, especially at the end.

My review: https://youtu.be/6BzHFoA9-Sc

“Child’s Play” (1988), directed by Tom Holland, is a classic horror film that introduced one of the most iconic and sinister dolls in cinema history: Chucky. With its unique blend of horror and dark humor, the film delivers a chilling and entertaining More

>*"Hi, i'm Chucky, and i'm your friend to the end. Hidey-ho... Wanna play?"*

The first entry to my favorite horror franchise of all time! It just checks all the boxes for me: iconic cool-looking and layered villain, hilarious one-liners, the kills are always imaginative, the practical effects More

Child's Play lol I'm not even sure where to start with this one. Despite the fact that I love this film I will never get over the fact that a film about a small serial killer doll is actually good, I mean come on let's be honest it's a ridiculous premise. The fact that we never see t More

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 More
