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 the doll move for the 1st 45 minutes helps it build up and make the suspense work. The batteries scene is honestly one of my favorite horror movie scenes to this day. While I usually can't stand child actors I actually thought Alex Vincent did a great job, some line deliveries irked me but I can look past that since he gave a pretty good perfomance, the scene where he cried I seriously thought he looked like he really believed he was going to die. The animatronics still look amazing in my opinion, it's easy to notice when it's a stunt double in a suit running around though lol. Brad Dourif does magnificent voice work to completely bring the doll to life, he's amazingly threatening and entertaining.

I think this Child's Play film sticks out from the rest a bit because Chucky hasn't fully reached the level of smart ass one-liner spewing that he eventually reached in the sequels. Chucky tends to be a more serious character here when compared to the sequels which makes it worth watching if you've only seen the sequels. I haven't seen the last 2 movies in this series but I'd probably place this entry in my top 3 of the series. Even if you find the premise stupid I think it's worth one watch lol. It's a fun movie so at least turn off your brain and simply enjoy watching it.

Fun fact, the voice actor for Chucky's toy voice was the same voice actor of the Corky dolls from the 90s.

Was I the only one reminded of Halloween's opening with the Chucky POV scenes?
