Summary: This is the end.. friend.
Review: 3 stars and a half is a fair rating for this hokey horror film. It's lack of explaination for the demonic doll's motives and existence raise questions, but getting into all that might have placed lag times on the fun factor. That's what this film wants to be and it is.. FUN. I mean there is some mumbo jumbo in the beginning about how Chucky comes about but it's silliness. The fun and horror begin when Chucky attacks right before he's threatened by a 6 year old boy's mother who is trying to convince everyone that her son is not crazy. Well they soon find out he's not. It starts off, mom doesn't believe 6 year old son, then detective doesn't believe mom, followed by no one believes anything until they see it. "Child's Play" spawned numorous clones and sequels but this one is the BEST.

Summary: Killer Doll on the Rampage!
Review: I have to admit that Child's Play was a movie that I didn't think I would like and that is one of the reasons I never went to see it when it was in the movie theaters but one night the movie was on TV and I wound up watching it and to my surprise I actually wound up liking it. The movie has it's creepy moments but it also has witty dialogue and I thought Catherine Hicks (Star Trek V), Christopher Sarandon (The Princess Bride) and the boy who played Andy were good and I think this would be a great movie to watch anytime but especially on Halloween. I want to own Child's Play on DVD but it's only pan and scan and I'm waiting for a special widescreen edition DVD to come out.

Summary: Laughable at least
Review: Child's Play is the kinda movie one would think up in a nightmare: an evil doll who runs around with a knife stabbing people. I know this film tried to be scarey and tried to give a reasonable explanation for why a doll is going around stabbing folks, but it didn't work.OK, Chucky is a doll possessed by some evil guy's soul thanks to some voodoo dude. Already this is laughable. So this doll, for no real reason, goes on this rampage of stabbing anybody it wants and laughing as he does it. I mean, nothing is scarey about this. One minute a woman is walking around in the house, the next thing you know there's this red-headed doll, in overalls, screaming and stabbing her. Then after it does its butchering it scurries away laughing like a A-typical villain. Please, if I took my teddy bear, installed fake dracula fangs in its mouth and gave it a cattle prod as a weapon, my form of "child's play" would be much more scary. Not to mention the way this doll talks is funny. It cusses, it makes these stupid grunts, and these "one liners" that does little to entertain you. It would be far more entertaining if Chucky accidentally drowned himself in the washer or finds himself getting molested and torn to shreds by the family's super horny pet. And this is yet another monster movie where the monster won't die at the end. That's right, you kill it, but it comes back. You kill it again, think it's dead, but suddenly attacks you again around the corner. Kill it again, think it's dead this time, but comes after you again. Then when it dies, you think to yourself "why am I watching this movie?" I'm sorry, nothing proves to be a bad movie than a monster that has to die a million different ways before the film can end. I would rather have seen someone just flush Chucky down the toilet than have this stupid head lying on the carpet saying "get them, get them!" How utterly stupid. I don't suggest you watch this movie. But if you get your kicks by watching corny horror movies that are meant to make you scared but end up making you get belly aches from laughing, then be my guest. Otherwise, find a quality movie. Grade: D-

Summary: GOOD MOVIE, BAD DVD
Review: I love childs play but the format for this dvd version is horrible. IT is in standard instead of widescreen. This normally is not a problem but the PAN AND SCAN transfer is horrible. It goes downhill throughout the movie. Scenes are blurry and badly pixelated. You can only see half of the credits at the end because the screen chops them off. The finale of the movie is bad because you can't see chucky! HE is cut out! Wait for a special widescreen edition or a better film transfer.

Summary: An oddly charming movie...
Review: To many horror fans, there are the "big three" of the slasher genre - Freddy, Jason and Michael. But I think Chucky should fall in there someplace, ranking in at a respectable fourth. True, everyone says that if they ever saw a little doll chasing them with a knife, they'd pick it up by the legs and roof it, but if you saw "Child's Play" as a kid, the odds are it freaked you out tremendously. What kid didn't have nightmarish fantasies about their toys coming to life when they weren't looking? Or worse yet, when they WERE looking. Yikes. You may as well call this movie a classic since everyone has at least once in their life tried to win a Chucky doll at a carnival. He's an endearing character albeit mean-spirited and murderous. Plus, it's quite a kick to hear an innocent looking Good Guy doll say the F word a few times. The DVD may be full screen, but oh well. Chucky without widescreen is better than no Chucky at all, right? It's a classic 80's film at a pretty good price. Pick it up.

Summary: dolls can be scary
Review: I collect dolls and maybe this is way I find a movie about a murdered who gets into a dolls body so he can continue his killing spree scary. The movie does a good job of letting us be surprised by the first attacks though after that I kept thinking, "just climb up two feet and he can't get you". Not a movie for any child to watch at any time!

Summary: One of the most enduring horror classics
Review: Child's Play is one of the most enduring horror classics which still continues to terrify people everywhere today. Although low-budget, Holland has managed to create a seamingly-plausible plot that never loses its touch, and never comes short of sending chills up your spine. Although it seems the adult actors weren't too interested in the film, check out young Andy's performance as the terrified youngster whose dream became a nightmare. Listen for Chucky's remark after an older woman comments on his appearance in the elevator towards the end, and Andy's final(we hope) farewell to Chucky in the fireplace. This is a horror classic which anyone can watch more than once. Makes me want to go to Kay-Bee Toys (yeah right!).

Summary: Chucky's first rampage
Review: In the south side of Chicago, a detective, Mike Norris (Chris Sarandon), chases a serial killer, Charles Lee Ray (Brad Dourif), dubbed "The Lakeshore Strangler". Ray's accomplice, Eddie Caputo, ditches him to save his own hide. Ray and Norris shoot it out in a toy store. Ray is injuried and threatends to get revenge. He then transfers his soul into a popular toy, A Good Guy.
Andy Barclay (Alex Vincent)is celebrating his sixth birthday and his widowed mother, Karen (Catherine Hicks), is saddend at the fact she couldn't get him a Good Guy for his birthday.
Karen and her best friend, Maggie Peterson (Dinah Manoff)find a Good Guy doll in the alley in the back of the depatment store.
Karen brings the doll back home to her son. Maggie has to baby-sit Andy that night and immeadiatley, strange things begin to happen. Television sets turn on, strange noises, etc. Maggie is then struck with a Good Guy hammer in the eye and is forced out of the window.
Director Tom Holland (Fright Night) made a masterpiece of a film with this. It looks so real for it's time without all that corny clay-mation stuff of the 80's. Y'all know what I'm talking about. This is a truely compelling and scurry movie. I saw this movie when I was nine and it scurred me. The acting is terrific and well done. The movie becomes even more terrifying when Chucky wants to transfer his soul into young Andy's body. Holland did a very well job with a thriller about an innocent looking doll harboring the soul of a killer who wasn't ready to die.
The music is also great. The ending credits score was the best and mesmirizing music of the 'Child's Play' series.
The ending was great, too. With the door closing on the broken, burned remninents of Chucky.
