Horror Extreme Movie Catalog

Child's Play 2 is very different from the first film. It introduces us to comedic Chucky, why is it that every good horror villian has to be a comedian ? The film does have good effects and one-liners though. Check it out if you want a good laugh.

Film Name: Child's Play 2
Year Made: 1990

Overview: Young Andy Barclay now lives in a foster home after the horror he experienced from his good guy doll, Chucky. As time has passed, the toy company that once made the good guy doll line is back up and in business. What that also means is Chucky's back and ready to play a new game that he likes to call "hide the soul"

The Package: 3 Stars

The cover is really cool with Chucky, as well as some cool graphics on the disc itself. There is a insert included when you open up the case that includes chapter scene names and a few pictures from the movie. As far as bonus features, the trailer is included along with some bio and production notes but it's pretty basic. This film is in widescreen which is great, but sadly, no closed caption on this one. The disc is held in place very secure and not to hard to pop out, although I found this case a bit harder to pop the disc out compared to the push button kind where you push in the center and the disk pops up, those are the best.

Spook Meter: 3 Stars

Child's Play 2 is not very scary, but it does have some spooky parts here and there. Chucky talks quite a bit throughout this film and has a lot of really funny one line sayings that any fan of the Chuck is going to love. What you get here is some spooky scenes mixed with a lot of funny things that Chucky says that will make you laugh at the same time. The overall result is a smile on your face and a horror film that is not overly intense/scary but is very enjoyable to watch. I must note that normally I don't like to mix much humer with horror films, but in this film as well as the other Child's Play films, it really works well.

Gore/Violence Meter: 3 Stars

Horror fans who love tons of blood will find this to be pretty mild as far as blood level is concerned. I will say there are some really cool death scenes though that left me feeling like Chucky made sure to get some great kills and I walked away at the end feeling happy.

Profanity Meter: 4 Strikes

There is a lot of profanity in this film, be warned.

Sexual Meter: 1 Strikes

There is no nudity, no in bed scenes, no make out scenes, no nothing! Anyone offended by sexual themes, have nothing to worry about while watching this.

Final Thoughts:

Chucky is a lot of fun to watch and so I give this 5 stars overall. His laugh is simply the best and every time he laughs, I find myself laughing right along with him with a huge smile on my face. I'll agree with some reviewers that the Child's Play films get less scary as they progress but they sure are a lot of fun to watch. To me, less scary does not mean a less enjoyable horror film in all cases and this is one of those cases. I really enjoyed this and hope you do too.

Thank you for reading my review!
