SO THIS IS THE BEST CHUCKY NO COMMENT

Child's Play was originally conceived as a detective thriller believe it or not, but then it turned out that the idea of a killer doll was much better and would probably be more interesting if they focused on this evil doll. It's been twenty years now (really?) and Chucky's both a household name and a horror icon, Brad Dourif did a terrific job as the voice of Chucky and he also briefly plays the role of serial killer Charles Lee Ray during the opening sequence and shootout with the cops in the toy store. Child's Play was released back in 1988 and it became a huge hit not in cinemas but on video and the film was done very well, considering it's about a serial killer who uses voodoo magic to transfer his soul into a doll. The acting is way above average for a horror movie and the momentum builds nicely, the storyline was quite interesting to. The viewer is forced to wait quite awhile before they actually see Chucky kill anyone and when he does it becomes very suspenseful and creepy, he uses stealth and cunning to make up for the failings of his diminutive body. He reveals his true self only to young Andy (Alex Vincent) the boy who gets him as a birthday present, then he kills all his hapless victims without much trouble. After all who would suspect an innocent little doll could kill you when you're not looking? O.K. so the film wasn't exactly scary unless you're the type of person who has a phobia against dolls or something but what makes this stand out from the rest of the horror flicks that were released during that time was the killer itself, instead of being this masked and anonymous huge killer that hides in the shadows it's this small doll but the killer has more personality than any 80's horror villain that I can think of yes even more than Freddy Krueger. It was directed by Tom Holland who also did the brilliant Fright Night and he did a great job with this film even though the finale could have been better, I would say that it was more anti-climactic and slightly predictable with the way it was supposed to be setup, but other than that Child's Play was a great horror film. Overall, Child's Play is a movie that probably succeeded because it was in the right place at the right time. I haven't seen it in a while so for me it's almost like watching it for the very first time, it seemed like it hasn't aged that much and was quite good and entertaining and was obviously way better than those awful sequels. I would say that it was a good film to watch on Halloween so check it out and enjoy.
