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.

Such a damn good thriller, that still holds up all these years later. Even with its hokey premise.

Tom Holland [Fatal Beauty, Fright Night] directs a particular horror movie which is very funny.
I loved Chucky's characterization, He's one of the best fanta-killers of the 80s.
But I have a presentiment that the sequels are better than this one.

I don't care what anyone says, I'd punt that little shit into oblivion.

It's the classic doll horror movie. I've seen it years ago but can't remember it. It's a little dated now. It takes a long time to see chucky moving but it looks really good when it happens. Even for a doll movie it's very dumb. The voodoo is pretty stupid. I wanted to really like it but it was OK.

Some people complain that it takes 45 minutes to see Chucky come alive but I like the build up to it. It's the Jaws/Alien approach. It's what makes this one different from the sequels.

One would expect this to just be a creepy serial killing doll movie, but its much more than that. The plot set up was a bit rushed, so much to a point where one could miss the main plot point, but after the initial set up the movie is pretty well done for its age and entertaining. Its not so much horror/terrifying as it is thrilling as most of the movie was about running from Chucky and convincing of others that he was real. Then it was about how to kill him. The movie was more graphic and violent then one would think, but the filming of the horrific scenes were greatly filmed with great camera work.

To be as dated as this is, it's still a fun watch. Granted, some of the special effects are pretty weak, the acting is sub-par, and the plot has holes big enough to drive a truck through, but for just good ol' fashioned outlandish-but-still-kind-of-creepy fun, this is still worth watching, IMO.

Still pretty good compared to the show...

Started watching "must watch" horror movies with my 14 year old son to get him involved with the genre, and this was the first movie we watched together. Definitely a classic that still holds up - with all it's cheesiness and gore.

This is a film that (almost) every horror fan has seen at least once. A lot of people love this film and I get why they enjoy it so much. I wouldn't say this is one of my favorite horror films, since I didn't like it when I first saw this film. Upon re-watch I started to like it more. Overall a good horror film and a true classic that every horror fan should see at least once.

Delivering terrifying thrills, Child's Play is an iconic '80s horror film that launched one of the major franchises of the horror genre. Unbeknownst to 6-year-old Andy Barclay, the Good Guy doll that he got for his birthday, "Chucky," has been imbued with the soul of a serial killer who's out for revenge. Starring Catherine Hicks, Chris Sarandon, and Brad Dourif, the cast is pretty decent (though their performances aren't anything special). What really sells the film is the animatronic work that's done to bring Chucky to life. By the end, the doll feels like a real character with deadly menace, and is a significant threat. Child's Play has some problems overcoming the corniness of its premise, but it ends up succeeding and offers some frightening chills.

Growing up, the concept of an evil doll, Chucky was known for scaring kids yet the irony is that this movie is qute boring to them.
