Child's Play (Chucky's 20th Birthday Edition) Specifications
Horror maestro Tom Holland (
Fright Night) brought wit and devilish energy to this 1988 scarefest about a murderer (Brad Dourif) who wills his soul into an innocuous doll named Chucky, and reveals himself only to the toy's owner, a frightened little boy. Catherine Hicks plays the child's mother, and Chris Sarandon a detective; neither of them knows what to make of the kid's story. Monster-doll stories are always wonderfully surreal, and
Child's Play is no exception. Holland oversees some finely tuned special effects that allow Chucky to express himself and do some damage--it is truly unnerving but somehow good, subversive fun.

Horror Movies Customer Reviews
Cathreen Hicks, Chris Sarandon, Alex Vincent, Brad Dourif, Dinah Manoff. A pretty good horror movie with lots of thrills and special effects. The plot is a serial killer in Chicago (Dourif), who was shot down in a toy shop by a detective (Sarandon) and right before he died he uses black magic to transfer his soul into a doll in a shop. A boy (Vincent) gets the same doll for his birthday and after his baby-sitter (Manoff) is killed, everyone thinks he did. And oncethere is another murder, the boy is put away for a while '. But the boy's mother (Hicks) do not buy it and make the terrifying discovery that the doll is alive, after all, and its objective is to take revenge on the detective who killed him and transfer his soul into the body of the boy. I'm really glad this movie did not go straight for shock value of blood and gore is very similar to The Thing (1982) and The Fly (1986) so this does not have a lot of blood until the final scene. And another thing that this film is good for youto put the doll alive in modern pop culture and the same doll, Chucky, it's so fun to watch and it's still a horror icon from memorable. But other than Chucky, the human characters were quite believable, even little Alex Vicent. And I also like how it is not a story living doll was the doll has a mind of it's own and no background of how the doll came to life, this time the story is more focused on the doll, which is a nice change. The special effects are quite the dollwell, they try their best to make the doll seems to live and work. This item, by Brad Dourif is pretty well done. Overall, there is a good film, chilling, and not just blood.
I give it **** of ***** stars

Cheesy horror at its best! - Shawna Jennings - PHOENIX, ARIZONA, US
When I first saw this film at the tender age of 5! I liked it then and still haunted doll scary but cool voice wickedly awesome and unique tools for murder. I know it sounds a bit 'morbid, but for the courage and true fan of blood, even if it is from 1980, you can not go wrong with a good movie Chucky.
Child's Play - Jose Lopez - Miami,Florida USA
Compared to the sequel later and at the time of writing a "reboot" of the original to make it again Fear, this film won 3 in half to 4 stars. E 'was scary as a kid, but has lost some of its luster over time. I would not go away and call it a classic, but not a film that should be overlooked.
Scurry Dollies - Brian Harris - United States
We have been here and we did this, Child's Play is a minor classic horror and then there's really nothing more to add to this, but to say that, in my opinion, time has taken care Child's Play fans too well and was fully dishonest with themselves about its importance. While I certainly enjoy the movie for what it is "just right", is anything but a masterpiece of terror. Chucky looks fantastic, he is the icon of a genre and respect that I can, but if a film like this were to be released today its faultscould not be ignored, bad cold or not. This does not mean that it should be judged by today's standards, only that a film with this type of plot is barely visible and so-so the dialogue would have received much less.
Child's Play is at the center of it all fun and this is the bottom line. I'm not entirely convinced Chucky deserves canonization has received but there is no denying the charm of a foul-mouthed doll, armed with a knife!
It is likely that many of you already havethis so I'm sure that is the question on everyone's mind is: "Why should I buy this year?" and the answer is simple ... This edition has a buttload of special features. If you're a junkie special feature, this is a nice little 'press release full of fresh new featurette and audio commentary.
There's a new killer in town - S. Harris - Prattsburgh, New York
Child's Play takes on a different way of approaching what may be known as the `'slasher genre. Unlike others like Halloween, Friday the 13th or Nightmare on Elm Street, where it is what it looks like a normal person to kill people throughout the film. Child's Play is a different approach, something that no other movie made in my opinion. While the killer Charles Lee Ray, aka 'The Lakeshore Strangler' is killed early in the film, but do not stopthe transfer of its 'soul' in a body of a doll, even a doll. The doll ends at the end in the hands of a 6 year old boy named Andy Barcley, and that's when the fun starts there. The doll is now known as 'Chucky' trying to find a way to become human again and try everything to enter the body of Andy, and he'll go through great lengths to make this happen. With the effects used in this film, it's amazing what they were able to pull this movie and make it scary to an extent.Overall I give this movie 3.5 out of 5 stars.
