Child's Play is an effectively creepy movie with some genuine scares, good kills and dark humor. The scene where Andy's mom (played by Catherine Hicks) realizes there are no batteries in the doll is one of the best. I really enjoyed this movie and highly recommend it to anyone who thinks dolls and clowns are creepy. Enjoy!
Child's play one of the best movies of all time and has dark humor, scares, and a few gruesome kills. In case you didn't know Child's play is about a kid who turns 6 on his birthday and he wants the Good toy doll. So his mother buys it from a hobo and gives it to her son as a present. Although they don't know it came alive. I thought the film was fantastic. Once Andy finally gets the doll Chucky the scares begin. In the first act you don't see Chucky but you do see someone walking down the stairs. Then Andy tells his mother that Chucky did all of this but his mother doesn't believe him. She finally knows that the doll is alive and no one believes her. So she goes everywhere just to get help. Besides the scares there is also dark humor. Like in the movie a lady says "What an ugly doll" and the doll replies "screw you". I think that Child's play is creepy, scary, and very funny.
The reason why I have to give this movie a perfect score is because... well.... it literally scarred my childhood. I was around 6 years old when this film first came out and simply seeing the commercials on TV made me fear for my life that Chucky was always waiting around dark corners, ready to stab my face off. And after I actually watched the film(or tried to I should say) simply made my fears even worse. No movie, or character I should say, has given me that amount of terror and since the whole point of horror movies is to scare you, I can give this no less than 5 perfect skulls.
What's the worst part about enjoying Chucky movies?
telling your parents your gay....
oh and that you have horrible horrible taste.
2/10

The first film in the Child's Play series is by far the scariest and has the darkest tone. As a stand-alone horror film, it's pretty creepy and uses the premise of a killer doll to good effect. This one just barely fits with the rest of the series, which really gets going with the first sequel.
Chucky has always been my favorite of the slasher "heroes" (just barely edging out Freddy) mostly due to Brad Dourif's outstanding voice performance. He really elevates a character that should by all rights be nothing but camp. I also got to follow this series from the beginning, whereas others like Nightmare On Elm Street and Friday the 13th were already well-established by the time I was old enough to discover them.
when i first watched this i thought it would be more terrifying. I think Chucky shoukd have been way scarier and the movie could ave been way better. well lets see what the remake can do.
