This movie freaked me out as a kid too but viewing it again so many years later i realize the movie is pretty tedious, like think about it a doll goes around killing people and no one can do anything about it. You just want to tell this fucking morons "Hey its a fucking doll, your bigger than he is so just fucking kick him stomp him or you could just lock him in a cage and keep him as a pet" Besides that it is a classic
I'm going to have to agree with the majority on this one. The original Child's Play freaked the hell out of me when I was a child. But I absobultley loved that feeling. Even now [watchint it right now], it scares me, and not only because I remember the fright as a child, but as an actually well made horror movie.
The scene where she picks up the doll box and the batteries drop out is one of the scariest! I was quaking in my doc's. :D
Though the series DEFINATLEY does not stay true to this masterpieces, I still enjoy them for other reasons.
This movie is much darker, a serious horror movie, while the others are kind of playing up the campyness, and the humor [especially bride], I still like them, but in a different context.
wow, if my son/daughter said their dolls scare them at night, they obviously haven't seen this film.
i can see how Chucky became a famous killer doll. if a doll tells you that you can be their friend to the end, the end is pretty much closer than you think.

I think this was by far the best killer doll movie ever made. The only doll that can hold a candle to this classic is the Jigsaw doll but he doesn't chase people around. Chucky was great!
Ha! The birth of Chucky, this movie introduced another iconic horror villan . Brad Dourif is THE SHIT as Chucky, there is no one else on this earth that could be Chuck. A classic that will live on forever. Hopefully the remake is good, at least they're keeping Brad as Chucky, which is a step in the right direction.

Child's Play is amazing. There, I said it. It's something you've heard before, and you'll hear it again from me. Child's Play is amazing! This classic slasher flick is what started it all. Chucky, the fearless living doll, with a dark humourous side, is possessed and basically, goes on a killing rampage. A pretty simple story, too basic though, but fans of the series will know that this simple storyline will eventually become a big part of the plot. Chuckey isn't the average looking doll either, the film makers obviously wanted him to look menacing, and I have to say they did a great job. Aside from the slightly dissapointing plot, the overall movie is grand. The acting is wonderful, and the voice of Chucky is menacing, and superb. The set pieces, the wonderful dark humour, the gory deaths and the overall feel of this movie is perfect, and that's what makes it a solid horror, even now.
Overall, a wonderful horror, that you and your friends will enjoy on a dark night, with a bowl of popcorn. A humourous, horror fest.
I remember having issues walking into movie stores and and being horrified to even see the vhs case of this movie. i watched it once, when i was like 5( well watching everyone horror movie on the planet.)
and couldn't watch it until is was in my teens. Chucky honestly scared my childhood.
After watching it after getting over my fear And watching the films I didn't find them scary at all but, at the end of the day, I will always remember it for making my stomach hurt every time I walked into the horror section new movie store, and preying they didn't have a copy of Childs play. So I didn't have to see chucky.
This movie redefined horror when it was first released. i thought this movie to be extremely creepy. Chucky is absolutely magnificent.
He is ruthless!
He is brutal!
and He is pretty funny.
Childs Play is extremely terryfying and you definetly need to check this movie out by any means neccesary.
I remember watching watching this as a kid.
Child's Play is the movie that took me the most time to recover. By MY slasher standards, he beats Freddy, Jason, and even Michael. Maybe because I watched this as a kid. I may have to watch this again to be sure.
I'm almost 18 and he still freaks me out.
I'm proud to say that i am terrified of the pervert freak they call, CHUCKIE.
The film that introduced us to Chucky & easily the best in the series. Top notch writing, casting & fx. Possible the best "Killer doll" movie there is.
This movie freaked me out when I was a little kid. I mean FREAKED ME OUT. idk if anyone else had a "my buddy" doll when they were younger, but yeah... haunting. it's still a classic, and still really fun and cool.
another supposed classic that i thought classicly sucked ass...chucky is not scary people,and these movies are not even good corny, they are just corny.
This movie scarred the hell out of me when I was younger. This is a must have DVD I have bouth a regular edition and the aniversey special audition it is a awesome movie. This movie was so solid when does the remake / relaunch officially come out.
A very effective and chilling movie. Unlike the sequels Chucky stayed in the background and this movie was more of a crime thriller and concentrated more on the story of Andy and his trying to convince everyone that his doll was alive. By not showing as much Chucky it made the story more believable and when the film makers showed scenes of Chucky actually being alive it put you on the edge of your seat. The scene when Chucky is first shown alive when Alex's mother is about to throw him in the fire made me jump on first viewing all those years ago. A great cast including 'Jerry Dandridge' himself, Chris Sarandon, Catherine O Hara as Alex's mother, Dina Minahoff and of course Brad Douriff make this film very enjoyable and the use of black comedy mixed with thrills make one to watch over and over .

I don't know why everyone loves this movie so much, doll gets possesed starts killing people. To me that is a shit storyline, the humor in it wasn't even that good. The deaths were lame and the doll didn't look scary at all. It looked like something of playschool for christ's sake. The ending was shit and wasn't memorable in any way and the amount of sequels they did after this movie..................WTF!?!?!?! I mean it was just bareley good the first time. The acting wasn't too bad, the voice for chucky was a good choice. Overall this movie was just bareley good the first time and my worst fear would be having to sit through it again. My friend loves the franchise and I went over to his house to have a child's play marathon and the first movie was alright but after that it got worse and worse and as for "the seed of chucky".................What were they thinking???? I give this movie a 3/10 and in my opinion it dosen't deserve anything more.
I am a big fan of the Child's Play movies, especially Child's Play 2. However rewatching this movie, I can't help but feel it is really dated. I am very much looking foward to a remake of this movie because I think the story is very good but the special effects, although at the time may have been great, are very dated now in 2008.

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.
