Ah, Child�s Play. Really the best one to check out if you�re looking for a thrill. Remember, though. If you have small children or younger brothers and sisters, take my advice and DON�T watch this around them. For an adult this movie should be fine, but for a child it really is very horrifying. I can�t even begin to tell you how deathly afraid I was of Chucky back in the day. I still remember the nights I stayed up late crying to my father about how if I went to bed, my �My Buddy� doll would kill me. Really because it looked so similar to Chucky to me. (To find out more about THAT doll, please check out the �Buddy Doll� section.)
Anyway, yes. This movie is most certainly my favorite out of all five so far, (although Seed comes at close second.) The special effects in this flick are AMAZING for it�s time. The puppet work is really fantastic, not to mention the ever-wonderful voice work of the almighty Brad Dourif.
Katherine Hicks also did a great job playing Andy�s mother in her one and only Child�s Play movie appearance. And Alex Vincent really was a wonderful actor for a child of his age.
The only thing I didn�t like about this movie was the lack of Chucky appearances. Really, you do see him a good many times, but not quite enough for my taste. This movie was leaning towards the typical �everything revolves around the victims� horror case. Although you do see a bit of Chucky�s personality, you don�t really get to see his witty, arrogant side, which are some of the things I love him for. Don�t get me wrong, I love this movie to death. I just wish Don had the idea of letting Chucky run free at this point in time. The result would�ve been interesting.
Anyway, if you�re a Chucky fan, you know how class this movie is already! If yer not, get the hell off my page!
Four out of Four Stars for this, bitch!
