What the critics say
Based on 19 reviews, Child's Play gets an average review score of 56
I thought I was sick of the possessed ginger doll named Chucky who appeared in seven films from 1988 to 2017, but the fantastic new movie “Child’s Play” ingeniously reinvents the little nuisance. Gone is the silly voodoo curse that transported a criminal’s soul into a toy in the original. Now, Chucky is a technological smart-doll sold by an Apple-like company.

The knife-wielding Chucky doll is updated for the digital era in a horror reboot that shrewdly skewers western consumerism
2131d ago
A murderous plaything might be one of the stranger premises Hollywood has been able to franchise, and yet the “Child’s Play” movies have gathered a substantial following down to the 2017 direct-to-video movie, “Cult of Chucky.”

Chucky may be wi-fi enabled in the new Child’s Play, but it’s hardly an upgrade

Child's Play remake dilutes Chucky's evil with more laughs than scares
2131d ago
The film thus proves a mixed bag–heavy exposition marked by brief moments of carnage before Chucky is allowed to wreak havoc with impunity and dial things up to where I would have liked him to start.
2131d ago
This is a brutally violent reset on the '80s franchise that ultimately became a punchline, but while it goes big on gore and atmosphere, Child's Play doesn't muster up any actual scares.
2131d ago
The final act is the highlight of this decent but not quite sharp enough slasher remake.
2131d ago
Chucky (now voiced by Mark Hamill) is more interesting as a sociopath-in-training than as the third-act slasher he becomes
2131d ago
Chucky's AI reboot is an old-school horror treat
2131d ago
The shoddiness of “Child’s Play (2019)” gives the film a somewhat fan made demeanor. While the reboot possesses a campy charm that advanced ironists are bound to find entertaining, an eerily effective score from Bear McCreary and a scene-stealing performance by Brian Tyree Henry, none of this is remotely enough to make up for a sheer lack of imagination.
2131d ago
By the end, it becomes what it initially parodies: a dime-a-dozen slasher film with a silly-looking doll as the villain.
2131d ago
Your enjoyment of Child's Play will depend on if "Chucky 2.0" is funny enough for your horror comedy tastes, because without investment in Kaslan's "Buddi," there's not much to appreciate beyond a few gnarly slasher deaths.
2131d ago
Making a killer-doll movie out of decent component parts should have been child’s play, but this misses the mark.
2131d ago
This good-bad ’80s horror-movie reboot from the producers of 'It' sends mixed messages, blending kid-targeted storytelling tropes with hard-R violence inappropriate for young viewers.
2131d ago
Mark Hamill is the new villainous voice of Chucky, the next-gen killer doll who’s handy with a knife
2131d ago
Mark Hamill provides the voice of the killer doll in this slick but frivolous remake of the 1988 horror hit, also starring Aubrey Plaza and Brian Tyree Henry.
2131d ago
Where does this Child's Play end up in the roster of remakes nobody asked for? While not as obnoxiously and needlessly revisionist as last year's vile Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich, it'll kill an hour and a few brain cells for anyone that doesn't know the original, and irritate fans of Mancini's chilling original. For them, this Chucky can go straight on the same recycling pile as that knock-off RoboCop we all agreed never to talk about again.
2131d ago
This slasher retread adds a cautionary tale about artificial intelligence, but its plausibility makes the character less scary.
