During last years 31 Days Of Halloween, I presented the very first Child’s Play as one of the films and I even went into detail about how it looked like a My buddy and me doll. Well, now I won’t have to go through that talk again, but the killer doll is back. Thew film is directed by the series longtime writer Don Mancini and it’s stars Fiona Dourif (The Messenger) as Nica, a woman confined to a wheel chair that found her mother dead after receiving the doll in the mail. She doesn’t suspect anything until her visiting niece Alice (Summer H. Howell) starts to play with the doll and weird things start happening to her visiting family. The movie also stars Danielle Bisutti (Insidious Chapter 2) as Barb, Maitland McConnell (Killer Movie) as Jill, Brennan Elliott (Flight 93) as Ian, A Martinez (General Hospital) as a priest, and Brad Dourif as Charles Lee Ray and the voice of Chucky.
I was a little excited when I heard they had made another one and in my opinion they were delivering until we get to the end. Overall, I have to say that it wasn’t that bad, I didn’t like the way Chucky looked and I thought they had abandoned all the films in the series until later in the film when his stitches are revealed. So, after revealing the real Chucky, I wondered where they were going to take it or how they would handle the past. I actually didn’t enjoy the back story because I thought it was a little cheesy. I won’t tell you what it is because I want you to be the judge of that. I will say that I didn’t see the ending coming although I knew who Chucky’s first three victims were going to be because it was obvious. There’s a surprise visit from Chucky’s past in the film and from what the ending revealed, their could be another Chucky film in the distant future. I am going to give the film a B because it was enjoyable, but it also gets that grade because of the back story.
