Child's Play
If you’re going to watch this movie then go into expecting a dark comedy and not a horror film. It’s more wacky than scary.

Child's Play
I would like to start this off by saying, the iconic horror film that starred a killer doll as the main antagonist is not what I thought would be the best horror I've seen of the 80-90s classics. Child's Play was honestly really good. The characters were well played (don't see that often with the older horrors) and the story moved in a way that captured my interest. I thought it would just be comedic the whole time, but there were actually a few creepy scenes with Chucky running around.
Every time Chucky was shot and thrown into a wall with full force, I was clutching my sides as I doubled over with laughter. Mike annoyed me a lot of the time. I understand not believing someone that says a doll is alive without seeing proof yourself, but why accelerate when being choked out? And then remaining in the car as the doll runs around to try and kill you. And then, in the end, he was useless for a good portion of the scene. It made you wonder if he was even a detective? Sarandon is cute, though♡.
Alex Vincent is an amazing actor. At just 6 years old., he outacted most of the 18-30 years old I've seen in the other classics. I felt so sad for him and when he was being terrorized, and on his birthday! He reminds me so much of my younger brother when he was that age that I took his fright and sadness more personal which made me feel more connected to the movie.
I don't know how they'll bring back Chucky since he was *shot in the heart* and burned and torn limb by limb, but we'll see with the second movie!
