(1988) [Trailer]
Director: Tom Holland (IMDB)
While growing up everyone had that doll in the house that you thought to yourself "when it's dark in the room, this little bastard is scary as shit." Whether it was a Cabbage Patch Kid or a clown, you knew deep down, you hated that fucker. The beauty of Child's Play is that it tapped into those fears and exploited them.
Synopsis: A little boy's stuffed doll comes to life after it's possessed by a murderer.
This was one of my favorites as a youth and I was excited to finally pick it up on the baby blu. It still manages to hold up nicely in my opinion and is pretty effective as a horror film. Chucky is creepy and is perfect as the antagonist. I forgot the guy from Fright Night was in this... he's pretty cool. The little kid started to annoy me after awhile, but isn't that what all kids do? There's not much to knock, some little issues here and there, but honestly... this is a fun movie.
