So the original Child's Play is one of my favorite slashers, it had a decent sequel and a fun but not very good threquel. The series then became dark comedies with Bride and Seed of Chucky. Two straight to video chapters tried to bring the horror elements back, and it works, Cult of Chucky might be my second favorite in that canon....because now we have a new canon with the remake of Child's Play. Before everyone gets all Off My Lawn over remakes, fuck off, not all remakes are bad, most are actually pretty good. You want to original series? We'll be getting more, that franchise will continue straight to video and with a TV show, hell when i saw the trailer for the remake i wished the franchise propper was the only one. Folks are pissed that it is AI instead of a doll possessed by a killer, when if it was a shot for shot remake people would be more pissed, self entitled fans with their desire to remake Game of Thrones and Last Jedi *rolls eyes*. The AI worked well here, little Small Soldiers esque. Treehouse of Horror did a Child's Play segment with Krusty with a doll with a switch changed to evil....yet again the Simpsons predicted the future. It has great nods to the original with the lightning in the sky, it has an older Andy and not quite as annoying as the original(that kid was a twerp), and it is bloody as fuck. The third act is non stop, and the climax is full of money shots of blood, it is glorious, pure carnage all hell breaking loose. I honestly wasn't expecting it from the film. If you are a fan of the series, slashers or horror in general, check it out, don't write it off as just a remake. This is a fun flick, and if you hate, oh well, go watch the original.
