Look. I wont call this horror. Its not that scary just to let people know unless you think dolls will come to life. I found it actully pretty funny. It also doesnt really deserve the R rating. Anyways if you want a cult film,Then Childs play should do you well.

This one falls under a different sort of horror then the latter films. In the end it's a bit harder for me to think that a doll is going to overpower a man, but they keep a proper creepy atmosphere that can't happen in later films since he is...

This one falls under a different sort of horror then the latter films. In the end it's a bit harder for me to think that a doll is going to overpower a man, but they keep a proper creepy atmosphere that can't happen in later films since he is reveled after then.

Strange, how popular this was back in its heyday, and how relatively unheard of it is nowadays on horror movie forums and such. The upcoming remake, to be released in 2009, will probably change that however. While it's not a brilliant masterpiece,...

Strange, how popular this was back in its heyday, and how relatively unheard of it is nowadays on horror movie forums and such. The upcoming remake, to be released in 2009, will probably change that however. While it's not a brilliant masterpiece, it's a very violent, very entertaining and occasionally very creepy slasher film. The acting is consistent and appropriate to the material, and the characters are likable.

After 6-year-old Andy Barclay's (Alex Vincent) babysitter is violently pushed out of a window to her death, nobody believes him when he says that "Chucky", his new birthday doll, did it! Until things start going terribly wrong...dead wrong. And when an ensuing rampage of gruesome murders lead a detective (Christ Sarandon) back to the same toy, he discovers that the real terror has just begun...the deranged doll has plans to transfer his evil spirit into a living human being - young Andy! 'Child's Play' is also triumph of special effects. From what I have seen, there are not many films prior to 1988 that have quite as convincing special effects as this film does. Besides from incredible scenes of buildings blowing up in flames, Chucky's face movements are just incredible for a movie that is, now, twenty years old.

Surprisingly creepy.

You either like or dislike this one. It actually is capable of being scary at times, which is hard to believe for a movie about a doll. Its supernatural themes are emphasized in a more believable way than most....

Surprisingly creepy.

You either like or dislike this one. It actually is capable of being scary at times, which is hard to believe for a movie about a doll. Its supernatural themes are emphasized in a more believable way than most. Chucky is very sadistic and this is way before they start to make the series more for humor.

I personally love this film and its definitely worth at least seeing for any horror fan.
