35 years later, as Chucky Season 3 is in full swing, we look back at Child's Play, the movie that started it all.
The Big Picture From Freddy Krueger to Ghostface, the slasher genre is full of scary, iconic bad guys constantly waiting to rip us apart with their weapon of choice. And, if you were a kid in between the late '80s and the early '90s, they didn’t get scarier or more iconic than Chucky . For years on end, the murderous doll from Tom Holland’s Child’s Play terrified children all across the globe, even if they only heard about him from older siblings and TV spots.
It’s a strong synopsis, apart from the voodoo element, which stands out as the only part of the film that truly gives away its age. Sure, Holland, alongside fellow writers Don Mancini and John Lafia, does his best to convey that Ray is perverting the religion’s principles for the purpose of reaching eternal life. But it is still uncomfortable to watch Chucky spewing what is supposed to be a voodoo chant and calling on a storm to wreak havoc upon the world.
Oddly enough, despite being the Lakeshore Strangler, Chucky doesn’t strangle many people to death. As a matter of fact, he only takes this approach once and fails miserably. Far from being a problem, this disdain for Charles Lee Ray’s original M.O. proves to be a blessing, as the movie gifts us with creative death scenes that are as gruesome as they are delightful to watch.
Douriff is the big stand-out of Child’s Play’s adult cast. But, to be fair, he’s also the one who is given the most juicy material to work with. Sarandon and Hicks both deliver good performances, but there isn’t really anything remarkable about them. Their investigation into Chucky’s origin is by far the least interesting part of the movie, and, considering its conclusion, it’s definitely a pity that it takes up so much space.
