It's a rare occurrence that when I review a film for this site, it's a series I'm truly a fan of. I mean, all the films I even bother with are ones that interest me in the first place, so there's always a good chance that I'll like what I'm watching. However, it's usually a film I'm "taking a chance on" via my local Redbox kiosk, and I'm always upfront and honest with each film I review. I must confess, in full disclosure, that I am a fan of the Child's Play series. Or Chucky Series. Call it whatever you want. "Child's Play" sounds classier, so I'll use that. However, that fact does not protect it from any harsh criticisms. Instead, the film does a fine job of protecting itself. Here's my review...



There's a scene involving a game of Russian Roulette with a bowl of poisoned chili that is made up of beautiful shots and great suspense. Being a direct-to-market film, the budget on this movie was low. In fact, it was the lowest budget in the series. Yet Mancini was able to hold a professional look. Unfortunately, the thing that looks the most cheap at times is the doll. This is my biggest gripe of the film. Depending on the shot, Chucky goes from looking like the plain ol' Good Guy Doll, to having a feminine chunk-face. It's weird, and some will get caught on that for sure, but it was a small gripe in the grand scheme of things.

Reason to Stay After the Credits: YES!! DON'T MISS THIS SCENE!!!
