Child's Play

DIRECTED BY: Tom Holland

REVIEWED: 11-02-98

Child's Play is about a dying murderer named Charles E. Ray who contributes his soul to a doll named Chucky. It happens to be that a kid named Andy is having a birthday the next day. Unfortunately, his mom can't afford one of the dolls but that day, where Andy's mom works, her friend says she saw one of the dolls. A peddler had it. The mom makes a deal with the peddler and buys the doll and that's when the killing begins.

Child's Play was exciting, interesting, and surprisingly funny. I was surprised, there was some horror but not an incredible amount. I liked how when someone thought Andy did something bad like kill someone or something the person would discover evidence in a creepy way that proves Andy innocent. I also was impressed with the camerawork and thought the special effects were very good.
