•What I appreciate is that this is not just a shot for shot remake of the 1988 movie (which I love and would watch all the time when I was a kid). Yes, it features a killer doll named Chucky whose given to a boy named Andy (although in this movie Andy is 13) as a gift from his Mom. But the origin story of Chucky is very different and they made it fit into modern times.
•Andy is played surprisingly well by Gabriel Bateman. He didn’t annoy me the way a lot of kid actors do.
•When Mark Hamill announced he was going to be the voice of Chucky I thought that was absolutely perfect casting. I was a little worried that he would just be doing the Joker voice again but it wasn’t. He did an amazing job as usual.
•The movie never takes it self too seriously and just has fun. I had a blast watching this.
•The kills were creative.
•I read somewhere that the budget on this was $10 million. It looks good and they were able to make the most of the money they had.
•Only an hour and a half which is the perfect length for a movie like this. It kept me engaged the whole time and I never once felt bored.
Cons:
•Falls apart a bit at the end. Not that I hated it or anything, it’s just that compared to the rest of the movie it’s kind of weak. Still, definitely check it out.
My Rating: 8/10
