Child’s Play (1988)
Child’s Play gave the world Chucky and for that, horror fans everywhere are grateful. Although we don’t see much gore in Chucky’s maiden voyage it is a wonderfully twisted and frightening introduction to the demented doll that would entertain us over the course of five movies.
Child’s Play takes place back when Chucky was just Chucky. He wasn’t a husband. He wasn’t a father. He was just a doll – a doll inhabited by the spirit of a murderer. He liked to kill and just generally be a little badass. That’s why we loved him.
Child’s play ins a genuinely frightening movie even if it does go a little light on the blood. Chucky is a horror movie icon and when you watch this movie, you understand why.
Quick Review: Child’s Play is a must see series for any slasher movie fan and this is the movie that started it all. Gore fans don’t despair; it gets bloodier with every sequel.
