Child's Play Review

Child's Play is the first film in the Chucky series. The film is basically about a killer that before he dies, manages to transport his soul into a doll. The doll ends up in the hands of a kid, and we all know how it goes on from there. I have to admit it... I like this film. It has such a goofy plot, but the way it is executed is actually pretty good. The film is a horror movie about a killer doll.... it sounds goofy as hell but it is really entertaining.

The film is very energetic from start to finish, and is also smartly written. It has some very cool lines, and none of the characters were stupid at all. In most horror movies they tend to make the characters very stupid, and thank god this film didn´t go that route since it would have made the story of a killer doll even more goofy. The movie moves along at a perfect pace, never going way too fast, but never going too slow as to bore you. Chucky has become such an iconic character thanks to this film, and the reason because of that is the way he is written. Everything coming out of this doll's mouth is great, and you can really get a feel to how evil this doll is.

Child's Play is surprisingly good, and is a blast from start to finish. The plot is very goofy, but it somehow manages to ignore that and make a very enjoyable film to watch. I'll review the other 5 Chucky films this week so check back to read those. I'm rating Child's Play 3.5/5
