Horror maestro Tom Holland (Fright Night) brought wit and devilish energy to this 1988 scarefest about a murderer (Brad Dourif) who wills his soul into an innocuous doll named Chucky, and reveals himself only to the toy's owner, a frightened little boy. Catherine Hicks plays the child's mother, and Chris Sarandon a detective; neither of them knows what to make of the kid's story. Monster-doll stories are always wonderfully surreal, and Child's Play is no exception. Holland oversees some finely tuned special effects that allow Chucky to express himself and do some damage--it is truly unnerving but somehow good, subversive fun. --Tom Keogh

Rating: - Child:s Play - Best of the series
Child's Play No. 1 is still the Best. R rated for language and brutality, but if you like to be scared with a can't look away for a second story, you'll love it.Might try No. II.Child's Play (Chucky's 20th Birthday Edition)

- Brilliant horror
Child's Play is a brilliant and origional horror movie. It creates a new spin on the slasher genre by having the killer be a childrens' doll (NOT a spoiler, it is known from the very start of the movie that the doll is the killer).
Serial killer Charles Lee Ray is chased by the police one night and hides in a toy warehouse. They police follow him in and shoot him. As he dies, he envokes some kind of power by chanting a spell and putting himself into the body of one of the toys - a Good ... Read More
Rating: - The Original ''Chucky'' Still The Best
This is a truly interesting horror flick that was so popular in its day that sequels have been coming out ever since, none of course matching this one: the original.
The film builds up suspense in the beginning and then takes off once "Chucky" comes to life. It almost takes half the movie for that to happen. It stays intense from that point and certainly keeps your attention. The only change I would have made was to the end the movie five minutes earlier, but they tacked on something that ... Read More

My review of the included Special Features found on the 20th anniversary edition:
- Commentary track with creator/writer Don Mancini and producer David Kirschner.
**The commentary from these two was very informative and descriptive about the technicalities that went into the making of the film. They would get to the point on specifics with each scene shown and would rarely carry on into the next with their conversation. Mancini and Kirschner gave an insightful and surprisingly detailed ...
