Halloween Movie Month [Child's Play]

Ahhhh Child's Play, the movie that if you saw it as a kid it made you freaked out at dolls for awhile. Over the years this, at least the first film in this series, has gotten cult status. It follows the story of the Barclay family. It's Andy's birthday and he wants the newest toy, The Good Guy Doll. Of course he is disappointed when he doesn't get it. While at work though, his mother Karen get's taken outside my her friend Maggie to a homeless man who happens to have a doll. She get's a good deal on it and takes it home to the delight of Andy. Later that night Karen has to be back at work so Maggie is baby sitting. The night for her doesn't end so well and the events to come will terrify the police and the Barclay family in the near future. This is a solid flick, I think. It's a late 80s horror that takes notes from it's predecessors. The music is 80s-ey and it does it job. Also the acting, especially by Alex Vincent (Andy), is really good and I like we get to "know" the characters as the movie went. The scares are good, only a couple "make you jump spots". But the first time Chucky springs to life on camera, oh man that's a creepy fun moment. While there's a lot of gun fire and some stabbing, etc, there's not a whole ton of blood.  The humor in this is limited, but in there as well. The old people on the elevator with the doll near end of the movie, just haha. I really liked the fact they kept the mystery aspect throughout and even the voodoo and supernatural parts were explained too. This is a movie, I think, most people go into thinking it's not worth their time.  Give it a chance though, it's a good late-80s horror, not yet ruined by all it's sequels.
