La bambola assassina

When I went into this movie I was a little hesitant if I was going to enjoy it or not, but I was pleasantly surprised!

They have managed to successfully update the storyline for modern audiences and incorporated today's technology. The kills were much more inventive and they elevated the gore factor.

The character development was strong, with a few emotional scenes. Chucky came across as more of a human character rather than a robot doll. There were so many Easter eggs and nods to the original movie. It would of been a 10 star rating if Chucky said my favourite lines 'wanna play'

It's only of the best films I've seen in 2019.

The movie was a really wild ride. It was really scary even though the main villain is a doll. It was bloody and one of the best reboots. Really good jumpscares. The acting was perfect. I recommend you to watch the movie.

Buddi is a doll produced by the Kaslan Corporation. It's a high-tech companion that can connect to the myriad of Kaslan products. A disgruntled employee turns off all the safeguards in one of the dolls. Karen Barclay (Aubrey Plaza) is a struggling single mom to hearing impaired Andy. She is desperate to get a Buddi and the store cashier takes a damaged returned doll from her workplace. The doll insists on being called Chucky. Detective Mike Norris (Brian Tyree Henry) is the son of the Barclays' neighbor. Chucky, with the bad programming, starts killing and Detective Mike investigates.

This is NOT Chucky. This is not the franchise. This is all wrong. The doll is ugly AF. Chucky is a beautiful horror icon. If one overlooks those stuff, this is actually a well-made horror movie. It seems to dabble in some camp but mostly, it's a sincere horror. Before watching it, I had full expectation of an ugly mess. The first visual is the ugly mug of the doll and it seems to be well on its way. Somehow, the camp slowly faded and it gets replaced by a competent effort in all areas. The kids are great rooting interest. Aubrey Plaza is a fine mom with an edge. I am struck by the sense that the movie is in good hands. I have never seen anything from this director but maybe I will keep an eye out for him in the future.

I think this movie works best if you go into it watching it on it's own terms, as it's own thing and not thinking of it as a Child's play remake because if you're a Chucky purist you probably will hate this movie because it takes so much of what you love about the Child's play movies and totally tosses it out and replaces it with something totally different. But for me, I could watch it on it's own terms and I enyojed what this movie had to give by making Chucky AI that actually does want to be Andy's friend but it is deeply broken on the inside. It's able to explore some very different things like friendship, jealousy and it takes things in a very different direction. For me it's not as good as the original, but I can still have a lot of fun with it.

Child's Play (2019) was really good to be fair! Hilarious "animatronics" like in the original, shocking OTT gore, comedy.... everything you want in a movie about a killer doll! Don't go in comparing it to the original, just enjoy the little nods to it! Hamill makes Chucky feel more creepy, Plaza can do no wrong anyway in my eyes... all the cast were solid in all honesty!
