Advantages: Great horror with a few good laughs Disadvantages: Can get a little to silly in parts
...film used a seemingly innocent child's toy as a sadistic unstoppable killing machine.
**BRIEF PLOT**
When detective Mike Norris, (played by Chris Sarandon) pursues and corners Charles Lee Ray, {aka 'Chucky'}, the evil "Lakeshore Strangler," (played by Brad Dourif), Ray unleashes more than he can handle as before he dies he uses an ancient voodoo ritual to transport his soul into a nearby child's toy 'Good Guy Doll'.
Meanwhile, a young boy named ... ...maniac being a funny looking child's toy.
'Chucky', as the doll likes to be called, turns out to be a dab hand with a hammer and a hunting knife whilst still looking like a little lovable cuddly toy. Although not something you'd want in your home, especially near the kitchen knives.

Advantages: Excellent film good acting Disadvantages: A little gorey and controversial
...as there are four more Child's play films.

He then uses Andy, (the little boy who recieves the doll as a birthday present) ... ...something quite wrong about a child's doll that goes on a killing spree. The film eradicates the innocence of a toy and replaces it with evil and torture, two things that should never go hand in hand.
There was much controversy regarding this film as it was linked to the two monsters who murdered poor little James Bulger. This link was made by the Sun newspaper although no inextreicable link was made. So I would not recommend this film to anyone ...

This movie released 20 years ago still amazes me with its good story line and classic slasher status amoungst horror fans. I have all the DVD's and have watched them many times, this is one of my favourite horror movies but be aware of the below average SFX. From the car chase to the blood, you will not be disappointed by our small iconic doll. ...
