Entertainment Reviews:
...A fitting successor to the classic television horror stories it takes off from....Holland treats his audience intelligently...
New York Times
Rating: 8/10 --
When the doll begins not just talking - with the excellent, near-iconic voice of Brad Dourif in his mouth - but sneering, snarling and stabbing, it's an excellent reveal.

The Child's Play series kicks off with this alternatingly silly and frightening installment...

Reel Film Reviews
...An exceptionally jolting roller-coaster ride through an especially scary tunnel of love....The chills come thick and fast...
Los Angeles Times
Making a good horror-thriller, or even a good horror-comedy, is not child's play, as this schizoid film all too unfortunately proves.

In short, it is a title... whose plot idea was worthy of greater efforts. [Full review in Spanish]

3 stars out of 5 -- CHILD'S PLAY works fine as goofy nostalgia...

Product Description:
The Lake Shore Strangler, a mass murderer who has plagued the Chicago area for months, meets his untimely end when he gets shot in a toy warehouse. Left for dead, the killer summons the strength to recite a voodoo chant which causes his soul to be "reincarnated" into one of the dolls resting on the shelves. The incantation also sparks an unnatural lightning storm, and when lightning hits the warehouse, it burns to the ground. Only one doll survives: the doll possessed by the killer's soul. Later, a mother innocently buys this doll as a present for her son. At first, everything seems fine, but soon the doll starts communicating with the young boy. Then he slays the child's babysitter. That's only the first of his many gruesome exploits, however. So watch out...because just when you think Chucky's gone--he might be coming back. Horror master Tom Holland (FRIGHT NIGHT) directs this horror classic that spawned several sequels.
