Since this horror flick had a pretty good reputation, I was quite eager to check it out. Eventually, to be honest, I had some rather mix feelings about the whole thing. Indeed, in my opinion, it was not really scary and, above all, when you think about it for a minute, it has in fact a rather stupid premise which I found rather difficult to take seriously. Indeed, even though a doll can look prett... read more

In the mood to kill, not to play

Have an appreciation for horror, and that was one of two main reasons why 'Child's Play' was viewed in the first place. The other was, having been on a roll reviewing whole horror franchises recently, to see all of the 'Child's Play'/Chucky films featuring one of horror's most iconic villains Chucky the killer doll, wanting to see whether the character did deserve his horror icon status.

Leatherface vs. (126 movies items)

"Chucky Saw vs. Doll! Leatherface vs. Chucky hinges on whether it is a straight fight (Leatherface wins) or an ambush (Chucky wins). Leatherface’s immense strength and destructive chainsaw make him superior in brute combat, while Chucky’s small size, high intelligence, and stealth allow him to outmaneuver and assassinate the hulking, often slower chainsaw killer. Leatherface's Advantages: Strength & Durability: Leatherface is a large, physically imposing brute who can survive major"

Mustanaamio7's Movie Diary 2024 (165 movies items)

"21.8. 2024 A little boy gets a hit doll as a gift but the spirit of a serial killer hidden inside the toy starts terrorizing innocent people. Dolls are rarely scary and in the '80s they were already overused in horror cinema. The scariest and the most interesting aspect of the otherwise generic slasher is the idea that only a few people can take the idea of a doll murdering people seriously."
