An average movie

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 pretty creepy, can it be a real threat? I’m not so sure. Still, I think they managed to get most of this rather preposterous concept, the whole thing had its charms and it remains one of the 80's classic horror movies. In fact, it is rather surprising that they have not come up with a reboot since most of those horror flicks have been rebooted by now. Apparently, Don Mancini, the creator of this franchise, was in fact actually planning to make a reboot but, somehow, they still ended up with another sequel which was a direct-to-dvd release (‘Curse of Chucky’). Anyway, to conclude, even though I wasn’t completely impressed, it remains a classic in this genre and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you're a horror fan.
