Child's Play: Review By Jakn

If this director was trying to make this film scary, then he failed very, very badly. I would have been laughing at this film instead of laughing with it because this film is not scary at all. It's hard for something to be scary when it's actuually funny. The idea of a child's toy, swearing, talking in a slim drunk man's voice, and going around killing people is laughable. It's hard not to find scary when it's actually funny.

Now if he was making this look like a horror fooling audiences into seeing a comedy, then he made an enjoyable comedy. Every time somebody gets murdered in this film is a laugh. Why? The murders are ridiculous. Like turning around, getting whapped in the forehead by a hammer, backing up uncontrollably, falling out of a window over three stories high and landing on a hood of a car is something so impossible for something like that to happen, but watching it happen on screen is laughable, especially the murder coming from a doll.

'Child's Play' is about a young boy who gets a Good Guys doll for his birthday. Once that doll gets in the house strange things star happening, like the TV turning on all by itself. Then after an unusual and funny murder of a relative, the young boy says that his doll, Chucky, did it. Police and detectives start to think that the boy is psychotic and the lock him up in institution, but little they know the child was right.

Some of the actors acting I found untalented, such as the little boy. He was hardly acting. He was just repeating his lines from the script. That's not acting! I liked the visuals the most in this film. Watching the little killing doll walking around was very interesting and entertaining to watch.

I wouldn't call this a horror/comedy, even though it made me laugh a lot. 'Child's Play' is possibly one of the funniest horror (just horror alone) movies I've ever seen yet.
