Minden idők legveszélyesebb gyermekjátéka visszatér. Karen (Aubrey Plaza), az egyedülálló anya megajándékozza kisfiát, Andyt (Gabriel Bateman) egy hightech Buddi-játékbabával. Amivel azonban egyikük sincs tisztában, hogy az öntudatra ébredő szülinapi ajándékot átjárja a gonoszság. (Big Bang Media)

Elvárni manapság a Gyerekjáték filmtől valami nagyot naiv lenne. A hasonló témát eltartó nyolcvanas évek már rég elmúltak. De dicséretes, hogy nem lett igazán rossz. A téma frissítése a játékbaba mobiltelefonon keresztül történő összekapcsolásával és a mesterséges intelligenciával való visszaéléssel illik a mai modern korhoz, és annak ellenére, hogy Chucky varázslása a későbbi jelenetekben minden technológiai logikát nélkülöz, mégis hatásos. A filmet nem lehet horrorfilmként felfogni (hacsak nem vagy nyolcéves), amit a film is tudja, és a legdurvább jelenetet is ironikus humorral könnyíti meg. Chucky arca a pirosan izzó szemekkel (amikor rossz) nagyon menő, és az erőszakba való fokozatos belesüllyedése is jól van ábrázolva. Ezek a film legjobb részei. A "látványos" finálé, amely az eredeti, bensőségesebb cselekményfejlődést akarja feldobni, ellenkezőleg a filmet elcsépelt és nem túl ötletes pillanatokkal eltemeti. A forgatókönyvírók fejében ennek tovább kellett volna még kristályosodni.

The Child’s Play brand is unnecessarily applied to this film, but I really like this technological update. And when it comes to “remakes”, I like those that aren’t afraid of reworking the original, which to a great extent is the case here; so, basically… satisfaction. It’s well crafted, the characters are likeable and it’s well acted. On top of that, the film is permeated with an effective humour that’s quite fitting (certainly more than in this year’s It). And for a “kids” horror, it’s also quite bloody. My biggest problem, though, is with the look of the titular doll. It’s ugly AF and I can’t believe that any company would design their super commercial toy like this.

Thirteen-year-old Andy has a new toy, a supermodern doll called Chucky. And Chucky's a little broken, so he starts killing people to make Andy happy. This new version of the horror classic doesn't scare too much, but it entertains with comic brutality, decent actors and a Stranger Things-style atmosphere. Nothing great, but as a horror one-off, the new Child's Play holds up.

Can the Chucky doll be taken seriously? I don’t think so. And even though the film tries to milk the audience’s emotions and convey some sort of moral message, it is still a remake of a horror classics that doesn’t deserve more than three stars. On the contrary, three stars might be more than enough here. Moreover, the movie tries to copy the atmosphere of Stranger Things or It, but doesn’t really succeed in doing so.

A pretty decent new version of Chucky. Chucky was never one of my favourite horror properties, so I approached the film more coldly, but in the end a nice surprise. Chucky's Design didn't do much, but the main characters did a good job. I enjoyed the cop, there was some humour and surprisingl it's nicely brutal, at least the scene with the lawnmower and saw is worth it. It's a shame the finale didn't push things further, but still on the whole a satisfying flick. 65%.

I liked the idea that admiring "fun" violence can very easily lead to real violence, if the man or the redheaded doll lacks discernment and if he skips over it for certain reasons. The new Child's Play delighted me with this, as much as with its more careful (by the standards of a horror movie about a murderous toy, that is, of course) portrayal of children (yes, there are a few of them, and that's a good thing) and adults, or its grand finale, which could easily have been bigger. On the plus side, I'd like to add Bear McCreary's score, which I thought was just fantastic – it practically keeps playing with the Buddy toy tune, also composed by McCreary, and it's very entertaining. Like the whole film. It's on a par with the original Child's Play.

My expectations were rather lukewarm for this movie. However, it is not just a rip-off of the original. Surprisingly, the new Child's Play succeeded as a very good and tremendously entertaining movie, with a new, modern take on the iconic murderous doll. The biggest advantage? It has what the original trilogy desperately lacked - a conspicuous sense of humor. In addition, the main characters are so likeable, you want them to stay alive for the sequel, and yes, I would definitely like to see one. It has a few flaws in its perfection, that we could forgive the makers for (the ominous glowing of Chucky's eyes seemed to me to be a pretty tacky and useless gimmick). However, in the end, it is simply an escapist comedy horror movie that is refreshing, well cast, surprisingly very funny and just cool in every way.

If 2019's Child's Play was an original movie and not building on something that has been around for quite a while, plus there had not been a sequel in the original franchise two years ago, I would have probably given the movie a better rating because it manages to be entertaining and slightly creepy, although I think the original Child's Play is better at this. However, simply the fact that it is a remake makes me not take it that seriously.
