Child's Play (2019) (BD) [Blu-ray]

This is so much better than we deserve in an era saturated with phoned-in remakes. I loved it. And if you’re worried about the new approach to Chucky’s psychopathy—stop worrying and just give it a chance.Director Lars Klevberg (Polaroid) steps up to helm the 8th Child’s Play feature film to reboot the 7-film run that stemmed from Tom Holland’s (Fright Night, Tales from the Crypt, Thinner, The Temp) magnificent original. Now 30 years later, our Good Guy doll has advanced along with our technology and, for the sake of edgier content, we’ve also made Andy a bit older.Karen (Aubrey Plaza; Life After Beth, Legion) gives her 13-year-old son (Gabriel Bateman; Annabelle, Lights Out) a Buddi doll for his birthday, only to discover this doll has a few… manufacturer defects.The Buddi doll is like a SmartHub meets Siri crossed by BlueTooth and basic artificial intelligence to make daily life easier for all members of the family. And to make Buddi more contemporized, we’ve removed the voodoo possession of the 80s serial killer and made him the product of a disgruntled employee in an abusive Vietnamese factory workplace who removes all safety protocols from the doll’s programming. Yup, we’ve removed Asimov’s laws of robotics (i.e., really laws of AI ethics) to not harm humans and the like. Dear lord… it’s like SkyNet just went live in your own home in the form of a smiling doll with an eerily friendly disposition. And what voice actor could better stand up to the legendary Brad Dourif (The Hazing, Dune, Curse of Chucky, Cult of Chucky) but Mark Hamill (The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance)? Watching Chucky learn was kind of cute—in that troped-up naïve-to-the-world way.Also a big jump from the other movies is that this Chucky doll walks around as part of its normal product function. So being seen moving on its own isn’t a red flag for a killer doll anymore. It brings about a more feisty than malevolent tone at first. Another big change is that this Chucky’s murderous behavior originally stems from good intentions. Sure he strangles a cat… but he thought he was protecting Andy. Chucky is kind of sweet, so we feel badly when he violently errs.But when Chucky sees Andy and friends laughing at the murderous gore of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986) on TV… that’s when we know Chucky is taking a dark turn. Chucky goes from sympathetic to way creepy on a frighteningly credible trajectory.The plot-point writing is a bit clunky (e.g., it took me half the movie to figure out if Plaza’s boyfriend lived with them or not), but the execution still lands entertainingly well, especially when delivered with Aubrey Plaza’s lines or her great interactions with Gabriel Bateman. Their mother-son dynamic feels sincere, congenial, and credibly contemporary. And their neighbor’s friendly son, Detective Norris (Brian Tyree Henry; Hotel Artemis, Godzilla vs Kong), brings poorly-dialogued yet still pleasant levity.And blood…? Yup, there’s a lot of that. The double through-the-skin leg break scene was gleefully shocking with some mean imagery, a soil tiller rips up a guy’s head, a fleshy face is removed from its skull for decorative effect, there’s a sloppy buzzsaw to the crotch (we see it coming, but it’s really fun), blood gushes into people’s faces and, of course, lots of stabbing. The violence is messy, the death scenes will please gore-hounds, and a lot of humor is delivered with the violence and horror.In tone, this film finds a middle ground in the franchise. It’s not as zany as Bride of- or Seed of- or Cult of Chucky (2017), it’s definitely not as mean-spirited as its predecessors either, but there is less “restraint” or mystique than in Child's Play (1988) or Curse of Chucky (2013). The key word for this movie is “fun.” We laugh and smile and giggle frequently. I’d call it the Final Destination 5 (2011) of the Chucky brand.The direction was really impressive and cultivated high-level thrill-ride shock value to the attacks, scares and violence. This movie is way more impressive than I expected and maybe even more than it deserved to be. I feared that an AI Chucky doll (as opposed to possessed by a psychopath) would be a dull modernization playing on color-by-numbers tropes. However, I don’t think I disliked anything about this. Rather… I kind of loved this! Please make a sequel.

This Blu-ray blows the original DVD version of this out of the water. The original DVD I had was in full screen format with a terrible picture quality. It was just awful. This Blu-ray is so clear and crisp compared to the old dvd. Definitely worth the upgrade

Thought it had the digital copy included but was mistaking. Otherwise it's a fun adaptation of the original.

So yeah, this version of Chucky is basically M3GAN. It's not a bad movie though, just not a Child's Play film. It has nothing to do with Charles Lee Ray, or any other Child's Play mythology. In this version Chucky is a killer AI doll.

Not too bad of a movie Definitely different compared to the other ones.

Good value. Definitely not the best one in the series. Good to add to your collection though. Also makes a good gift for horror fan's.

The biggest mistake this remake did was the failed attempt to reimagine the origin of Chucky. Mark Hamill isn't really given much to work with dialogue wise to show a psychotic and terrifying doll. Instead he sounds like a robot that lacks personality... which is essentially what the reimagined concept is. A disgruntled worker that is overworked and underpaid puts malicious code in a buddy doll and that is what ends up becoming Chucky. Aubrey plaza feels out of place as the Mom, the majority of the characters in the film are unlikable, and there is no real sense of fear or dread... just gore for the sake of gore happening to people that most wouldn't miss if they were hit by a bus. The original might have effects that seem hokey or dated by today's standards, but the remakes effects seem low budget and downright sad considering what computers are capable of now. The original is better on all levels, and the Mom is actually likeable in that one too.

Child's Play (2019) brings a fresh and modern twist to the classic horror franchise. With a revamped origin story and updated technology, the film keeps audiences on the edge of their seats. Mark Hamill's voice performance as Chucky is chilling and adds a new layer of terror to the iconic character. The movie strikes a balance between suspense and dark humor, making it an entertaining watch for horror fans. While it may not surpass the original, Child's Play (2019) offers a satisfyingly gruesome and thrilling experience, proving that the killer doll still has plenty of scares left in him.

La película evita copiar totalmente a la original de 1988, para ir en una dirección diferente y actual. Tiene momentos divertidos y otros violentos. En general es buena si eres fan de "Chuky" y esta edición trae subtítulos y audio en español latino, además de un par de extras sobre la realización de la película.
