From its over-the-top '80s-action beginning to its Terminator -like conclusion, you'll be amazed the actors managed to keep from giggling. While the premise of an evil toy has built-in appeal for youthful horror addicts, very little of this movie is easy to take seriously. She very happily told my eyebrow lady all about it this morning, obviously enjoyed herself! Other than that though, the violence was very fake and sometimes silly. The ONLY scene that really scared her was when Chucky electrocutes the doctor, because there's blood coming out of his eyes, that visual was disturbing for her. She has attachment anxiety and was a little uneasy about the boy being taken from his mother by the police, though didn't get hung up on it for long. There was a lot of swearing which made her gasp, but she eventually got over it. Seeing him melted at the end was a little freaky, but not that bad since he looks like an overcooked marshmallow. We laughed our heads off at the scene where Chucky tries to kill the cop through his car seat and "just keeps poking him in the butt", she says that's one of her favorite parts. Shocker, right? Some icons live forever! She's pretty sensitive, but found Chucky's oldschool movie puppet look to be cheesy and not so scary.

One of the lead characters, a police detective, is usually shown smoking a cigarette. ![]() Some profanity, especially when the doll becomes more fully possessed by the serial killer - "f-k" used a few times. Besides this, Chucky attacks by strangulation, with a knife, a scalpel, and by turning on the gas of the rundown apartment building occupied by his former partner in crime, resulting in a large explosion that destroys the building. A woman is stabbed in the forehead with the claw side of a hammer, which sends her falling backwards and then falling four stories to her death. There are a few killings, the violence mostly of an unreal horror-movie variety (an electrocution victim gets charred and bloody, like hamburger). Parents need to know that Child's Play is a 1988 horror movie in which a doll possessed by a recently-deceased serial killer goes after a little boy and those around him. ![]()
