Child’s Play for what it is kinda holds up. Sets the scene for Charles Lee Ray. The voice that was done was legendary. Chuckys laugh is as crazed as the jokers. He’s hilarious without really trying to be. On spin every year 🔪

A fun mix of dark humor and terror with an iconic villain in Chucky. It’s silly at times, but the practical effects and tension make it a horror classic that still holds up.

It's like begging my dog to talk as a child
Am I only getting in on this franchise just to see Fiona Dourif later on to fill the void the Pitt season 2 left? Maybe.
