Meh, another mediocare review.

Brad Dourif said in an interview that the elevator scene where he says fuck you was a line he just threw in. It wasn't in the script originally.

This made me throw away my My Buddy doll. Not because I was afraid I was just disappointed it didn't come to life.

Child's Play was basically my intro into horror as a young'un as well .

alex vincent's acting in this movie is absolutely adorable, i love it

Love this movie. Just watched it again after 20 years. "Andy no, friends til the end remember?" ......."This is the end, friend." Gold!

That child’s play ending credits theme though

Chucky introduced me to horror as a kid and has always been my favorite, this one was always my favorite out of the series. You can never mess with a classic. And although you didn't get the most of Chucky, his personality still rang through so well. My favorite scene was always when he visited John and let's out that theatrical laugh when he realizes he has to get Andy. That laugh is iconic.

Whhaaatttt, i cant believe you think the scene with chucky melted wlking looks rough, handsdown one of my favourite scens in the movie looks so damn badass haha took a screenshot as my desktop background like a year ago love your stuff though keep em coming

That iconic scene when he finally comes to life scared the SHIT out of me as a kid lol... it doesn't scare me anymore of course but I will forever remember and love that shocking reveal. Amazing review Cody!

One of the classics for sure. Love this one and Chucky will NEVER die! Awesome intro as always man

There's not really much I can say about the first "Child's Play" because you're review summed it up nicely. The only things I'll add is that Chucky is definitely at his scariest here. Especially when stalking and confronting Andy at the end. The score really sells it too and STILL gives me chills!!!

Now HERE"S a horror franchise that I can get behind. In fact, it was when watching these reviews a few years aga that I finally decided to get into "Child's Play". Since then, it's been a great series of films (for the most part) to go back rewatch every so often. Thank you, Cody, for getting me into Chucky.

This movie was so frightening to me as a child I would literally cry whenever the commercial came on🤣🤣 and let me tell you to me it's even scarier in Spanish. I don't know how I went from a scaredy cat afraid of everything thing to having a horror collection🤷‍♀️ Also I really like your reviews and seeing them from your point of view.

A cool scene is when the detective asks the bum where he got the doll after saving the mom from getting raped and the bum says he got it at an old, abandoned toy store or whatever the line was and the reaction on Sarandon's face is priceless. He then explains to Ms. Barkley where he killed Charles Lee Ray. At the toy store.

I’m on a binge of watching these old reviews again. I love this channel.

Happy 30th anniversary child's play

That elevator scene is my favorite one liner too. Cracks me up every time

Honestly the thing that sticks out to me with this movie is how you actually get to see chucky become more human in the doll, towards the end he has human skin, the hair he had as a human, and a bit of facial hair.

Personally, this one is my favorite. (Usually I've found people's favorite is CP 1, CP 2, or Bride). I just love the gritty Chicago atmosphere and the suspense of this one. It's just got that classic original feel, and like you, I attribute the success of it mostly to Tom Holland. Also, i love the music in this one...the music they use throughout but especially the song they play during the end credits. It's..."hauntingly beautiful," if that makes sense. If you haven't heard it, there's a director's commentary online of Tom Holland talking about the movie while it plays. For some reason, they excluded him from the 20th anniversary DVD. Really cool to listen to it!

Another great review. My favourite scene in this movie is when the batteries fall out the box followed by the creepy musical cue, man that freaks me out thinking about it. She knows, and he's sat there in the living room. One of my favourite straight horror movies.

"Chucky wants to watch the 9:00 o'clock neeeeeewwwwwsss "😂😂

Awwww babies always get me cats to

This film is a classic.

That scene when Chucky comes to life at the fireplace is hilarious it’s scary and hilarious at the same time! Great review Cody! You are AWESOME Cody!!

Just found this channel been looking for some good horror reviews keep up the sick reviews

Great review man. I should've bought the Scream Factory collector's edition upon its release. This movie scared me as kid. That scene where Andy looks out the window and sees Chucky climbing stairs at the other end of the building was extremely effective for me as you can imagine, being Andy's age at the time. I really wish they would bring back those animitronic practical effects.

Finally got around to watching your reviews. I remember rewatching this one a few years ago and I told Anthony one of the great parts about it was that it really made you think the kid did it. In my mind I sometimes try to rewrite how I think the reveal would be if Andy was the Killer. Another element I am happy we can agree on is the return of Det.Mike Norris, if they reveal that he tried to keep an eye on Andy as much as possible would be a great addition to the story of not bookend it for him and Andy being the ones to stop him. Well done review. Plus I'm sure this was discussed before but listen to Child's Play by The Ghetto Boys and hear the complete and I mean this in the most sarcastic way graphic details of how the film goes by Bushwick Bill

I love what you said about the best one liner in the movie. Isn't not Chucky if there is no cursing and it's great that it's part of it because who would expect a child's plaything to curse. Also it's fun to see the reaction of any kid holding the doll when it talks like that. It's also amazing that even a child would believe a doll could walk and talk at all, much less kill and teach to kill, and be able to hide off this from adults until it's their time to go, but of course that's the whole appeal.

Great review great intro great background as always

Chucky's comment after her saying ugly doll madeeeeeee that movie for me. I laughed hysterically.

My favorite of the franchise. Catherine Hicks doesn’t get enough credit. She (along with Brad Dourif) carry the film.

Bruh Cody leach, your content slaps I love child’s play and horror movies in general

Amen to nobody doing better justice to the role of Chucky than Brad Dourif. He is the best.

Really addicted to you content man. Quality horror channel.

Child's Play is one of my favourite horror franchises of all time. I don't think this movie works as well without Brad Dourif. His voice over for Chucky was amazing. I had no idea as a kid who it was that voiced Chucky but it was the biggest reason I loved it growing up. It wasn't until RZ Halloween that I realised it was Brad Dourif, which amazed me even more. This is your first review. I have watched and loved it, subscribed, and will be watching all your other reviews of the big 80's horrors.

I remember this being the first in the franchise I watched when I was 7 or 8 years old. The Chucky films were some of the of the few films that helped further my development as a horror fan

Chris is great is Princess Bride too. I got his autograph at a comic con.

Awesome review man child’s play will always be my favourite not only because of how good they play the mystery aspect but because of how great the film is overall it will always be in my heart as the first 80s film I saw in the cinema 2 months ago keep up great work you do thanks for these reviews they are a blast to watch

Can you believe it's almost been 30 years? Watched this three years ago (was 16 at the time) and I loved it! The direction and acting is great and of corse the kills are amazing! I've seen the first three movies, the third ones okay, but I'll discuss my problem with it when you review the movie.

Great review, Cody. Big fan of this franchise since I was 8 and it also got me into horror films as well. Love this movie to death and it's still my favorite in the franchise.

Love your videos Cody! Keep up the amazing work! Love Chucky!

Great review, I haven't seen Child's Play in a long time, I def want to watch it soon! :)

Excellent video Cody. As for your negatives about the film, I do agree with about those scenes where we know that is someone dressed in Chucky clothes and running. Those scenes didn't work for me back then and they certainly don't hold up now. As for Chucky's character, I don't consider the limitations they had on him as a negative. No one knew how popular Chucky would become so I consider what they did with him a plus. It allow them make Chucky into the horror icon that he is today.

Can’t wait for 2019. :)

I was lucky enough to have this be my first child's play movie. You spent two thirds of the movie thinking that you may never see the doll come to life, or if you did it might not live up to the expectation. When it finally got to the pay-off you realize you are witnessing some next level shit. The animatronics absolutely still hold up to this day. I only wish that I could see it for the first time again.

I think the Child's Play series should end with Chris Sarandon back as Mike Norris finally doing what he failed to do in the toy store and kill Charles Lee Ray for good. My theory on how to kill Chucky permanently is that if his human corpse which is buried in Hackensack, New Jersey as seen in Bride is still intact the heroes could do a reverse voodoo spell that transfers Chucky's soul from the doll back into his original human body then they'd pump him full of bullets killing him easily and the series would end with all of Charles Lee Ray's efforts to avoid death being in vain because he'll have ended up back at square one. Back in his original human body bleeding to death from gunshot wounds just like the circumstances that forced him to become a doll in the first place only this time there's no saving him and the voodoo can't help him.

Chris Sarandon's detective character, I have the same feelings that I have about dr. Neil Gordon from Dream Warriors. That one character that should have been in more films.

I agree on the one liner. It got my first laugh in the whole series

Love this movie and the feel to it. The man in the suit is a fair criticism just one that didn't bother me as much and actually got me kinda creeped out 8/10 for me. Great review and that comment battle with rhfuxhsg, sjeffqdjs was hilarious 😂🤣😅🤣

Super clever opening. I totally love the little doll collection. I could only identify a few of them.

1:59 Me too. The first horror film I ever saw was Child's Play 2 when I was younger. I watched it with my mother and my brothers and I've been into horror ever since. I even have both a clean faced and a scarred Chucky in my room and I also have Tiffany too.

Good review man. Yea it would be cool if mike was back. But u do find out andys mom is in a relationship with him in curse. When Andy talks to his mom on the phone, and Andy says how’s mike.

Awesome review man. The original child’s play is my personal favorite.

Awesome review dude , this one hits hone for me cause chucky was my "IT" as a kid, now my fear is an obsession haha can't wait for cult of chucky next week !

There's an implication in the dialogue in the Andy scene at the end of Curse of Chucky that Sarandon's character ended up with Hicks'. Whether they'll follow that up in the new one is anyone's guess.

Good review. Simple yet very effective kinda like stuckman keep up the good work

Definitely my favorite Child's play movie, then it's 2 & 3. 4-6 are not so good, awesome review man keep it up, and subbed you 😌

This one is just the beginning of the story, therefore I feel ‘Chucky’s’ character is still very much new…thus, making the sequel a bit more fulfilling in terms of his character-development and the third film an impressive conclusion to the introduction of the developing franchise.

The first original Child's Play is amazing. This is the movie that made me a huge fan of the horror genre and Brad Dourif is a damn legend. No one will ever be able to play the role of Chucky. His voice is so iconic and that awesome laugh is the best. However, I could never really get invested in the sequels. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying they're bad I'm just not that of a big fan.

This movie was one of my earliest horror memories. I had to be atleast 3 or 4 watching these w my brother and sister. But this very movie used to creep the shit out of me as a little kid. Now as an adult, I cannot watch any Chucky movie I grew up to without laughing my ass off. Especially Bride of Chucky. But this first movie, takes me all the way back to when we were all little. Me. My siblings. My cousins. Specifically back to the year 2001 when was the first time I ever seen that psychotic ass doll on my TV Screen

As a tiny child I would scream and cry if my parents wouldn't rewind the child's play tapes so I could keep watching...over and over again. Now as a 21 year old every Halloween I have to watch my favorite boi ✌️ after cult of chucky we should get a "chunky boy band" spin off lmao

Idk why I've been avoiding your reviews for the past few years, but I love your content now! Child's play was also my first horror movie when I was 3, and Freddy Krueger is my favorite horror icon followed close by Chucky! Subscribed.

Cody is the master of intros

Childs play is my favorite one and the scariest and its what made him scary. I like how scary the ending is.I didnt expect that.

great video👋👌 I like this movie, but part 2 is my favorite 😍 bride and seed are just okay...my favorite scene is when chucky talks for the first time lol 😄 that's how all men talk to women 😄

While Freddy Kruger and Jason Voorhees were becoming jokes and past their prime in 1989.. it’s refreshing that Childs play created such a fresh and unique new slasher

This review is really good and I agree.

GREAT movie,great review~~ Brad forever!

Amazing review Cody!!! And I took your advice and bought it sooo worth it. And the fact that you pinned that hater LMAO Cody leach= LEGEND

I just watched Child’s Play and it was great! I really enjoyed its direction and scares and story and all the horror elements, too!!

It's on netflix

I watched the movie 2 hours ago first time I watched it and I love it I say it's the best Chucky film

AMAZING Intro. Well fuckin done

Oh and by the way my uncle has a TV with movies for free on it like Harry Potter it has Curse of Chucky on it lol.

Thank you for reviewing child’s play

Cody I love watching your reviews. Your very talented my friend. Keep it up man.

I watched at 5 and now I'm 9 I still love it

If Cult of Chucky is how they are going to use Dourifs voice then I can’t wait for the Child’s Play remake and I just hope people give it a chance

Where did you get the little horror doll figures?? They're so cute!!

Ive always agreed the animatronics on chucky have been amazing some people talk it down

That kids acting grinds my gears as well.

How did Andy's mom go to a mental hospital if there were 2 cops there to testify that Chucky was alive

One of my fav scary movies. I saw it at the theatre on opening night

The costume scenes feel too human, it needs the stiff movements since it is a doll

u right about Andy's lines being dragged like the dolls name chuc ky

I started watching NMOES at 3 or 4, I used to watch that shit like other kids watched Seasame St. First thing in the morning eating my pancakes, over and over again. I loved this movie too.

The little kid who played Chucky when he's running in the background was played by the same actor who played Isaac in Children of the Corn.

I can't choose between this one or the sequel! Even with the flaws, they're so well hidden that you must have cat-eyes to see them, even if in the rest of the series Chucky doesn't need help and i think his lines are really awensome, like the one when he comes to life cracks me! :))

Freddy and Chucky are my 2 favorite horror icons as well, but Chucky has the number 1 spot. Been watching these movies since i was 5/6 years old. Keep horror alive!

I think the scene where hes walking towards andy all burnt is one of the best scenes in horror looks amazing

have you reviewed the leprechaun horror movie

My favourite movie from the series! I can't put any other movie, like A Nightmare On Elm Street i go around 1 and 3, i'm not sure about Friday The 13th and maybe will never be sure, but definetly Child's Play 1 is my favourite!!! The way he becomes more and more human, the mystery, and was the first character slasher that i made contact with in this movie, and i'm only 17!

that opening scene is still my favorite. deal with it.

Man, i used to be scared shitless for Chucky! I was scared exactly by the very first movie! I didn't know the name, i didn't know that Chucky became to look so real, only a plastic doll that murders! Even if today Chucky is pretty low for other serial killers like Myers, Leatherface or Jason, i love Chucky!

I wish Hollywood would stop milking these franchises. I would just love a definitive ending to these movies. Wasn’t a fan of cult. But I hope they do the new tv show justice.

Fav scene was when Andy’s mom opens the battery slot on chucky back n the head spins around, ‘hi I’m chucky wanna play?!’ N it comes out sadistic as shit. That’s when daddy runs kids. That’s when daddy fn runs.

Catherine Hicks (Karen) and Kevin Yagher (Chucky's creator) met on set and were married a year later. Chucky's full name, Charles Lee Ray, is derived from the names of notorious killers Charles Manson, Lee Harvey Oswald (assassin of John F. Kennedy) and James Earl Ray (assassin of Martin Luther King). In the scene where Chucky runs behind Maggie in the hallway, Chucky was actually played by Alex Vincent's younger sister. The original plot idea was to have life-like Good Guy dolls that had blood and latex skin. If the kids tore the latex skin, they could go out and buy Official Good Guy bandages. In a blood-brother pact, Andy cut his own hand and mixed his blood with Chucky's, thus causing him to come alive and become human. In an interview, Don Mancini said in the original script, Child's Play (1988) was at first a satire on toy marketing and merchandising for children, before the idea morphed into a horror film instead. Originally the studio billed Chris Sarandon as the top star over Catherine Hicks, but Sarandon requested that Hicks be top billed, since he felt she carried the picture. Catherine Hicks won the Saturn award for this film. Chucky loses his right hand in each installment from the original trilogy. Body Count: 6 The original working title for the film was "Batteries Not Included" before it became known Steven Spielberg was also making a film with the same title. It was then changed to "Blood Buddy" before settling on "Child's Play".

I need to rewatch these movies, i remember them

I have a personal connection with this movie because my father lived in that building that the Barkley family lived in and I was there all the time as well. It’s a famous building. My mother reminds me of the character in the movie and I’m in a way Andy. So it’s kind of like watching me in that building having a single mom in Chicago during a similar year.
