Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
Horror maestro Tom Holland (Fright Night) brought wit and devilish energy to this 1988 scarefest about a murderer (Brad Dourif) who wills his soul into an innocuous doll named Chucky, and reveals himself only to the toy's owner, a frightened little boy. Catherine Hicks plays the child's mother, and Chris Sarandon a detective; neither of them knows what to make of the kid's story. Monster-doll stories are always wonderfully surreal, and Child's Play is no exception. Holland oversees some finely tuned special effects that allow Chucky to express himself and do some damage--it is truly unnerving but somehow good, subversive fun. --Tom Keogh

- terrible
If the film were better executed, even James Bond would have hidden under the floorboards. However it wasn't. It was excruciatingly banal.

- I wouldn't called this movie a classic but It's very good movie
This may contain spoilers I've Already see Child's Play 2, 3 and Bride of chucky before I saw this movie. It starts of with cop Detective Mike Norris chase The serial killer Charles Lee Ray through the streets of Chicago & into a toy store where Ray realises that having been shot so he performs a Voodoo ceremony that transfers his soul into the a 'Good Guy' doll

Andy want good guy doll for his Birthday after seeing the Advert then Andy is disappoint when Karen didn't buy the good Guy Doll. Karen is going to buy a The Doll after work, Then her Friend tell her she can get much cheaper Price and then she buy it, which happen to be the one that Charles Lee Ray transfers his soul into (A little silly).

- PIRATE COPY
l have bought of amazone quite alot things, but this DVD was rubish,
it looked liked a pirated copy wavy lines, shimmering and every thing else that goes with this very cheap and nasty copy,
we did watch it the film itself was very funny in parts, nothing realy frightening in it lots of blood but no police showed up ( must have been a coffee break) even though screaming in hospital, all in all l thought it very funny, maybe because l am 72 years old and it takes more than this film to frighten me.

Rating:

- The original and best
The original chucky film and still the best. I first watched it when I was 9 and it was an instant hit. I recently bought it on DVD and I still think it's an old classic. It would have been great as a stand alone horror film, but childs play 2 and 3 and the bride and seed of chucky films were taking the whole chucky saga too far.

Rating:

- The original and still the best
All the films in the Child'splay series are great but the first one is the only one that actually scared me. Brad Dourif who does the voice of Chucky is fantastic, his one-liners are partly the reason the film is in my top 10 favourite films. Buy this now!
