It has left a Good Guy-sized hole in the heart of thehorrorcommunity.

Yet, even with that,Childs Playwas a surprisingly fresh take on the concept.
That matches the original classics total and only trails behindBride of Chucky.
That beloved horror comedy made over $50 million worldwide.
Child’s Play is a 2019 remake of Tom Holland’s 1988 film of the same name. Instead of Chucky being a Good Guy doll, he is now a high-tech Buddi doll that becomes evil after a disgruntled factory worker disables his safety protocols and ends his own life. Child’s Play received mixed to negative reviews, and after Don Mancini released his Chucky TV show, any ideas for a sequel were shelved.
What’s the Childs Play Remake About?
TheChilds Playremake updatedChuckyin some pretty deadly ways.
Something that’s only becoming more and more relevant by the day.
While it never broke any new ground story-wise, the AI angle gaveChuckya sinister coat of paint.
The film also featured some great kills and a talented ensemble cast.
Alongside Plaza,Childs Playalso starredBrian Tyree HenryandMark Hamillas the voice of the iconic horror villain.
No one will ever be able to replaceBrad Dourif, but Hamill does a great job as Chucky.
Like The Joker and Hobgoblin before him, he brings a scary dark edge back to the character.
I’m Your Friend Till the End!
All three seasons of theChuckyseries are currently streaming on Peacock as well.
