I've never seen a Chucky movie before (though I'm certainly familiar with the character), so I had little in the way of expectations for what I expected to be yet another subpar horror movie remake in the form of
Child's Play. After all, 21st-century horror movie remakes, unless they're
Suspiria, rarely turn out well, as the likes of
Pet Sematary can attest while the peculiar decision to make a new Chucky movie while the original creator of the character, Dan Mancini, was doing his own series of separate Chucky movies really left a sour taste in my mouth. So color me shocked to report that the new
Child's Play remake, hailing from director Lars Klevberg, is actually a pretty well-crafted and fun enterprise!
