Is this movie anti-copaganda, and clueless, preteen me never knew?! Maybe post-convalescence I’ll write an essay about the revelation, but for now, it’s just one more reason to fangirl Jennifer Tilly.

Come to think of it, another two police officers get offed before the credits roll. But what’s the use of sitting around bemoaning eyes that feel like pin cushions, when the police chief is about to get a face full of shrapnel. I think how, with this sight, I can’t even slice a zucchini or complete a large print crossword puzzle. My queen is unashamed and hella resourceful. Later, Jennifer resurrects her dead serial killer boyfriend using Voodoo for Dummies. She dispatches the “cat” with fishnet tights and a nail file. She cackles melodically, and I say the words with her, Curiosity killed the cat. When the crooked cop’s fingers itch to open the bag of stolen evidence - a pile of dismembered Good Guy parts - I hear Jennifer’s unmistakable lilt crackle through his cell phone.

The brightness of the screen is blinding, but I navigate Netflix anyway and listen to the scenes I remember so well from childhood. Those Child's Play movies are all available to watch right now, most of them even available on some of the most popular streaming services out there.If ever there was better casting than Jennifer Tilly as a homicidal, love-crazed baby doll with a heart of gold, I don’t know it. The Chucky series, for example, has some easter eggs and references for longtime fans, but just about anyone interested in the concept should be able to hop on and enjoy the ride.Īnd if you want to enrich yourself with some of that lore, well, you're in luck. It's easy enough to get into at just about any point, but there's enough history for longtime fans to feel like their time was really worth something.

It's not super complicated or out there, and, thus, it's easy to just pick up and enjoy from any given point.īut that's not to say that Child's Play doesn't have lore. The simplicity of the concept behind the Child's Play series-and it's antagonist, the foul-mouthed and wise-cracking Chucky, who was born as a real person named Charles Lee Ray, who became serial killer-is probably what's given it so much longevity. Where some other modern horror series tend to get distracted with B-plots and side-stories, Chucky knows what it's viewers want to see: tension that leads to scares and kills at the hands of its titular evil little guy. And the new series, Chucky, which airs on both SyFy and USA Network, does a wonderful job of keeping its focus on that simple but oh-so-juicy modified-slasher concept. The concept of the Child's Play horror franchise-now spanning 7 main series feature films, a reboot film, a TV series, and all sorts of assorted media from there-isn't super complicated.
