Review of Child's Play (2019) by Compi24 — 25 Jun 2019
Surprisingly, refreshingly, and most assuredly, this 2019 remake of the eponymous horror classic (directed by Lars Klevberg, the filmmaker behind the deplorable horror film "Polaroid") is not only perfectly acceptable, but honestly pretty good.
A revisitation of narrative material that tries neither to completely replicate nor bastardize the original story in question, "Child's Play" offers just enough of the spirit and tone of the original without slavishly adhering to the exact story beats and offering nearly as many moments of fan-service that we've seen other remakes commit to as of late.
Yes, some of the puppeteering and design work is suspect, but the kills, performances, and visuals? Shockingly enjoyable. This is a tight, well-realized horror thriller with a great personality and a ton of laughs.
I honestly am stunned to say that I wouldn't mind seeing another.
