Review of Child's Play (2019) by Akshatmahajan — 01 Jul 2021

Child's Play (Child's Play Reboot) is of horror/ slasher genre but movie doesn't have any horror element. I don't know if director wanted it but the movie is sort of black comedy/ slasher movie.

Movie was not scary as the original but it was tense. The concept of modern doll doing weird things due to wrong programming is new take on doll doing weird things after being possessed by a spirit. Well, they tried their best to show the new concept but the execution could have been a little bit better.

Many original movie's fan are not loving this movie saying that it's modern concept was bad and movie was not scary. I agree movie was not scary but seeing that it was a reboot and had nothing to do with the previous running franchise, it was a good try. Atleast they tried something new instead of copying same old story. For original franchise fans, a tv series continuing story of cult of chucky and 9th part is also confirmed, so you can consider that this reboot is story of other universe. Overall, I would recommend it to everyone even Child's Play fans who didn't watch it.
