Something happened to horror movies in the 1980s, the origins of which can be traced a few years earlier, to “Halloween” and “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre”: The villains in brutally violent slasher movies became the heroes — or, at least, the characters audiences found themselves rooting for — which in turn created the opportunity for franchises, where these virtually unstoppable killing machines came back in sequel after sequel, like some kind of recurring nightmare, to wreak more havoc.
Remember the disappointment you felt that Christmas when Santa brought you an off-brand Cabbage Patch Kids counterfeit when you asked for the real thing? Well, if you grew up on the “Child’s Play” movies, then brace yourself for more as the same, since Buddi’s expression is wrong, his glimmering-LED eyes look wonky, and no child in his right mind would want this creepy robot as a toy.
This would be a very bad idea for a couple of reasons. First, the deaths are genuinely disturbing and unbelievably gory : one guy gets the top of his head chewed off by a heavy-duty garden tiller, and another winds up straddling a table saw.
After a customer returns a malfunctioning doll to the megastore where she works, Andy’s mom Karen brings the broken Buddi home to her son, who makes a few wisecracks about how he’s too old to play with such a toy. This is the new normal for horror movies: The screenplays have to seem hipper than the premise they represent, which puts “Child’s Play” in the weird position of pointing out and poking fun at all the ways it fails to make sense.
