The new Child's Play is funnier, gorier, nastier, smarter, and more satirical than the original
) none has been able to capture the spirit of the original and push it into new discursive territory nearly as well as this new iteration of. It is a movie that alternates between making fun of its absurd premise and teasing out the horror of an app-controlling doll with homicidal tendencies run amuck. Thishas its cake and eats it, too, but not before plunging the knife in and out of it several times.
This time, instead of being possessed by a criminal who does black magic on the side , Chucky is an AI robot—something like a cross between Alexa and a mogwai. A disgruntled worker at the Buddi doll factory in Vietnam programs one particular doll to remove its “violence inhibitors” in order to stick it to his boss—that doll ends up in the possession of Andy after it’s returned to the department store where his mom works, Zed Mart .
The references alternate between blatant and sly. Andy’s red hoodie is a clear throwback to Elliott’s inhas an extremely ’80s sensibility in its early scenes of Andy bonding with a practical, non-human entity. Posters foradorn Andy’s neighbor’s walls, and as Chucky goes increasingly haywire and bodies pile up, there’s a sense of deadly mischief that I haven’t seen so giddily enacted since.
