Leave your thoughts about Child's Play.
| ESplatterLucius Gore'Child's Play' is one of the scariest movies ever. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasScary, yet darkly funny, this thriller of the supernatural from the director of the terrific Fright Night moves with the speed of a bullet train and with style to burn. The film is a stunner--in all senses of the word. |
| FulvueDrive-in.comChuck O'LearyAn inadvertently silly but effective shocker. Director Tom Holland definitely knows how to spin a scary yarn. |
| New TimesLuke Y. ThompsonA gem, with one of the best "sudden reveals" ever committed to celluloid |
| The A.V. ClubScott TobiasThe sequences without Chucky are as stock as they come, and so are all the flesh-and-blood characters around him, but he's still a hugely entertaining mischief-maker, and what he lacks in physical gifts, he compensates for in sneakiness. |
| The A.V. ClubAlex McLevyDirector Tom Holland keeps things moving along, turning the entire film into a pretty ruthlessly efficient scare delivery system. |
| El Pais (Spain)Ángel Luis InurriaIn short, it is a title... whose plot idea was worthy of greater efforts. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullFor what it is and the era in which it was forged, Child's Play is a solid scary movie. |
| Flipside Movie EmporiumRob VauxA deluge of wretched sequels has diminshed what was originally a nifty little horror film. |
| Dread CentralSteve "Uncle Creepy" BartonEven after twenty years, Child's Play shows no ring rust. The little flick plays just as well now as it did in its heyday. |
