No one believes the truth…or lives to tell it.
A boy and his doll.
Plot of Child’s Play (1988)
After being shot in a toy store, a serial killer transfers his soul into a Good Guy doll. A mother then gifts it to her 6-year old son Andy, which unleashes terror upon the city.
General Audience Vibe
Child’s Play (1988) is warmly remembered by fans as a cult horror favourite and iconic genre piece, admired for its unique killer-doll concept, tension-driven suspense, and memorable antagonist.
While some viewers see it as cheesy or slow compared to modern horror, many others celebrate it as a must-watch classic that still delivers thrills and entertainment decades after its release.
My Take on Child’s Play
One of the best horror films to come out of the 80s, and one of director’s Tom Holland’s best films.
The doll is convincing and the back story is incredibly 80s – in a good way. Along with a great cast and stellar performances, especially by Andy (played by Alex Vincent).
Totally worth watching… over and over again.
