Child's Play (1988)
5/10
The Child's Play series is terrible. Not even genre fans will find much to like here.

I'm a hardened horror film fan. I've been watching all kinds of genre films since I was a child and would like to think that I could stand my own in a conversation with most any horror film fan. That said, the Child's Play movies are absolutely awful and I really don't see what even a genre fan has to enjoy from these films. I suppose the character of Chucky has become very recognizable but he is anything but interesting. Quite annoying actually.

The premise is ridiculous even for a horror film. The ending of the movie makes absolutely no sense and I have yet to find out why a group of adults can't figure out a way to stop a tiny doll from slaughtering them. It's not exactly intimidating. The one-liners are not funny and the movie is not entertaining. Watch if you must but it is perfectly acceptable to pass by this and all of its sequels.
