Six-year old Alex Vincent's must-have “Good Guy” doll, Chucky, is possessed by the soul of dead serial killer Brad Dourif and goes on a wisecracking murder spree to get revenge on the cop (Chris Sarandon) who put him away. A steady stream of standard scares is dragged from a thinly-stretched, formula slasher plot, thanks to panache beyond the call of duty from director Tom Holland. Novelty value and great special effects made this dummy run a big hit. Three sequels followed.

Good Old Chucky
Having pretty much grown up with the Childs Play movies i am of course a big fan.
Child's Play is a classic 'coming to get you' movie.
A murderer manages to transfer his soul into the rather scary looking Good Guy Doll. His mission is to then find a human into which he can transfer his soul forever.
He comes into contact with a little boy who then becomes the target for his new body.
People get killed along the way in scenarios which are humorous or just plain freaky (remember....it's a doll!).
The young boy must eventually defend himself against this doll in order to protect his own life.
My favourite part of this movie & all of the Child's Play movies that followed is the sometimes hillarious & gross ways of maiming & killing Chucky.
A must for fans of a bit of gore, a bit of cheese & anyone who likes Brad Douriff! -
