It's premise is exactly right, channeling things like the movie AI and our modern environment with Alexa etc. Just at every turn it chooses to take a sledgehammer to the viewer. Things like Chucky learning to stab from the kid, stabbing a knife into a wooden bread board.

There are a lot of movies today based on killer dolls, but back in the ‘80s, Child’s Play creator Don Mancini was inspired by the Cabbage Patch craze. Seeing how popular the toys were and how the marketing for them made people go crazy, Mancini decided to make a “dark satire about how marketing affected children”. Mancini was also inspired by the L...
Horror buffs are pretty familiar with the origins of Chucky. Originally however, the script had a completely different premise. The movie was first called Batteries Not Included and later changed to Blood Buddy. The first script had a plotline about the dolls having realistic flesh that could rip and bleed like a human. Children would then have to ...
After writer John Lafia retweaked certain parts of the script, the people behind Child’s Play felt confident enough to meet with directors. Tom Holland initially passed on the project, but he eventually agreed to direct the film. At the time, Tom Holland was most known for directingFright Night. Before Holland signed on however, there were other di...
While Child’s Play is one of the most famous films featuring an evil doll, one element of the original film has always been odd: the voodoo. When Charles Lee Ray transfers his soul into a Good Guys doll, he uses a voodoo ritual to do so. It’s always been sort of a weird origin story, one that the filmmakers of the remake decided not to use. That be...
While animatronics and CGI are commonly used today, they were both up and coming technologies when Child’s Play was being filmed. The majority of the scenes were filmed with an animatronic puppet, but it wasn’t the easiest thing to use. It took 11 different people to control Chucky, with a different person handling each part of his body to his legs...
While an animatronic doll was used for many of the scenes, some of the more complex scenes were filmed using Ed Gale. The effect was pulled off by building the sets 30% bigger, but most people can still tell someone is behind the Chucky mask. Gale was also the actor to wear the Chucky costume when they had to do fire sequences. Each take with fire ...
Today Brad Dourif is most known for the role of Charles Lee Ray and the voice of Chucky. Dourif has voiced Chucky in every Child’s Play movie to date, except for this year’s remake, where he was replaced by Mark Hamill. Since the voice of the demon in The Exorcist had been by Mercedes McCambridge, Tom Holland thought they should go with a woman for...
The Good Guys dolls are advertised as being children's toys, so it would make sense to give the toy a theme song for marketing purposes like commercials. While the full song didn’t make it into the final cut of the film, Chucky did have his own theme song. Related: 10 Most Brutal Child's Play Kills, Ranked The song was composed by Joe Renzetti, who...
Ed Gale played Chucky for some of the more complex scenes of the film, while animatronics were used for the majority of closeup shots. However, Alex Vincent’s sister dressed up as Chucky to film one scene. She can be seen in the movie as Chucky when the killer doll is chasing Maggie down the hallway. It’s unknown why she was chosen, but it was like...
Tom Holland is mainly known for his work in the horror genre and actually has more acting credits to his name than directing credits. Tom Holland also appears in Child’s Play… sort of. Holland has two cameo roles of sorts, one being the host of the Good Guys program, but you can only hear his voice. Andy Barclay’s dad isn’t present in the movie, bu...

Child's play (2019) was a surprisingly good reboot: one of its best bits, in my opinion, was the "Buddi song" performed by Mark Hamill. Somehow it managed to make this version of Chucky both creepy and weirdly likeable.
