There are some really cool, inventive death scenes in the movie. “It’s a darkly funny allegory about technology with awesome practical gore.” He’s only doing the bad things he does to help his friend Andy. Child’s Play actually makes Chucky somewhat sympathetic, which is interesting. Chucky is a little bit too helpful, misinterpreting what Andy says about the cat, and his mom’s boyfriend, and other things, and then taking matters into his own robotic hands. At first, Andy is annoyed by Chucky, but it doesn’t take long till they actually do become friends. Voiced by the one and only Mark Hamill, this buddy doll names itself Chucky, instead of Han Solo, which Andy wanted to name it (nice Meta Star Wars joke). At this point, I’m sure you can guess which Buddi doll Andy received. Out of guilt for Andy’s trouble adapting to their new circumstances, Karen gets Andy a Buddi doll that has been returned in a damaged box to her job, ZedMart. This is also how he meets his neighbor, who just so happens to be a police detective, Mike Norris (Brian Tyree Henry). Karen sees the struggles that Andy is going through when she finds out that whenever her boyfriend Shane (David Lewis) comes over, Andy’s not hanging out with new friends that he’s made, but hanging out in the hallway of the building playing games on his phone. Andy is a bit of a shy outcast and has a hard time making friends in their new town. We’re then taken to a nameless city where Karen Barclay (Aubrey Plaza) has just moved with her 13-year-old son, Andy (Gabriel Bateman). I’m sure a lot of people might think this sounds pretty cool, but in this version of reality, it ends up being quite the opposite. The Buddi Dolls can connect to the cloud and all other Kaslan products to help watch your kid and help out around the house. Buddis are made by a mega-conglomerate, Kaslan, which can be seen as a sort of a Google/Amazon type entity. In the 2019 adaptation, Chucky is just one of the millions of Buddi dolls. In the original Don Mancini/Tom Holland film, Chucky was possessed by the soul of a serial killer. I’m not one hundred percent sure if that’s what happened with Lars Klevberg’s remake mostly because it’s almost a totally different story. Then again, I think all remakes are bad in theory until I hopefully get proved wrong when I watch them. I didn’t think it was necessary to remake it. I was of the mind that if anything, the franchise should just keep going. Everyone’s favorite killer doll has been the subject of several different films in the same franchise, including my two favorites, Bride of Chucky and Seed of Chucky. NEW TO HULU REVIEW! I’m going to go ahead and admit that I was hesitant about seeing the current iteration of Chucky…uh I mean Child’s Play.
