Good premise. Good acting from Brad Dourif. It's really scary if you're a kid. Child's Play gave my brother nightmares for months, but he was five. The problem with Child's Play is it can be very scary for kids, but they're not the target audience, in fact, it's far too scary for them in their context. For adults, it's not so scary. The only Child's Play I really liked is Bride of Chucky, because it's smarter, funnier and sexier. All the others are good for traumatizing and boring or getting uncomfortable laughter out of grownups.
