Child's Play 2 (1990) Reviews

Member Rating:

A derivative rehashing of its predecessor (which itself owes a heavy debt to Trilogy of Terror), this sequel details the plight of young Andy (Alex Vincent), who in the previous film narrowly escaped losing his soul to make room for devil-doll Chucky (voice of Brad Dourif). Possessed by the spirit of serial killer Charles Lee Ray, Chucky had coveted Andy's body as a replacement for his own plastic shell... which ended up beaten and burned beyond recognition. At this film's outset, Andy's mom has suffered a nervous breakdown as a result of the prior human-vs.-doll battle, and Andy has been taken to a foster home. In the meantime, the makers of Good Guys dolls decide to reconstruct the scrappy little toy, hoping to prove the doll's harmlessness and sway public opinion. Alas, this is a major horror-movie no-no, and Chucky staggers obnoxiously back to life, with a renewed interest in body-swapping with Andy. Not awful as horror sequels go, this follows the standard horror-franchise formula (such as upping the gore quotient with each sequel) but manages to throw in a few appreciable scares, particularly at the climax (which echoes that of Stanley Kubrick's The Shining). ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

OK, the first cannot be topped, but the second one does come close. Chucky is back with all of his pent up lil man anger in this very freaky sequel. I cannot help but love this franchise (besides Seed of Chucky....GUH) because it scareed me like nothing else when i was 5 years old. I know, blame my mother for my early scarring as a child, but he is one of my favorite horror characters. If you want to finish off the series with mean scary chucky, stop at 3, but for a funnier lighter side, nothing better than seeing Chucky Get it on with his female counter part in BRIDE OF CHUCKY. But skip the transvestite gender challenged 5th movie Seed of Chucky, because its ridiculous and chucky should have killed its offspring in the womb.
