Review of Child's Play

So here we go with a relaunch of the Chucky franchise, a moderately successful series of films based on the idea of a child's toy possessed by the spirit of a demented serial killer. This time things are updated to give it a, if the phrase can be used, more grounded approach of the basis of the murder spree being due to a technical glitch in a robotic toy, voiced by Mark Hamill. While the new concept and story basis is quite well handled, too much time is probably spent in creating a backstory for the murder spree so things do not really get going until the last third. Further the work on the back stories has sone inconsistencies, and potentially inventive ideas, that are for some reason never really developed. Some inventive killings means that for the horror fan it'll be and ok watch, but for most I believe it would be a disappointing experience.
