Welcome in everybody to this horror movie review.

We are reviewing the first Child's Play movie.

I'm excited for it.

I somehow have a feeling that maybe Dave and Jesse aren't super excited about reviewing this movie.

There might be some fisticuffs for this one, but before we get into the actual MMA fight, let's get a synopsis

from Dave here. Child's play, 1988 directed by Tom Holland. Gunned down by Detective Mike

Norris. Dying murderer Charles Lee Ray uses black magic to put his soul inside a doll named

Chucky, which Karen Barclay then buys for her young son, Andy.

When Chucky kills Andy's babysitter, the boy realizes the doll is alive and tries to warn people,

but he's institutionalized. Now Karen must convince the detective of the murderous dolls' intentions

before Andy becomes Chuckie's next victim.

tropes. My issue with this movie, and I'm going to come right out and say it, as I have issues with this movie,

is that it came out so late in the game of 80s slashes that this genre was already so watered down by that point.

We had Black Christmas in the 70s already.

We had two Texas Chainsaw movies at this time.

We had four Halloween movies. By the time this movie came out, we had two Texas chainsaw movies at this time. We had four

Halloween movies by the time this movie came out. We had four nightmare on Elm Street movies by the

time this movie came out. And we had seven Friday the 13th movies by the time this movie came out.

And this one didn't really change the game. They didn't really offer anything new. Sure,

it's a doll that hasn't been done before, but who cares? I think that makes

it less scary. The fact that it's a stupid little doll coming at you with a knife, just dangang-g-ng,
