With equal portions of frolic and fear, Child's Play is a hilarious hair-raiser that is highly recommended for horror fans.October 21, 2008
Fun withers in stretching the thin material to feature length.January 01, 2000
Child's Play is a cheerfully energetic horror film of the slam-bang school, but slicker and more clever than most.October 29, 2013

The Child's Play series kicks off with this alternatingly silly and frightening installment...July 05, 2011
The things that redeem the film, at least slightly, are Dourif's nasty, insinuating vocal performance and Kevin Yagher's design of the Chucky doll itself.January 01, 2000
Director Tom Holland keeps things moving without rushing them. Unfortunately, Child's Play gets a little ugly at the end.October 01, 2013
