Child's play (2019) - Review

#iamacreator

Karen (Aubrey Plaza), is a single mother who gives her son Andy (Gabriel Bateman) a doll for his birthday without being aware of the evil nature that hides inside him.

I will say that this reboot of the saga I like, contains many positive aspects and with arguments valid to make it a more colorful and “realistic” film, as well as entertaining, a film under the direction of Lars Klevberg and with the producers of 'It' (2018).

Quite a different version of the Chucky we're used to seeing. With a whole new story in terms of technology, it just gives it a good twist to make it a good remake overall. The appearance of the doll perhaps one of the weakest points because its characterization is more of the good-looking blonde boy that girls like, although it is a bit ironic to see that in this movie I liked the comedian Chucky much more than the murderer Chucky, because you don't take him seriously as a horror/macabre character although I don't think” frightening” or “rude” either.

Although that appearance of a good child changes with the deaths it causes, they are quite raw and with a dark humor accompanied by the occasional phrase of the doll that went very well for each scene.

The film keeps you attentive as it comes and goes, keeps the moments to be attentive, it does not go slow or very fast, it has very good tension scenes, personally there was a scene that I liked because of how raw it looks. Apart from this new version it has a little more logic since the doll is connected to a system and we can say that this makes it more realistic, it has a good introduction that attracts attention.

From the cast I can say that the performance of the one who plays Andy (Gabriel Bateman) is quite weak, almost forced, but despite not having a known cast it can be said that it is acceptable and good in a general setting, except obviously by Mark Hamill (Star Wars) who gives us the new voice of Chucky, and does it excellent, in fact the song that sings is very sticky. Maybe there are certain details at the end but the result is good.

In short, a good remake of Chucky for the current generation that is not bad at all, but which is not extraordinary either. But it's a well-made movie. PS: Recently a series about this famous toy came out, I hope to see it soon and give you my opinion.

Maybe you have seen it or not, but if not, I hope you will see it and share your opinion in this post.
