Child's Play 2 Audience Reviews

Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Darth-Helmet 2 years after Andy Barclay (Alex Vincent) was attacked by his Good Guy doll Chucky (Voiced by Brad Douriff) and traumatized by the murders that happened. His mother backed up his killer possessed doll story in court and is taken away to an institute leaving Andy in foster care until his mother recovers, a nice kind couple named Joanne and Phil Simpson (Garret Graham and Jenny Agutter) adopts him and takes them to their humble home where he meets his foster sister Kyle (Christine Elsie) and befriends her. The burned destroyed remains of the Chucky doll is taken in by the Playpals company especially with CEO Mr Sullivan (Peter Haskell) to see that there is nothing wrong with it as it's just an ordinary doll and they rebuild him from scratch like brand new and gets revived. Chucky is once again on the loose killing off anyone that gets in his way to transfer his soul into Andy.A thrilling and exciting sequel to the 1988 horror classic is a sequel that surpasses the original! after the success of the original movie by United Arist, they greenlighted a sequel with David Kirschner who produces the series/created the Chucky doll along with writer Don Mancini who wrote the original movie as the sequel was put on hold by the studio when it was about to be acquired by Australian studio Quintex who decided in their best interest is not to do horror films. Various studios from Paramount, Fox, New Line Cinema, Carolco, Warner, Columbia and Touchstone Pictures but Kirschner turned it down so he can independently produce it and Universal bought the rights.This movie is directed by John Lafia whom did co-wrote the original movie's script does a great job directing this movie and this is Don Mancini's finest script besides the original and the Fitting Punsihment episode of Tales from the Crypt. The Cinemaphotography by Stefan Czapsky is very beautiful and crisp and has good style to it and we get to see what is behind the popular within the film's Good Guy dolls line known as Playpals toys and who is behind this. The kills are quite creative even the special effects/puppetry/make up effects by Kevin Yagher are even better than ever than the original as Chucky looks the best in this installment. I love the chemistry between Kyle and Andy as if they were actual siblings as they bonded and even talk to each other even have fun together doing choirs to swings and all that as i really like that for it felt quite realistic.The film co-stars Grace Zeberkinsi and Beth Grant and i love that climax set in the Playpals toy factory that is quite thrilling and edge of your seat excitement. This movie was a box-office hit and did very well for Universal and is very loved by fans to this day even me.
swilliky Chucky (Brad Dourif) returns for a new horror in the sequel to the frightening classic original. Andy Barclay (Alex Vincent) has been put in foster care as the original story proved too crazy for the authorities. The toy company tries to cover up a PR nightmare by finding out what happened, rebuilding the Chucky doll in the process from the remaining eye. The evil killer takes his first victim by electrocuting a dollmaker. Andy is fostered by Joanne (Jenny Agutter) and Phil Simpson (Gerrit Graham). He still has terrible trauma and the sight of a Good Guy doll terrifies him. Chucky murders the toy company executive Mattson (Greg Germann) and discovers where Andy lives.Chucky destroys another Good Guy doll and replaces it with himself but he causes trouble for the two foster kids. Andy bonds with Kyle (Christine Elise), a young woman about to be out of the Simpson's foster care in a year, over their shared punishment. Chucky ties up Andy at night and attempts to take his soul but Kyle sneaks back in through his window interrupting the ritual. Phil is angry about the troublesome behavior and throws the doll in the basement. The evil killer sneaks onto the school bus the next day and messes with Andy's assignment. Andy's teacher Miss Kettlewell (Beth Grant) punishes Andy and locks him in the classroom. She throws the Chucky doll in the closet before she leaves. Andy escapes out the window before Chucky can break out. Check out more of this review and others at swilliky.com
punishmentpark This follow-up to the somewhat legendary cult film 'Child's play' still works pretty good as well. The story moves on where the last one ended, but unfortunately Catherine Hicks is no longer in the picture. Instead, there is a foster family with the best of intentions, but also a lot of doubts, who take poor Andy in. But Chucky is coming...soon!Christine Elise may be a sort of substitute for Hicks' part, being another (teen) child being taken in by the family. Chucky chases the children up and down the city again, and some horror scenes are pretty cool, with a fun finale in the toy factory.Good fun was had by all, once again. 7 out of 10.
Rickting Child's Play was a good horror film and Chucky is a cracking horror villain. Do we want to see more of him? Sure, why not? Do we want to see a complete rehash of the first film. That's a resounding no. Andy is now in a foster home, still affected by the events of the first film 2 years earlier. Unfortunately, the doll company rebuild Chucky in a typically unlikely and stupid horror movie plot point and Chucky goes after Andy again. The film has the same formula as the first: Chucky kills people and frames Andy for it, intending to transfer his soul into Andy. With a runtime of less than 90 minutes and a predictable rehashing of the plot points of the first, Child's Play 2 feels slight and more like an extended YouTube compilation of Chucky kills. Acting is better than one may think for a horror film. Brad Dourif is still excellent as Chucky, who is one of the best horror icons out there and Alex Vincent again puts in a good child actor performance. Another neat touch is his foster sister Kyle, who is a surprisingly good addition to the film.There are plenty of exciting moments, such as the finale in the Good Guy Doll Factory and Chucky can be quite amusing, but CP2 just isn't scary. There's no build up, no big reveal this time and Chucky reveals himself to Andy too quickly, showing a desperation to cut to the chase. The direction is nothing to write home about and the script is predictable, unimaginative and has various illogical and contrived moments. The film is gorier than the first, and horror filmmakers seem incapable of realizing gore is actually thoroughly tedious and this undermines the film as a result, contrasting heavily to the suspenseful and patient approach of the first film. CP2 gets boring very quickly, saved mainly by Chucky, who is a very good villain and an entertaining finale, although once again: Why. Won't. He. Die?!The soundtrack from the first isn't repeated in this one, and the film's main theme is less memorable. A watchable but lame horror sequel overall and apparently Child's Play 3 is even worse. An interesting comparison is the superior Halloween II. That succeeded because unlike this, that did something different, was actually scary and wasn't just about the kills.4/10
