Child's Play (2019)

Andy receives a smart doll from his mother and it soon shows a bizarre and dangerous behavior.

A remake of a classic horror which upgrades the story to our current reality (artificial intelligence, addiction to technology, some giants' monopoly over the technology market). Chucky has not changed much and the motivation for his behavior is better positioned in the context of the real fears of a large part of humanity who expect Skynet to be an extremely probable reality. The team of actors perform ok and the story is imbued with a dark but kinda scarce humor, making the film better than one would expect, and although it's not too ..scary, it has a bit of gore that restores some balance.

Director:  Lars Klevberg   
With: Aubrey Plaza, Tim Matheson, Gabriel Bateman, Mark Hamill

Rating: 7/10
