Child's Play (1988)

We all know the story by now…Lakeshore Stranger Charles Lee Ray is trapped and cornered in a toy shop after being fatally wounded and invokes a voodoo incantation to transpose his soul into that of a “Good Guys” doll. 8-year-old Andy inherits said doll and creepy shit starts to hit the fan (everyone blames the kid, of course). You can probably tell by now that I really love these kinds of movies; whether it’s living dolls, animated puppets or little creatures, I eat all that shit up. This is probably one of the most competently made of the genre and actually holds up better than I thought it would.

  1. Watched it again last night. It's been years. You're right, it really does still shine. Brad Dourif is so damn evil good!
