YOU STUPID BITCH, YOU FILTHY SLUT ARGHHH. I'LL TEACH YOU TO FUCK WITH ME!!
- Chucky, 1988
Review by Branson Reese

Apparently in an earlier draft of this it was left ambiguous if Chucky was alive or if it was the kid doing it. Honestly that sounds like a scarier movie but then you don't get Brad Dourif shouting "batter up!" and hitting a child in the back of the head with a wooden baseball bat. So ultimately I think they made the right decision.
Review by anika ★★★ 7

if my child greeted me at 6am with spilled milk and orange juice all over the kitchen and a smoking toaster i would not in fact buy him a $100 doll i would kill myself
Review by aliyah 1

no because best believe i would’ve put chucky’s ass in a blender
Review by cameron fetter ★★★★ 1

its funny how long they try to play the “is chucky alive or is this kid just cuckoo?” game when the first scene of the movie is literally brad dourif doing a voodoo spell to become a toy
Review by DeathBolt ★★★★ 2

"This is the end, friend"
Fucking got his ass
Review by Supreme Heavenly Reviewer ½ 8

Why didn’t the bad guy transfer his soul into something sick like an XBOX
