So after 2 years we get Child's Play 2 which continues on the story of Chucky/Charles Lee Ray with his quest on trying to transform his soul into Andy's body! So after the events of Child's Play, Andy gets sent to a foster home (& later gets adopted by foster parents) while his mum Karen gets sent to a mental Asylum, while police however deny everything though the Play Pals toy company refurbishes the charred remains of Chucky, but all hell breaks lose & once again Chucky is hot on Andy's trail!I found this sequel to be better than the original slightly. I mean the deaths scenes where more creative & unique in this entry than in the previous. Making this sequel better then the first. I also found the story-line to be more interesting as well as the climax at the end in the factory, which was amazing! The blood effects & violence were there & kicked arse!The characters in this film had more depth in them too, & seemed to be a little more interesting.Overall slightly better than the first! 8/10
... View MoreThis movie was great because it knew exactly what it wanted to be,a fun slasher film.First,the good,the characters,just like in the first one they're well written,acted,and feel real.The kills,they were suspenseful and very creative.The music was great,and I loved the climax,it was very fun,fit the tone perfectly.Last pro,Chucky,he was hilarious,creepy,and you could feel all of his anger.Now the cons,I feel like the movie,well super fun,should've been slower,and it feels like a soap opera in some scenes in the beginning.My last con is that some plot holes were a bit too noticeable,and very stupid,just like in the first one.Child's Play 2 is a wildly entertaining movie with some pacing issues.
... View MoreThere isn't much of a story to "Child's Play 2" however. It's just the same as the first, with Chucky going after Andy, who is now staying with a foster family, once more. The body count is higher and there are some good kills. I've heard people complain about the 'silly' spanking death of the schoolteacher. Well, this ain't true. Chucky is actually hacking at her. If you look closely you'll see the blood all over the yardstick.Director John Lafia shoots the film with a bright, playroom color pallet with a higher quality film stock, giving it a more sophisticated sparkle. He's also fully aware of how silly the killer doll concept is and seizes the opportunity for a little bit of that self-aware, sometimes sarcastic humor seen in the later films. Graeme Revell usually does the most generic horror scores, especially in recent years, but surprisingly he gives Child's Play 2 the best score of the series. With a full orchestra at his disposal, he doesn't hold back on the action cues and even delivers a couple of pretty good themes. So much better than the rotten score to the first film and probably one of the best horror scores of the early 90's.Overall rating: 7 out of 10.
... View MoreThis 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.
