Editorial Review:

Horror maestro Tom Holland (Fright Night) brought wit and devilish energy to this 1988 scarefest about a murderer (Brad Dourif) who wills his soul into an innocuous doll named Chucky, and reveals himself only to the toy's owner, a frightened little boy. Catherine Hicks plays the child's mother, and Chris Sarandon a detective; neither of them knows what to make of the kid's story. Monster-doll stories are always wonderfully surreal, and Child's Play is no exception. Holland oversees some finely tuned special effects that allow Chucky to express himself and do some damage--it is truly unnerving but somehow good, subversive fun. --Tom Keogh

• PIRATE COPY
  l have bought of amazone quite alot things, but this DVD was rubish,
  it looked liked a pirated copy wavy lines, shimmering and every thing else that goes with this very cheap and nasty copy,
  we did watch it the film itself was very funny in parts, nothing realy frightening in it lots of blood but no police showed up ( must have been a coffee break) even though screaming in hospital, all in all l thought it very funny, maybe because l am 72 years old and it takes more than this film to frighten... more info

• The original and best
  The original chucky film and still the best. I first watched it when I was 9 and it was an instant hit. I recently bought it on DVD and I still think it's an old classic. It would have been great as a stand alone horror film, but childs play 2 and 3 and the bride and seed of chucky films were taking the whole chucky saga too far.

• The original and still the best
  All the films in the Child'splay series are great but the first one is the only one that actually scared me. Brad Dourif who does the voice of Chucky is fantastic, his one-liners are partly the reason the film is in my top 10 favourite films. Buy this now!
