The original (and best) entry in the Child's Play series is the most serious-minded (at least slightly) and grounded of the movies, and it goes out of its way to humanize its iconic killer Chucky—or the spirit within him, that of serial killer Charles Lee Ray—more than one might expect.
The film starred Catherine Hicks, Chris Sarandon, Brad Dourif, and Alex Vincent in his first film performance. Gunned down by Detective Mike Norris, dying murderer Charles Lee Ray uses voodoo magic to put his soul inside a doll named Chucky—which Karen Barclay buys for her young son, Andy.
I think most people agree that curse is the scariest. Chucky is in his most serious attitude and it has a classic haunted house stormy night vibe to it.
Unless Chucky got creative with booby traps or other tricks, Freddy would likely beat him in a direct battle. Which is to say nothing of a Freddy Krueger Vs Chucky battle in the dream world. He'd likely control Chucky like a puppet - ala Phillip in A Nightmare On Elm Street 3 - before melting him down.
“Yes, in a way [he was real]. I mean, some people have asked if he just playing them all along. And that was not my intention. I feel like if you watch closely, you can see that there are moments where Chucky has no reason to maintain an imposter as Good Chucky with Dr.
Child's Play is a 1988 American supernatural slasher film directed by Tom Holland, from a screenplay he co-wrote with Don Mancini and John Lafia, and based on a story by Mancini. It is the first film in the Child's Play series and the first installment to feature the character Chucky.
Weaknesses. Chucky isn't without his flaws, as he is known to be very impatient and rather arrogant. Chucky's Voodoo abilities only work under specific circumstances and have requirements for them to work. Despite being a doll, he has spent so long in his doll body that he has turned anatomically human.
Lots of wild death scenes, blood, and gore -- often played cartoonishly and accompanied by wisecracks from Chucky. Did you know you can flag iffy content? Adjust limits for Violence & Scariness in your kid's entertainment guide.
The character plays on the classic fear of creepy, humanoid dolls that enter the uncanny valley. What makes him so scary is his ability to blend into many environments seamlessly, the fact that most people wouldn't believe that a doll could be alive, and his persistence.
Before he became possessed by the Spirit of Charles Lee Ray — a serial killer better known as "The Lakeshore Strangler" — Chucky was just a harmless Good Guys doll.
Continuity. At the end of the first movie when Chucky is burnt, his left eye is there and his right is melted shut. But at the beginning of this movie, when they are cleaning him, his left eye is gone and his right eye is opened and there.
While Annabelle's inhuman qualities are what make her creepy, Chucky's cruel and sadistic personality scores him a win in round three. When it comes to what makes Chucky terrifying, there are several aspects to choose from. Whenever he talks or moves, the unnatural, uncanny valley effect is unnerving.
Violence & Gore (21) Chucky pushes a woman onto knives in a dishwasher; she falls and they stab her through her face and neck (bloody and graphic). A woman slices a man's throat with a knife. Very bloody.
Chucky made his first appearance in the 1988 film Child's Play. In the film, a serial killer named Charles Lee Ray, aka Chucky (Brad Dourif) uses a voodoo ritual inside a toy store to transfer his soul into a Good Guy doll to escape from Detective Mike Norris (Chris Sarandon).
I actually found "Child's Play" to be a very scary film. I did not find it too gory,but what gore there is it was done to heighten intensity levels to the extreme. All in all,I wholeheartedly recommend it to any open-minded viewer,who likes to watch horror movies. The hammer in the head scene still gives me goosebumps.
Our own history is littered with killers on par with the fictional Charles Lee Ray, whose name is actually a mashup of three real-life criminals: “Charles” is a nod to Charles Manson, “Lee” to Lee Harvey Oswald, and “Ray” to James Earl Ray.
He only became evil due to his sadistic desire to hurt and kill others, shown when his father was killed by the Hackensack killer, and decided to become just like him because he was inspired by the killers actions.

Before he can do it though, Chucky kills Ardmore, allowing Andy to escape the hospital. Andy makes it back to the apartment, but Chucky follows him.
