Violence & Scariness. Graphic slasher movie violence: dead bodies, blood sprays, pools of blood, stabbings. A character's head is chewed up by a lawnmower. Bloody skull, disgusting severed head.
Parents need to know that Child's Play is a 1988 horror movie in which a doll possessed by a recently-deceased serial killer goes after a little boy and those around him. There are a few killings, the violence mostly of an unreal horror-movie variety (an electrocution victim gets charred and bloody, like hamburger).
The “R” rating from the MPAA ought to give you a good idea that Child's Play isn't going to be the best film for your ten-year-old's birthday party. If that isn't enough to dissuade you, I must point out that this film has some of the gooiest gore I've seen in a horror film for a while.
It took the reviewer two hours to regain composure from the film's emotional bombardment of graphic, explicit gore, violence, murder, and the accompanying sound effects. The message that comes through CHILD'S PLAY 2 is anti-child.
Violence & Scariness. (Warning: Some spoilers.) An unusually low body count relative to other horror movies (and later movies in the Chucky franchise), but Chucky still attacks and maims with a knife, a bat, even his teeth. Woman attacked with a hammer by Chucky before falling four stories to her death.
The film became notorious in the United Kingdom when it was suggested it might have inspired the real-life murder of a British child, James Bulger, suggestions rejected by officers investigating the case.
Child's Play isn't really scary but it's still great fun that's suspenseful and funny whilst also making a really dumb premise work surprisingly well. Katherine Hicks and Chris Sarandon are both great. Alex Vincent is really good and Brad Dourif is perfect as the voice of Chucky.
The film is filled with over-the-top violence and gore and is permeated with sexual innuendo. Characters curse, runaway from home, dress scantily, practice voodoo, have sex, and kill one another.
The writers decided not only to include a nude woman, but also doll nudity (Tiffany reveals herself to Chucky). Also, Jennifer Tilly wears a cleavage-revealing outfit the entire movie. Not only would I not recommend this movie for children or families, I would not recommend this film to anyone who is a movie fanatic.
The MPAA rating has been assigned for “bloody horror violence, and language throughout.” The Kids-In-Mind.com evaluation includes a few implied sex scenes, references to sex and teen pregnancy and several cleavage revealing outfits; many scenes of violence toward an animal and humans resulting in death in gruesome ways ...
The current rating system emerged in 1968, when MPAA chairman Jack Valenti replaced the earlier moral censorship guidelines, known as the Hays Code, with a revolutionary new parent-focused rating system.
In 1968 the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) established a system of movie ratings for parents to use as a guide to determine the appropriateness of a film's content for children and teenagers. The ratings system is voluntary, and there is no legal requirement that filmmakers submit their films for rating.
Parental guidance for movies began in 1968 under an initiative by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA). The first ratings were a little different than today. “G” was for general audiences, “M” for mature audiences. “R,” in 1968 meant no one under 16 would be admitted without an adult guardian.
In order to get Glen's soul into a human body, Chucky's semen is inserted by Tiffany into Jennifer so she can bear a child for Glen to use. As the two awake the next morning, unaware of the events of the night before, Jennifer suddenly experiences morning sickness and realizes that she is pregnant.
The movie's content contains every horror imaginable, including decapitations, violent stabbings and throat slittings, and machetes and axes being driven through skulls. There is also underage teenage drunkenness and illegal drug abuse, plus abundant foul language and extremely explicit sex and nudity.
This film is good with no adult scenes, so people of all ages can enjoy this film. But However, there are some things that are not suitable for children to watch because there are so many scenes that make children traumatized, especially violence, and scenes of murder.
Parents need to know that this movie contains lots of nudity and some sex, lots of foul language, and characters who drink and do drugs. There is also an ambiguous date rape and a brief racial slur towards the only black character in the entire movie.
There's lots of bloody horror, splattering blood, and scary images, plus some jump-shock moments, shooting, fighting, and dead bodies. A pregnant woman and, later, a small child are in jeopardy.
Banned in China: In the UK on 12th February 1993, two year old James Bulger was murdered by ten-year-old boys Robert Thompson and Jon Venables. Venables' father had rented the film a few months prior, leading the press to speculate that the boys had been inspired by its events. The film was banned in the UK until 2002.
Scenes of gory violence include a man's head being mangled in a lawn-mower and a limb being severed. There is also a scene in which children watch a horror film on TV, which includes the upper portion of a head being cut off and a chainsaw cutting through a torso.
Tons of slasher-movie violence. Stabbings, head smashings, bludgeonings, cars used as weapons, shootings, impalings, trapping someone in a fire. Mangled, beheaded corpses shown. Teens are killed, as is a young child.
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.
