video review : Child's Play 3

Last time it was his new foster home. Now; eight years later but not even a year in real life; Chucky follows Andy to military school. That concept; putting the two in such a random setting; distracts from the simple but effective horror story Child’s Play began as. Never mind the fact that Andy isn’t even played by the same actor from the first two movies and is metaphorically replaced with an annoying black kid.

video review : Child's Play 2

If you’re going to cash in on the success of Child’s Play, you have to do it while its star kid; Alex Vincent as Andy Barclay; is still young and cute. It’s two years later; the theatrical premiere comes on the exact same day; and Chucky’s back, still trying to take over the boy’s body but this time at his new foster home.

This sequel, like RoboCop 2; another recent movie based on a man trapped in a man-made body; pales in comparison to an original that should’ve been left alone. Some of the plotting doesn’t even make sense; Andy acts afraid of Chucky yet seeks him out in a dark basement; even for a horror flick about a killer doll.
