One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

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

This sequel is mostly a retread of the original, although nowhere near as good. The main problem is that it's just mostly Chucky trying to transfer his soul into Andy. There are just so many dumb things in this movie. There's a scene where the police stop a woman driving Chucky somewhere and it's completely pointless. This is followed by a scene where Chucky is thrown out of the car. It's pointless too.In one scene, Chucky kills a teacher and it's literally never referenced again for the rest of the entire film. Apparently, no one's suspicious of a dead teacher. I guess the kid playing Andy isn't that bad and it does get pretty creative toward the end. In one scene, the girl Kyle is on a swing and accidentally digs up the other Good Guy doll Chucky buried. Why did he bury the doll under the swing where it could be dug up? It actually does progress the story a little bit, but it's mostly forgettable. **

The year 1990 was full of supersizes, one of them was batteries included.WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD!Tom Holland's original horror masterpiece Child's Play form 1988 had left an impact on the world of cinema. One thing was for certain, the world of children's play things would never be the same. Chucky, the killer doll would haunt the dreams and nightmares of children and adults everywhere. His red hair and blue bib would become infamous. His laughs and cackles would become haunting, and his signature vulgar vocabulary would become a siren of terror for all those around!After the success of the first Child's Play Hollywood was ready to cash in on the success and not too late. It would be a year and a half before that good guy that everybody fears would grace the silver screen again to cause terror and mayhem. The sequel to the the terrifying .The script was written by Don Mancini, the writer of the original script and the concept of the films. The main script for the secret was written mainly by Mancini but a small portion of it was written by the director of the sequel John Lafia (Man's Best Friend). The film stars some old faces and some fresh familiars. The main star is Alex Vincent (Cult of Chucky), who played the same character, Andy Barclay, in the first Child's Play. Another cast member is Christine Elise (Body Snatcher's 1993) who plays Andy's loyal friend and companion Kyle. Once again, the great and wonderful Brad Dour if is back as the titular voice of Chucky the doll.The cast also includes some wonderful character actor's. Gerrit Graham (Terror-vision, Phantom of the Paradise) plays Phil Simpson, the jerk- off of the film. Then there is Jenny Agutter (An American Werewolf in London) plays Joanna Simpson, Phil's Wife, who are both foster parents. Next we have Grace Zabriskie (Galaxy of Terror) plays Grace poole, the local orphanage manager. Then we have the real wench of the movie, Andy's 3rd grade teacher, Ms. Kettlewell, play by Beth Grant (Too Wong Foo, Donnie Darko).The film also stars many wonderful practical animatronics by the master of puppets, Kevin Yagher (Tales from the Crypt, A Series of Unfortunate Events). The chucky doll is back and looks better then ever. There are a few new modifications to the look of the doll. The puppetry is amazing and makes the doll seem almost lifelike. The eyes on the doll alone are haunting and ominous. The music was composed by Graeme Revell (Sin City, Pitch Black, The Crow). The Music in the film has that haunting child-like tone that made the first film haunting and creepy. The score is great and bigger in scope compared to the first.The film is very well done and still holds up. The film to me personally is one of the greatest sequels to a film ever. Unlike many sequels to not only great horror films but films in general this sequel works a lot. I love the acting, Its very 90's. Brad Dourif does a wonderful job voicing Chucky. The music within the film is creepy and wonderful. The music is wonderfully composed. Overall, the film works. The movie is great and true sequel, Now i cant say that about Seed, but we'll leave that for another review.Two Poly Urethane Rubber Thumbs Way UP!!!!

Chucky returns in the exciting follow up to Child's play where he still inhabits the destroyed body of the plastic doll waiting for the day he gets a second chance.Andy now resides in foster care while his mother seems professional help and the cop who helped them distances himself from the case.He meets a girl who warms up to the little guy and becomes a sister like figure. All seem to be going well when the geniuses at the factory reconstruct the doll to see where it all went wrong and allows him to pursue the boy he told his secret to.The logic shouldn't be applied yet I can't help point out why would a factory need to reconstruct the whole doll? Doesn't he have body parts stiffed inside and doesn't it belong in a storage locker.So far it feels like an info commercial for adoptive parents with the struggles and pressures that come with the job.All the adults seemed to be the true villain from Charles Lee Ray, the abusive stepdad and overbearing teacher while the kids are likable in some fashion. Don trying to convey that adulthood makes is bitter and cynical unlike the innocence of childhood?As it speeds towards the climax at the factory I found the use of creepy basement, closets and underneath cars an ingenious way to have Chucky sneak around from place to place without stretching his limitations. It even leads to some spooky kills that don't quite mach up to the first in the creative department and the catchphrases he'll become famous for.I have to say with my complaints that I still consider it a great sequel, fresh, exiting and had a killer ending where Chucky was melted like the wicked witch of west.Award 8 stars for the hard work placed in the script and production for the fans.
