Watched the new CHILDS PLAY.
I'd kind of dreaded it a little bit...the originals were something from my childhood that kind of stuck with me, well, at least the first two.
I'd heard a lot of negative stuff about this one - and didn't have a great deal of interest in seeing it, but saw that it was on Amazon and figured I'd check it out.
I thought it was ok.
It's definitely not as dark/mature in content as the original was, and there was a bit more emphasis on comedy.
Fair enough, that didn't make it shit, just different in tone.
On its own I think it's some competent entry level horror, and maybe that's what worked against it in perception...that they made it kind of attached to this franchise that it barely resembled aside from "there is a doll of some description".
I thought it was funny that the machine seemed to enjoy taunting people a little bit as well.
It's...yeah as I said above...it's ok.
It's not a bad film, and while I don't see anyone thinking it was better than the original, I'd caution not to judge too harshly prior to seeing it.
It was not un-enjoyable.
My only issue...the thing I found missing, was the thing it did differently.
There was no actual personality...it was just a malfunctioning unit, with a few personality traits that were part of the same malfunction.
There was...just...not enough evil...
