Child's Play (1988)
Directed by Tom Holland
4.0/5EXECUTIONER "ACE"87 minQuick Hit
Child's Play plays like a blade-forward slasher—playful, mean, with enough style to make the damage look beautiful.
Full Take
Child's Play leans hard into slasher energy, and Tom Holland keeps the tone playful without letting the movie drift. The craft is sharp, the mood is nasty, and the pressure keeps building until the whole thing snaps. It may not be for everybody, but it definitely has teeth.

I actually agree with this take. It’s not perfect but it definitely delivers in key moments.
Kinda mixed but I get the appeal.

This didn’t really land for me overall, but I can see why some people like it.

There’s a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.
