CHILD’S PLAY (1988) Movie Reaction - FIRST TIME WATCHING

[@RolyPolyOllieReactions]

Hi everyone! I didn't expect to like this movie as much as I did. It is such a fun filled thrill fest with AMAZING practical effects regarding Chucky. Somehow they managed to pull that creepy living doll off and I am amazed. I probably will not be watching the rest of the Chucky movies on the channel, however, I have heard they are good! Thanks so much for watching! Have a great day!! :)

[@unknownpassenger4025]

I reccomed AT LEAST doing a reaction to the second one. It's the best of the franchise IMO

[@MrParkerman6]

I second that. Second one is the best. Really The Child's Play ones are the best. You should react to the rest and now there is a show that just came out called Chucky that you could react to.

[@MARS0l]

You liked the movie so much but dont care to venture off in to the others? 🤔

[@zerolsr2228]

Fun Fact, The baby sitter in chucky was one of the Pink Ladies in Grease. The 1978 film. The detective is the voice actor for Jack from Nightmare Before Christmas

[@laustcawz2089]

@@zerolsr2228 Dinah Manoff was also in the movie "Ordinary People" & TV's "Soap". Chris Sarandon was also in "Fright Night" ('85), "The Princess Bride", "Dog Day Afternoon" & "Lipstick".

[@jillk368]

A lot of people don't realize that Chucky, for the most part, is played by an actor. His name is Ed Gale. He's 3'4". For some shots puppetry was used but primarily - - there's a real guy in that doll suit. He has quite a long list of IMDB credits too. Glad you liked it.

[@mikem9270]

Well for some shots yes but the vast majority of the movie it is a puppet/doll. In the second movie if I'm not mistaken they didn't require anybody to portray chucky

[@Multiiverseditz]

[@fyfyi6053]

This kid always looks like he's about to fall asleep. In every film reaction that he does.

[@fyfyi6053]

So I can't even tell if he "liked it".

[@MKF30]

This Tom Holland the horror legend came long before Spider-Man tom Holland was even born lol 😆 This movie also wasn't cheesy but realistic looking but I get why gen z kids would think this with the CGI they grew up on they don't understand the beauty of practical effects which to me looks way creepier and realistic than CGI honestly.

[@jillk368]

We all thought it was the doll. And yes, this kid, in addition to being pricelessly adorable, is also a powerhouse little actor.

[@Lapearla4]

It’s so entertaining to watch this younger generation react to 80s movies. Back in the 80s and 90s cars came with cigarette lighters built in . That’s what the cop burnt chucky face with 🥴

[@MrParkerman6]

Fun Fact: Chris Sarandon- The main Cop in this movie, Voiced Jack Skellington's SPEAKING voice in A Nightmare before Christmas, while his SINGING voice is Danny Elfman's.

[@hellohi821]

Chris Sarandon was also the prince in The Princess Bride (1987) and the vampire in Fright Night (1985).

[@dragonlynx9969]

It was a doll, an animatronic, and a little person in a suit. It's amaizing. Also, Alex Vincent, who played Andy, said he keeps the Chucky doll in the back of his car and creeps people out at drive thrus when the doll talks. 😂

[@channie4672]

I mean he is Andy after all lol he should have the doll demand chicken nuggets 🤣🤣

[@TheStormBolt-gf8qi]

Btw just to let u Know Charles Lee Ray AKA The Guy who was shooting the Guns Nick Name is Chucky not the doll

[@andyd3447]

People definitely connected with this movie but critics as usual didnt. This movie was amazing for its time. The animatronics were revolutionary.

[@kristopherwood7521]

Back in the 80s you could find My Buddy and Kid Sister to carry around. They sold pretty well.

[@mr-ampm4772]

23:11 Yes when Chucky transferred his soul into the doll it also transferred the strength from his original human body into the doll

[@rxtsec1]

This same director did what many consider the best vampire movie called Fright Night. Hope you react to that

[@LauraSnuggleBear]

There's a local around where I live that has a chucky doll smushed between the back window of his pickup truck and the metal grill that comes off the bed of the truck, at a distance it looks like a small child holding on for dear life lol

[@Partinaire]

Okay so i was lucky enough to see this in theaters, we all definitely knew the doll was alive. We just didnt know it was THAT alive. The whole entire theater was screaming and laughing, this guy sitting in front of us went "Damn that dollbaby cussed yo ass out!!!" One of my fave horror movie going experiences still, all these years later. FUN FACT! It was 6 year old little Alex Vincent's idea for the doll to be as strong as his human body, he told Don Mancini and Tom Holland "The soul has weight from power, thats why i think hes so strong." They finally addressed that on the season finale of the Chucky show on SYFY.

[@TheJokersCorner]

Child's Play is definitely a classic. Tom Holland directed the shit out of this film, as he does with all of his films. The thing I love the most about this movie is the setup to the Chucky mythos where the longer Chucky's soul is in the body of the doll the doll slowly starts becoming more human which is why the doll starts forming bad human translucent skin, a receding hairline and so on. They literally got to play with the design of Chucky throughout the entire film and evolve his look the further the storyline goes. The use of the animatronic, miniatures and enlarged sets for camera trickery and force perspective & not to mention the little person in the Chucky costume to show other perspectives of the doll are all tremendous! The sequels are a lot of fun and Chucky just gets more and more creative with his kills. And yes you'll learn more about Chucky's backstory. Enjoy the franchise! 😁👍

[@MrParkerman6]

@The Joker's Corner Way to not at all give The Writer Credit, yu jackass.

[@TheJokersCorner]

@@MrParkerman6 you've spammed this video with comment after comment & you call me the jackass? 😂😂🤣 You know I would have brought the writer up but considering that they had to rewrite the script multiple times because the script sucked and used to be called "blood buddies" & was a completely different project at the beginning... I'd rather give more credit to Tom the director who ended up honing in on the good qualities of a bad script, and helping do so much to liven up the film. Without Tom Holland it wouldn't have worked. But you should know all that anyways if you're a fan in the first place.

[@marievjing]

Child's play (1988) is such an underated horror classic but please react to the others chucky films on your channel ^^

[@finster1968]

Alex Vincent won this role because he refused to swear in front of his mom when auditioning. He wouldn’t say Chucky said Aunt Maggie was a bitch. Instead he ran out of the room upset. It was the right combination of talent and innocence the director was looking for!

[@EddBanshee]

Him: "I think he's dead for good." Me: "Child's Play 2, Child's Play 3, Bride Of Chucky, Seed Of Chucky, Curse Of Chucky, Cult Of Chucky, and the new TV show that's just called Chucky say different."

[@AspieMediaBobby]

Chucky was actually created by Don Mancini and Tom Holland. Brad Dourif played the possessing serial killer Charles Lee Ray and the voice of the doll post-possession. Then child actor Edan Gross was the "Good Guy" voice for the doll. Little person actor Ed Gale provided the movements for the doll.John Franklin(Isaac Chroner from the original and 6th "Children of the Corn" and "Cousin It" from the `90s "Addams Family" Films)also provided some stuntwork for the doll as well.

[@Laura-qi4fx]

Yeah chucky has the strength of a human man

[@krono5el]

This movie resonated hard with me when it came out, was around andy's age maybe younger also from the same city so i'd travel all over on the cta public transpo and recognized all those same stops. my ma would give me cta tokens to go to school and back but i'd travel all over the city to every end of the loop or to the pier and back. crazy times when little kids just roamed around the city alone like it was totally normal : P

[@mikem9270]

I was about 5 years old when I saw this movie. It scared tf out of me lol. There were so many good scenes that made me relate to Andy. I remember watching the scene where Chucky says "Give me the boy and I'll let you live" that line has stuck with me since I first watched it. Not only did I think if Chucky were real, no one would believe me, but if they did, would my parents give me up to save themselves? That was actually something that completely TERRIFIED me.

[@BlakeTheSnake]

Oh man my brother talked me into watching this when we were kids. I was scared for years.

[@QuackMamba34]

Brad Dourif played the guy at the start of the movie and voiced the doll.

[@melissaisloud7404]

The police detective in this is Chris Sarandon. He’s the voice of Jack Skellington. He’s in so many classics.

[@connorredshaw7994]

23 minutes in you asked if he has human strength in the doll. The answer is yes the more time he spends in the doll the more human he becomes he will have the same strength that he had in his human body before he died in the store.

[@Partinaire]

They finally addressed this in the Chucky show season finale thank goodness lol. He basically can give himself his original human strength whenever he feels like it. Don Mancini said that when they were filming the original, Alex Vincent gave him and Tom Holland the idea of "the soul having weight".

[@buffy17mike]

You should check out the movie "Dead Silence" if you don't like creepy dolls haha

[@fynnthefox9078]

The thing about Child's Play is that, yes, it is a pretty goofy premise. But everyone plays it straight like a slasher.

[@TerrellKRyans]

I'm a Die hard fan. It's scary but it's also funny @ the same time. You should also check out the series that just came out. You have watch the movie collection. This is just the first movie. Let me give you the list. Childs Play Childs Play 2 Childs Play 3 Bride of Chucky Seed of Chucky Curse of Chucky Cult of Chucky Remake of the first Childs Play You have to watch the TV Series.

[@TheDblDuce]

oh, another Halloween one.... From Dusk Till Dawn (Quinton Tarantino)

[@CarloisBuriedAlive]

There was one point when your baby yoda doll scared me when the movie screen went away lol I recommend Child’s Play 2, Bride of Chucky, Curse of Chucky, and Cult of Chucky (I think Child’s Play 3 and Seed of Chucky can be skipped tbh) but the brand new TV show is also fun and maintains the continuity of the entire series, so there’s a lot to explore with the franchise and I think you’ll have fun with any of it you watch even if it’s slightly out of order

[@shainewhite2781]

17:29, now he knows where the doll came from.

[@Userrr5879]

I know you said you will not watch the rest of them but I highly recommend you at least watch the second one it’s pretty good it won’t disappoint in my opinion

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks, Oliver! 🔪 I liked this one (and it was fairly popular back in the day). The sequels were mostly misses as opposed to hits for me... but when *Jennifer* *Tilly* joined the franchise in BRIDE OF CHUCKY (1998), that was a delight. And the current tv series is great! ❧ If you'd like to see another one with *Dinah* *Manoff* I recommend I OUGHT TO BE IN PICTURES (1982). #RolyPolyOllie #TomHolland #ChildsPlay #ChildsPlay1988

[@MLJ7956]

Great reactions dude....If you want to see the movie that inspired the first Child's Play film, then check out 'Dolls' (1986)...then check out the Puppet Master movie series (that was inspired by both 'Dolls' & 'Child's Play/Chucky'...the first 5 Puppet Master films are the best, then rest, parts 6-12 vary between good to meh but they are all entertaining nonetheless). 😁👍

[@MKF30]

Actually Don Mancini said that talky Tina, Cabbage patch and my buddy marketing of the 80s as well as trio of terror Zuni doll inspired chucky. I'm sure dolls was also inspired by talky Tina since she was the first killer doll that predates all of them but chucky is original in that prior to that we never had talking, walking, running around dolls that actually speak and makes conscious decisions on his own.

[@MLJ7956]

@@MKF30 - Tom Holland (director of Child's Play 1) said in an interview (sometime later on) that he first rejected the script to be director for the movie. He said he actually threw it in the trashcan because he thought it was a ridiculous concept...but later on that night he ended up watched the classic Twilights Zone episode 'Talking Tina', then the anthology made-for-TV movie 'Trilogy Of Terror' (which features a killer tribal voodoo doll) and then the movie Dolls (1986) which all came on afterwards on some cable station at the hotel he was staying at. Those three programs are what inspired him to re-read the script and take the job of director for Child's Play 1.. So it was 'My Buddy', 'Cabbage Patch Kids' (even Garbage Pail Kids which were humorous parodies of the Cabbage Patch Kids), 'Talking Tina' 'Trilogy Of Terror' & 'Dolls' were all inspirations for both Chucky and the first Child's Play movie. Also Tom Holland worked with Chris Sarandon in the film 'Fright Night' (which he also directed) and thought he would be great in this film, so he hired him for 'Child's Play' without a screen test.

[@MKF30]

@@MLJ7956 Yeah thats what I had said Don admittednin interviews for his inspiration for the look of the doll. The plot came from Tom Holland and yeah I know he worked with Chris in fright night prior to childs play. tom had a big influence on Don who originally wanted to do a story called "blood buddy" where the doll blues synthetic blood when mixed with Andy's the doll would come alive based off of Andy's dark subconscious and darker thoughts but that idea was scrapped when Tom convinced him not to do that and that it would sell. So he went with thr voodoo idea high was more of Tom's ideas. Fun fact besides that though Don wanted to also name it "batteries not included" but was already taken by steven Spielberg prior. So they came up with Child's Play. But yeah as far as inspiration Don said himself he was also very inspired by twilight zone, 80s marketing with the darker element to bring kids into it etc. His dad worked in the business of marketing so thats where he got that angle from as far as the play pals marketing element. The doll was everything I mentioned prior as far as the look for chucky or the good guy doll.

[@GenXCellent1970]

Just found your channel and love it. Getting to watch these movies that I know so well with someone who’s never seen it is so much fun. It’s like seeing it for the first time, and it doesn’t hurt that your just the cutest thing ever!!……and yes dolls suck.

[@gamesmoney1025]

There is actually a show called Chucky continuing the franchise. It was made last October and there is going to be a 2nd season. It's actually an amazing show.. you should watch all the movies first before watching the show

[@BigMac7629]

Yeah the series just came out with Tom Savini working on Chucky himself.

[@hellohi821]

You are probably right that the movie was creepy when we did not see Chucky, and we saw that he was running around and creeping up on someone. This is one of the movies that started off creepy, but once Chucky came alive on screen and began cursing and attacking, it became laughable. If you really hate dolls, try watching the movie "Dolls," 1986, and directed by Stuart Gordon: A houseful of dolls become killers.

[@codyclaeys2008]

I watched Childs play 2 at my older brothers friends house they thought I was gonna be scared but I was hooked loved horror ever since

Dolls are creepy. Killer dolls that chase you around the house, more creepy. lol Watching Child's Play reminds me (and probably a lot of people my age) of ...........When I was 9, "Made for TV" movies were still very good. One Tuesday night they had this movie on called "Trilogy Of Terror" (3 stories with the same actress). The first 2 were forgetful but the third one..OMG... "lady gets mini zuni warrior doll with spear and knife accessories" as a gift...and holy cow! You can guess what happens but I linked it..its 20 min. From the next day at school to weeks later we were still talking about how it scared the poop out of all of us kids. (we were 9 years old so we only said poop). It's cheesy now to watch but at the time it was terrifying and probably one of the "doll stories" that inspired Chucky and Annabelle etc.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/npvVYa2ffdyll9k In short... nope...don't like dolls.

Part 1 is my favorite chucky movie however most people think part 2 is the best chucky movie so you should atleast react to that one

[@shsrpr]

This movie and Freddy's Dead made horror movies palatable to me, as their slight goofiness mixed with the mostly practical effects made the gore and violence easier to take. Then Saw came along and turned me off of horror movies for good. I don't think any of the other Chucky movies are worth watching though, they get more and more campy and silly as they go along.
