Child's Play (1988) REACTION!│FIRST TIME WATCHING!

[@marievjing]

Yeah one my favourite horror film & franchise and definetly my favourite slasher and this is why (sorry it's gonna be pretty long and also sorry for my bad english ^^) : -I watched this film when I was 8 and the good thing about it is I was able to identify myself as andy and the bad thing is I was traumatized for the reason that chucky is after this little kid and not just for killing him but for stealing his body. But the experience was incredible for my age to be like a main character of a horror film - The things that I love about these films is the originality of his slasher, normally a slasher like freddy, jason or michael are just killing people/teens but here chucky has a goal, he wants to have a human body again (pinocchio reference maybe ?). Also, each film of the saga is pretty differents as sets, tones, ambiences and environements that is rare for this category of horror films, I mean no offense for freddy and jason but honestly if you mix up all the films in their franchise I am unable to say which one it is (freddy always on the same street in dreams of teens and jason always on crystal lake killing teens in each movies). -the ambience of the film is pretty creepy, all the voodoo/black magic kind of think (like this scene on the appartement of ray) is ... I don't know feel very insecure and disturbing sometimes. Honestly, I never was afraid of dolls (and I never will) but this film can scares me sometimes. -I also like the fact that is a human and not a demon because honestly what other creature is more unpredictible, cruel and savage than a human being especially a serial killer, just the idea of a serial killer in the same room of your little kid is frightening. Even the city has a creepy ambient with bad people as if that weren't enough with chucky -and what about the mindblowing effects, even today I can't understand how they managed to make chucky so real (1988 man), it's like he is really there, even the modern effects on the new chucky don't look as perfect as the first one. I'm always mindblowed that chucky is charismatic on almost every shots (normal & evil) They could have tricked us with shots where we don't really see him but you can tell they have the wish that audiences felt that they really had a possessed doll on the set -And this another important point, all the love and work put in the film, I mean it could be just another stupid plot for another stupid horror movie but all the artists gave all they got especially from the actors (I mean usually the actors of slasher films don't act so well) but here the mother who want to protect his son at any cost, the cop, andy (for me all the characters are endearing, I really don't want that none of them die) yes the acting is really cool. And wow this kid (The scene when he cries so heartbreaking and so real) "This IS the end, friend" BEST AND BADDASS TODDLER/KID in cinema (try to change my mind). Brad dourif is really killing it as chucky (Grima in the lord of the rings). I love the relationship of the mother/son (that they completly miss in the reboot by the way). - I don't know if you noticed during your reaction but the makeup for the doll change during the film (basically because chucky become more human) but that still creep me out and find it crazy that the production made so much work for this detail (and I'm not sure but I could swear that his face near in the end looks like the actor from the beginning brad dourif). Another detail that I like in this film is cleary the great intro, for his low budget I found that is very well shot and directed and unexpected (especially for a slasher film) it looks like a polar film and not a horror film and I don't remember another slasher film with such element, the other good point with this scene is the fact that you really don't know what's going on and you directly know who chucky is. Usually, in others franchise, you have to wait a prequel or some kind of thing to have a backstory but here no, the film don't bother to waste time to the spectator. Back when I was kid, I was like, Damn a psychopath is already scary but a psychopath with powerfull magic power and even the death doesen't stop him is even more scary -The music really kills it ! Mostly all the themes of the saga are good but the main theme is a masterpierce for me. I don't know if you noticed if not ... Searched child's play 1988 theme and enjoy yourself for 3 mins ^^ -Child's play reminds us that we don't really need something huge, intimating and buff like jason, the terminator,etc to make a lot of damages on a lot of people, and scares us. Chucky is small but ... Another fact that making chucky so scary is the fact that he is mostly invincible and you can't kill him except if you destroy his heart. -The fact that chucky can torture and kill you without touching you is really disturbing (the voodoo doll scene with his master). This scene always got me and if you wonder why john has a voodoo doll of himself is because we only think that a voodoo doll is to hurt someone but in the folklore, a voodoo doll can also heal for the injuries, illnesses so that's probably why he had one of him -We will have to wait for having backstory of charles about his old kills and how did he learn the voodoo magic when he was alive because we never had the answers but apparently his backstories is gonna be present in the upcoming TV show in 2021 -The second one is my favourite but be aware that it wasn't make to be an horror/thriller like the first one, it is more an entertaining and fun film (probably because they can't reproduce the surprise and the suspens that we already had with the first contact of the chucky character) but it is really enjoyable for differents reasons. Now that the producers know they have a funny and charismatic character with a very talented voice actor. The only downsides is that only alex vincent (andy) came back but the cop couldn't but strangely the actress who played the mom was maried with the practical effects maker and so the crazy thing is that she was on the set of the second film sometimes but she couldn't play his role so .. We lost 2 cool characters. Again, sorry for the super long comment XD I hope that you will react to the others films very soon ^^

[@_willandjack]

Thank you for your comment! I loved reading it. It's great to see how much you love this film! I really enjoyed watching it! I can imagine how relatable this film would be watching it as an 8 year old. Thank you for pointing out the make up change on the chucky doll as well, I didn't even notice it! Such a cool detail to include. We are 100% going to be doing the other films in the future!

[@maxtonfletcher8436]

@Eduardo Roy Try flixzone. You can find it on google :)

[@ishaancurtis620]

@Maxton Fletcher yea, I have been watching on Flixzone for months myself :)

[@eduardoroy7428]

@Maxton Fletcher thanks, I went there and it seems like a nice service :D Appreciate it !!

[@maxtonfletcher8436]

@Eduardo Roy No problem =)

[@MartinHCollection]

That fireplace scene was traumatizing for me as a kid... and it´s still pretty awesome now. His face change... gee...

[@_willandjack]

that face change was insane!

[@JosephRGrych]

@@_willandjack That was awesome! I remember watching this in the theater back in 1988. Great fun--and actually horrifying (and horrifyingly funny). It looked amazing and it held up well. The audience alternately screamed and laughed.

[@Streak09]

@@_willandjack was some parts edited he puts a bullet in charles chest after charles uses his last bullet.

[@spikejr3113jr]

The child actor was not traumatized from these movies heck he even appeared in them now grown-up.

[@jameyperez9547]

That's why I'm watching on Syfy the entire Marathon of all 7 Chucky movies on SyFy today

[@tripkingdrip666-cashaura5]

Has a tv show in production right now and will be playing on syfy and usa

[@DeltaAssaultGaming]

My favorite of the series. This one actually treats it seriously and doesn’t play it for laughs.

[@peterwilkins507]

Chucky doesn't talk much though tbh

[@peterwilkins507]

That's why there's no comedy

[@andyd3447]

They used very complicated animatronics for chucky in the first movie. They actually invented a lot of the circuitry involved. Its pretty amazing.

[@TheSYPHERIA]

A. No the house wasn't a model, they just blew up a house. B. No one would ask the kid about being alone on the train, maybe nowadays, but in the 80's no way, and even now probably not. Kids that live in big cities like that sometimes have to take city transportation and yes people would be concerned for him but at the same time, it's not that uncommon to see a small kid going to school.

[@MasterBuilderDragon]

Mom: *shoots Chucky’s head off* Chucky: ‘Tis but a scratch!

[@WittyKittyRitzy]

But watching this as a child..... traumatizing. I grew out of dolls real quick 😂

[@NikkieTwix]

The way he comes to life is so impressive to me, not even for the time period because the newest Chucky movies looked like crap compared to this 😂 the first 4 are the best imo

[@blkluv100]

"What kid would want that", hello, this was based on an actual doll called "My Buddy". Google the commercials.

[@BIFC216]

Now buddi is a movie and good guys are really available for purchase see how times change

[@sagittarius420cheefie]

That's exactly what I was thinking , my buddy and Kid Sister. LOL!

[@sagittarius420cheefie]

@Amir Hanton Annabelle was a real cursed all too, even crazier is like a ton of kids has that same Dog rolling up. It was Raggedy Ann and Andy.

[@QuackMamba34]

Fun fact- Brad Dourif didn't originally voice Chucky. He did the live action scene as Charles Lee Ray. Then he went to film another movie. A woman named Jessica Walter voiced Chucky originally. They had a test screening and it was terrible and the voice sucked. They then went back and had Brad Dourif record all the dialogue as Chucky.

[@bicboyjoy]

I could be misremembering, but I believe for the scene where chucky blows up Eddie's hideout, they actually blew up a house that was slated for demolition

[@donkfail1]

"Brad Dourif ... who plays the best character in 'Lord of the Rings'" Hey! He plays the best character in every movie he's in.

[@suck_my_wang4155]

I remember first watching this when I was 5 ( I know young) but me being the weird kid I loved it so much and I still do I all ways watch all of them with my nan but it sucks because my older brother also watched the when he was little and it really effected him and he could sleep normally or even see anything related to it for three years

[@karinatanjung801]

Classic Child's Play is awesome. BUT 2019 CHILD'S PLAY IS HILARIOUS. Sometimes I enjoy watching it for laugh and entertainment 😭😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@feliciakidd9358]

Great reaction! I first saw this film in 1989.

[@louiedajet]

That was an actual building. Chicago is full of condemned abandoned buildings that are cheap

[@NikkieTwix]

Brad Douriff was in One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest

[@HoldenTudiks81]

I remember watching this when I was a kid .

[@Tarzana24]

Child’s Play & The Others are my fave horror movies.

[@_unhaunts]

im super excited for the new chucky tv show coming in october 12 on syfy :D

[@kyle3554]

watch the other child's play movies too they're really good. especially 2, bride and curse.

[@ClassicVHSHorror]

My favorite horror movie! Great video!

[@jayb.2649]

Creepiest horror like Child’s Play and Candyman you notice the killer isn’t reveal until like a hour into the movie.

[@louiedajet]

Both are from Chicago too

[@myfriendisaac]

YESSS for the Malibu Stacy reference 🤣👍🏾

[@jillk368]

Chucky was actually a person in costume.

[@Gottahave_Faith.]

Both human and animatronic

[@slyfoxcaleb6688]

Yes

[@IDyce88]

Iconic CLASSIC Horror/Slasher series: Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, Scream, Saw, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Child's Play, Jeepers Creepers. The Reeker was pretty good too but that came along later so i don't really consider it CLASSIC.

[@pizzalosviernes1722]

A lo mejor es porque van iniciando y por eso no hay mucho gente suscrita, pero dios, este canal es genial.

[@NeythonSaavedra]

Please react to all the Chucky movies they're great if not I'll just please react to the second and third one

[@MegaBadgeman]

8:21 Well deduced Sherlock.

[@thebaddestbitch7167]

I HOPE YOU GUYS FINISH THE REST OF THE SEQUELS YOU GUYS ARE FUN TO WATCH I LOVE YOUR REACTIONS.

I read the chant was in Hatian creole.

[@Scollywood]

It's crazy how 155 people like u. Not in a mean way. Like it's just cool

[@_willandjack]

😂😂 it is crazy

[@Mx.RumpusParable]

Omg, I never realize Humperdink is in this!!

[@thebagy]

Can you imagine a bad guy in a gun fight against police but going only one on one with just one cop? Cheesy

[@trent5816]

Watch child’s play 2. It’s even better

[@_willandjack]

we 100% will

[@kissthesky9969]

That dude did an awesome episode of the xfiles. And you should check him.out in the last exorist. With George c scott. Good shit

[@thomashodge5896]

Was this the director's cut?

[@_willandjack]

it was the copy on amazon prime. seeing as its the only copy ive seen im not sure 😂

[@backpackmatt]

This is the director's cut. There were a few deleted scenes, but unfortunately they were destroyed. There's also an alternate beginning in which Chris Sarandon is dressed in drag. If you look closely at the very beginning of the film, you'll notice he discards a piece of clothing while chasing Charles Lee Ray down the alley.

[@Scollywood]

Nice video. 155 subs! Nice

[@dameinparker7636]

Are You Gonna React To FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S MOVIE FROM LAST YEAR (2023)???

[@mrmonkey35]

My name is Charles 5:48

[@Carmelmen1]

Love this movie!

[@jackmance741]

Yeahhh BOI

[@cupofcait]

Super late to the party but as a kid who grew up/lives still in Chicago the idea of Andy on the train was always insane to me...BUT I will say most of our trains are elevated and not subways so I guess slightly less confusing for a kid to navigate than it would be in other cities? I don't know. Plus he has Chucky telling him where to go. But the idea of a small kid on the El without a parent and nobody bats an eye or says anything is nuts lol

[@allen-licious6894]

At least react to the first sequel. It's commonly agreed upon that child's play 2 is slightly better than the first. In my opinion it's the best.
