Child's Play (1988)

The first film of the long running series sees Good Guy doll Chucky, possessed by the spirit of serial killer Brad Dourif, terrorise a mother and her son in their apartment.

For an introduction it's a fun film. Entertaining but i guess formulaic but it's a formula created by this series so it's difficult to be critical. It's not particularly scary nor suspenseful but it is enjoyably entertaining.

Amusingly Fright Night's Chris Sarandon has gone in two years from chasing kids round a mansion as a vampire to being chased round an apartment as a cop by a doll.
