The film series originally started out as straight horror with the first installment Child's Play, which appears to have more psychological horror elements, while the next two installments are straightforward slasher films with elements of dark humor. It also won a Saturn Award for Best Horror Franchise. Including revenues from sales of videos, DVDs, VOD and merchandise, the franchise has generated over $250 million. The first, second, and fourth films were box office successes with all of the films earning over $182 million worldwide. The film has spawned six sequels, a television series, a remake, comic books, a video game, and tie-in merchandise. The original film, Child's Play, was released on November 9, 1988. The films mainly focus on Chucky (voiced by Brad Dourif in the original films and television series, and Mark Hamill in the reboot), a notorious serial killer who frequently escapes death by performing a voodoo ritual to transfer his soul into a "Good Guy" doll. I am rating this 2021 series a well-deserved seven out of ten stars.Child's Play (also known colloquially as Chucky) is an American horror slasher media franchise created by Don Mancini. Visually then "Chucky" is a joy to watch, as it is every bit as bloody and gruesome as the movies, and has all the wonderful witty banter from Chucky. I have nothing against gay, but it just becomes sort of a drag that is has to be forced in to be as politically correct as possible. Yeah, even in here, you have teen gay romance. I have to say that it is sort of wearing thin that everything that is churned out from Hollywood now needs to please that whole Woke movement. The storyline told in the 2021 series is good, as it is a mixture of the old classics and spruced up with up-to-date contents, for better or worse. And the series also have the likes of Jennifer Tilly, Devon Sawa and Lexa Doig on the cast list, so that was quite nice. And it was such a thrill to have Brad Dourif return to do the voice of Chucky, as there simply can be none other to voice that psychotic murdering doll. Especially since it is so much in tune with the spirit and the essence of the original movies, and let's just completely forget about that abysmal 2019 remake. Needless to say that I had to watch it, as I have seen all of the movies in the franchise and always found the movies enjoyable. I have to admit that when I stumbled upon this series, then I hadn't actually heard about it being made, so it was a surprise to find this. Especially if you enjoyed the original "Child's Play" movies.
This 2021 series "Chucky" is such a blast.
