Childs PlayTom Holland directed ’Childs Play’, a horror film written by Don Mancini that released in the USA in November 1988. Childs Play is considered a cult classic in the horror genre and though it did average business it went on to spawn many sequels that include Child’s Play 2 and 3, Seed of Chucky and Bride of Chucky. Universal Studios acquired the rights to the film that had a huge budget of £4.5 million! The movie opened in 1,377 theatres across America and recovered £22,114,459 through worldwide sales. Childs Play revolves around Andy Barclay who wants his mom to buy him a ’Good Guy’ doll he has seen on TV. Since the doll is too expensive Andy’s mother buys a used one from a peddler for a much lower price. Unfortunately, the doll is possessed and has the spirit of ’The Lakeshore Strangler’ or Charles Lee Ray who just before dying in an encounter with the police transfers his own spirit into that doll by voodoo magic. Soon a lot of deaths take place ñ starting with Andy’s babysitter who gets thrown from the fifth floor. Andy’s life is in danger, as he knows that his doll Chucky is responsible for the deaths and Ray too wants to leave the body of the doll and possess Andy. |
