Two years after serial killer Charles Lee Ray (Brad Dourif) inserted his soul into a Chucky doll, a toy company attempts to re-create the doll, bringing Ray back in the process. The possessed doll, intent on claiming a human body, kills his way toward former owner Andy (Alex Vincent), who now lives in a foster home. Andy's foster sister, Kyle (Christine Elise), tries to protect him, but his foster parents believe Andy is just a troubled kid -- and Chucky's murderous path continues.

Time Out Only in the highly orchestrated, surprisingly gory climax, wherein Chucky's plastic form takes on the sins of the flesh, is there a spark of originality. Feb 9, 2006 Full Review Richard Harrington Washington Post An inevitable sequel that's not as good as its progenitor, but better than most movies with the numbers 2 through 8 in their titles. Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid The film is surprisingly well-shot with all kinds of strange angles and unsettling spaces, notably the toy factory where the climactic showdown takes place. Rated: 3/4 Jul 20, 2024 Full Review C.H. Newell Father Son Holy Gore Mancini has big things to say about capitalism aimed at kids, though they don't always come across as well as in other portions of the franchise. Rated: 3/5 May 1, 2019 Full Review Tim Brayton Antagony & Ecstasy In embracing its identity as a tacky horror movie, and totally scrapping the murder mystery angle that made the original so wobbly, it manages to be a darn sight more fun to watch. Rated: 6/10 Jul 9, 2011 Full Review Steve Newton Georgia Straight Too much effort went towards giving Chucky life in this film, while other things like the writing, acting, and direction were left for dead. Rated: 2/5 Jul 6, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews

Ryan H A rebuilt Chucky is looking to take over Andy's body, bringing the fight to Andy's foster home and the Good Guys factory. This is just another one of those people making dumb decisions to build suspense type movies, but Chucky's dialogue is hilarious. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/23/25 Full Review Thomas P A slasher sequel don't gotta be sophisticated . It makes with the stabby and it's fun to watch. Likeable characters . Sick nasty ending . Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/18/25 Full Review Jared E Overall I enjoy andy and the movie, I think the annoying thing is the amount of times Chucky can't be found and then pops up all of a sudden. It's an every 5 minutes type of thing... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/15/25 Full Review Khaliel P Released two years after the original, Child’s Play 2 builds on its predecessor with a bigger budget, sharper direction, and a stronger script that heightens the tension around Chucky’s obsession with Andy. The film cleverly justifies the doll’s return while expanding the horror with bloodier—yet not overly gory—kills, maintaining the atmospheric dread that defined the first entry. With smarter character choices, particularly Kyle’s, this sequel avoids the usual pitfalls of horror clichĆ©s and emerges as a well-crafted, suspenseful, and entertaining improvement over the original, ranking among the franchise’s strongest installments. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/23/25 Full Review Emil P Not as good as the first Child's Play, but kind of funny and entertaining movie. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/07/25 Full Review Stephen C Success in 1 hour and 24 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The USA grossed over $26,900,000.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ages 17 and older!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/16/25 Full Review Read all reviews
