Critics Consensus

Child's Play updates an '80s horror icon for the Internet of Things era, with predictably gruesome -- and generally entertaining -- results.

Fun but forgettable, worth a watch if you’re bored. Nothing bad about it, but it’s fun while it lasts and nothing more

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Alicia Bailon

The new Chucky movie was basically a remake with a modern twist. Instead of voodoo magic it refers alot to Artificial Intelligence.

I thought it was an amazing movie. I think the original childs play movie fans are to distracted by the fact that it's not like the original to enjoy it. great movie imo

I did not think I was going to enjoy it this much. I get the premise was to turn all the safeguards off for an A.I. Toy doll... but still, it could’ve been something different, maybe. And I get they didn’t want to repeat a possessed doll story, but regardless... it was well done. And I mean cmon, it’s Mark Hammil! Anything with him is Gold!

I think they made a lot of good reasons for this [remake] to exist.

Overall, this is a fun 90 minutes, if you are into this sort of thing.

Clarisse Loughrey

Independent (UK)

At the very least, it achieves the baseline desire of a horror reboot: it's fun, it's scary, and it doesn't trample all over a legacy.

Rated: 3/5

Keith & the Movies

In a nutshell it isn’t serious enough. It isn’t funny enough. It isn’t self-aware enough. Worst of all, it isn’t the slightest bit scary.

Rated: 2/5

Dan Bayer

Next Best Picture

A reboot that takes a big chance in actually updating the story in ways that make sense and offer lots of possibilities, but has so much else that goes wrong that the final product ends up being a wash.

Rated: 5/10

Deep Focus Review

Part cautionary tale about technological integration, part commentary on the destructiveness of youth culture, Child's Play does neither very well, but it's a worthwhile horror movie.

Rated: 3/4
