“Child’s Play” (* out of four) was an inferior-in-every-way remake of the 1988 classic horror story about a single mother (Aubrey Plaza) who gives her son (Gabriel Bateman) a birthday toy doll named Chucky who is a sinister and sadistic maniac who becomes let loose on the city. With all the emotional power and voodoo/serial killer backstory of the original removed (and even the murder scenes dumb and poorly staged)- what’s left is one more routine killer-doll story and another dreadful remake that can’t even hold a candle to the original. Mark Hamill voices Chucky this time around but his grating and whiny vocals make you yearn for original voice Brad Dourif.
