Child's Play: Review

Is anyone ever going to make a really good movie about toys coming to life to kill people? Although better than Stuart Gordon's disappointing DOLLS (1987), CHILD'S PLAY too fails to milk the situation for all it's worth and delivers only half the chills it could have. Crazed serial killer Dourif is tracked down by Chicago cop Sarandon and is fatally shot in a toy store.

Tucci has already cast his buddy in Big Night and read more
