Chucky – Die Mörderpuppe (1988)

Chucky – Die Mörderpuppe: Directed by Tom Holland. With Catherine Hicks, Chris Sarandon, Alex Vincent, Brad Dourif. A single mother gives her son a much sought-after doll for his birthday, only to discover that it is possessed by the soul of a serial killer.

“This movie starts out pretty slow with a killer named Charles Lee Ray doing voodoo magic to put his soul into a kidu0026#39;s doll. After that it starts to get slow and generic even with the killer doll with things not making much sense (and I am not talking about the Chucky doll thing either). But when Chucky starts his sinister cacklying and cursing that he is known for the movie does pick up. The build up to that point isnu0026#39;t that bad though and I can understand why they had to go in that direction at first. It does add a sense of mystery even if the audiences does know what is going on from the start. The trademark Chucky voice really does add flavor to this slasher. As a matter of fact I wouldnu0026#39;t be shocked if Heath Ledger was inspired by Chucky for his role in u0026quot;The Dark Knightu0026quot; now that I think about it. Itu0026#39;s cool to see Chucky not going on that unstoppable killer slasher direction, he uses stealth and pulls tricks to kill someone. Plus whenever found, he could just act like a regular doll. Which actually does adds to making him quite a dangerous and sinister killer. This does not have a lot of blood and gore, nor does it have a lot of body count but it does have entertainment value for a horror slasher movie. Overall this is a slasher movie that had a lot of cool and new elements to work with when it came to the direction at the time. And itu0026#39;s understandable how Chucky became one of the most memorable killer villain from the 80u0026#39;s. Thanks to Brad Dourif signature voice as Chucky.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e8/10”
