Either you’re supporting the original Child’s Play films or the reboot, which is weird. It kind of made you feel like you have to take a side.
I saw some comments where people were refusing to see or acknowledge the movie. And I think that’s why people were upset by the 2019 reboot, more so than something like the Texas Chainsaw reboot.
I respect all he’s done and appreciate it when there’s one overarching vision for a franchise. I know some people weren’t thrilled that they were doing this remake without Don Mancini since he’s been with the franchise from the beginning, creating the character and directing some of the movies. So when they announced a reboot or a remake, I really didn’t have a horse in the race. I think I saw the first five movies by the time I was a teenager but thought they were kind of goofy. I saw the 2019 Child’s Play movie and wanted to talk about how it fits in with the franchise, if, in my humble opinion, it should continue, and let you know where I’d place the film in my Chucky ranking. Hey Jack, I’m back! And with me, another speed art.
