Child’s Play bubbles with entertaining bad taste.

If your humour skews towards the sick and twisted, then this box-fresh Child’s Play will give you one almighty kick.

Child’s Play is pure entertaining fun for the horror fan, but not much else. It doesn’t reinvent the wheel, nor does it offer much depth, particularly with its characters. While the cast is amiable enough, they’re mostly surface-level archetypes.

Child's Play is a passable but plain remake that's saved by a blisteringly bonkers third act.

The movie’s biggest strength is its balance between mordant humor and psychological fear.
