Ardmore to monitor while they interview him. The detectives are called in again, and find Andy at the scene. He fires wildly at the noise, causing his house to explode.

Karen sends Andy off to school the next day, but along the way Chucky gets Andy to take him to Eddie's hideout. At first it seems innocent, but Andy adds that Chucky said, " Aunt Maggie was a real bitch and got what she deserved". Once the police are gone, she goes to check on her son, and sees him talking to his Good Guy doll. Karen comes home as they are talking with Andy, and angrily makes them leave. Norris suspects Andy may have something to do with it, as Andy's sneakers are the closest match to the footprints in the sugar. When she goes to clean it up, he grabs a hammer and hits her, causing her to fall out of the window to the ground below.ĭetective Norris and his partner Jack are called in to investigate the death, and to question Andy. He knocks over a bowl of sugar to get her into the kitchen. Chucky slips out of Andy's bedroom, and begins to scare Maggie.

On November 9th, 1988, Charles Lee Ray is chased down after a failed robbery, by detective Mike Norris. So here’s how I would rank each Chucky movie and where I’d place the 2019 film: 8.The ritual being performed by Charles on a Good Guy. I do wish it was more of a follow-up to the original series and got more of the love and budget that those original films deserve. That’s not to say it didn’t have some story issues, and I feel like the gore was too much at some points, but altogether I had a fun time watching this movie. I was able to separate it from the franchise and just enjoy it as a solo horror film. It could have just been a movie about a killer doll. There were enough changes where it didn’t need to be a Child’s Play movie. It didn’t dismiss what had happened in the Don Mancini films, but it did kind of exist in an alternate universe. And honestly, I thought the movie was pretty good. Why can’t I just like both? And that’s the mentality I went into watching the 2019 film. 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.
