Hey wanna B's haven't had much to write about since iron man 3 this past weekend. Last night I decided to watch child's play 2 off of Netflix. Yes the movie is from 1990 so it is more than a few years old but I had nothing else to watch, and nothing else to talk or write about so here we are.
It's funny how cheesy horror movies were back in the 90's and child's play 2 is at the top. I mean a puppet looking doll that comes to life and kills people while cursing is as cheesy as it gets. Still there is something entertaining about these movies that I just cant find in the horror movies of today. Now I don't remember exactly how the first one ended but I could have sworn the mother survived as well as the cop helping her and of course Andy the main character of the first three films. I guess things didn't work out too well after the credits as Andy is now being put into foster care and they pretty much think he's a messed up little kid who made up the story as a way of coping with the murders that took place in the original.
For some odd reason the company that makes the dolls that Chucky took possession of thought it would be a good idea to melt down the original doll and use the plastic to create a new doll. Now I know everyone is worried about global warming and we are all trying to do our part in recycling, but why even take a chance in using the old doll? Even during the reconstructing phase a worker is killed during a malfunction, yet they still go forward, I mean I'm not exactly superstitious but why take the chance? Oh wait, I know why, because we wouldn't have a movie otherwise, not to mention countless sequels equalling boatloads of cash since. Another thing that didn't really make sense was how easily the doll was able to find Andy once he escaped, he knew exactly what place to call and all he had to say was that he was uncle Charles and was looking for Andy and the lady gave up the information so easily, guess they didn't have confidentiality laws back in the 90's.
Okay so putting aside the stupidities of why people do what people do in these horror films, it was still relatively enjoyable for what it was. The doll itself is always fun to watch, maybe I'm a sicko, but watching a doll kill people in stupid ways while cursing and wise cracking is kind of entertaining to me, but I guess I'm not alone or they wouldn't have kept making these. The young Andy played by Alex Vincent is pretty good for his age, minus a scene where he's supposed to be knocked unconscious but you see his eyes constantly moving. It was a fun watch and is available on Netflix so didn't cost me anything to watch, I remember the third film being my favorite, but this one is still worthy of at least a one time viewing.
