Child's Play (2019) Blu-ray Review

Child's Play (2019) Blu-ray Review

Story

Realizing that her son Andy (Gabriel Bateman) is lonely, Karen (Aubrey Plaza) buys him a seemingly innocent, AI-enhanced doll named Chucky. But Chucky’s safety restrictions have been disabled, and soon, a gruesome series of events unfolds. Unable to convince his mom that the doll is responsible for the carnage, Andy becomes the target of the blood thirsty Chucky!

Review

I know a few people took issue with the design of Chucky for this new film but honestly I didn't even notice too much after the movie settled in. This movie does use the evolution of technology to make Chucky much more sinister and dangerous this time around and I thought it was quite effective. If you're worried about the new school look of this Chucky, don't be, he's much more capable this time around to make up for it.

It did give me a lot of joy hearing Mark Hamill voicing Chucky, he was definitely that best part of this version of Chucky. Aubrey Plaza was also a pleasant surprise, I wasn't sure what to expect from Plaza with her trademark deadpan humor but she really fit well with the tone of this movie. Performances were solid all around.

The relationship that Andy had with Chucky felt a bit more realistic and believable this time around, Andy really came across as an outsider that was trying to find his place. My only negative takeaway from this relationship was that Andy was older than I expected but they counteracted this by making Chucky like so many other devices that teenagers like having around. This of course did make for some interesting scenes, especially when Andy starts king friends.

For those of you that love those gory scenes and over the top kills, you will not be disappointed. Maybe this Chucky doesn't look as menacing as older versions but the viciousness is all the same. Nothing is off limits as a weapon for Chucky here, his wireless capabilities give him access to almost any device.

This new iteration of Child's Play really does not follow the formula of the original, it definitely is more fitting in this modern era. I thoroughly enjoyed this new Child's Play and I think it is well worth a watch for any fans of the franchise.

Video

Child's Play is presented with a 1080p presentation in a 2.39:1 aspect ratio. This Blu-ray is one of my favorite dark presentations of the year. What I mean by that is that the majority of this movie is really dark, plenty of night time scenes that had great contrast and were not hard to watch. Anything from fabric textures to worn concrete looked sharp and exceeded my expectations from a Blu-ray presentation.

Audio

Child’s Play has a 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track that delivers a quality presentation. The dialogue in this track was clear and not lost in the background at all. Environmental scenes were mixed well, especially a chaotic sequence near the end of the movie. While this audio track might not be something to write home about, it does not take away from the movie.

Extras

• The Making of Child’s Play
• Bringing Child’s Play’s Chucky to Life
• Soundtrack Trailer
• Toy Massacre
• A.I. Mayhem
• Gallery

 Languages

• English DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and Descriptive Audio 5.1, Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1

• English SDH, Spanish

Final Thoughts

Child's Play is a solid horror movie and a welcome addition to the franchise. It does enough to separate itself from previous films and sets up an interesting sequel if it happens.
