Apparently, next year, they're remaking one of my childhood staples.
That's right. They're remaking the original Child's Play.
So...my first reaction is dread. But then I thought about it a little more, and I wonder if this might be a NECESSARY remake.
Child's Play (1988) and Child's Play 2 (1990) are both pretty decent. But they certainly have their flaws. For example, they both have really low body counts. And then they made Child's Play 3 (1991) which was just terrible, and the whole series went comically downhill from there. The only good things about Bride of Chucky are that John Ritter is in it, and you get to look at Jennifer Tilly's hot ass.
And then Seed of Chucky? Are you kidding me?
So I'm reading about this new remake, and imdb says:
"Instead of making a sequel to follow Seed of Chucky (2004) as originally intended the producers decided it was time to return Chucky to his horror roots instead of the comedic side which took control over 'Seed Of Chucky'. The only way they felt this was possible was to "reboot" the franchise with a remake of the original that was darker and scarier than even the original had been."
I think this is the only way to go, you guys. I can't handle another fucking stupid sequel of this franchise. So while part of me is disappointed, another part of me is kind of excited to see what they'll bring to the table. And Brad Dourif is once again doing the voice of Chucky, so that's pretty awesome.
Oh, and I might finally get a quality Good Guy doll like I've always wanted!
So what do you think? Is remaking Child's Play necessary, or unnecessary?
