RELATED: New 'Chucky' Trailer Promises a Classic Coming of Rage Story Subsequent episodes, as Chucky becomes the Chucky we all know and love, become more enjoyable - here is something adorable about watching him play video games with a young autistic girl, then invite her to come with him to kill her sister. He doesn’t do any of that until the very end of the first episode, which was frustrating as hell. Admittedly, the episodes got better as they went along (I watched the first three), but the first episode was difficult because you know who Chucky is, and you are just waiting for him to start talking, start creeping, start killing. Unfortunately, there isn’t a lot else to like. I get damn near giddy whenever Chucky speaks, because Dourif’s voice, his tone, his speaking style, is so iconic that he just is Chucky.
Brad Dourif returns to voice Chucky and he hasn’t lost a step. I am glad they didn’t try to make it digital. Chucky comes “alive” as a ventriloquist act with Jake, and humiliates mean girl Lexy ( Alyvia Alyn Lind). He takes the doll with him to school the next day to protect him from his father, but while at school, weird things start to happen that could be Chucky, but we never get to see him do anything… until the school talent show. Jake checks eBay and finds that Chucky is quite valuable.
That night, his father fights with him and tells Jake he is done with the dolls. It is while searching for dolls at a local yard sale that he comes across Chucky. Jake Wheeler ( Zackary Arthur) is a 14-year-old outcast who wants to be an artist like his deceased mother, and is currently working on sculptures using doll pieces, much to his alcoholic father's disapproval. In 2019, the franchise got a Mancini-less remake, but now, in 2021, the original creator of Chucky is back to oversee the doll's way to the small screen.
Six sequels followed: Child's Play 2, Child's Play 3, Bride of Chucky, Seed of Chucky, Curse of Chucky, and Cult of Chucky, all written by series creator Don Mancini. The Child’s Play franchise began in 1988 with the original tale of a Good Guy doll who is possessed by the spirit of serial killer Charles Lee Ray - when Charles is mortally wounded, he uses voodoo to transfer his soul into the doll and continues his evil ways.
