Original writer Don Mancini stated in an interview that his original script toyed with the audience a bit longer, making them wonder if young Andy was the killer rather than Chucky. This idea was used by Kevin Tenney in Pinocchio's Revenge (1996). See more »

I have recently been watching back through the Chucky films to get ready for the remake. When you watch the original now you expect it to seem quite silly and to look bad, but unlike other classic movies Child's Play still holds up to this day, wether it's the great acting, the story or the fantastic special effects! This is one of the best horrors out there still to this day. Chucky's movements look believable and again still hold up even though this film was released in 1988, the actors are very believable and do a superb job at portraying their characters and it is still a fun watch. To sum it all up Child's Play is a classic and wether you have or haven't seen it before I highly recommend watching or re watching this movie. 8/10
