Child's Play
Child's Play | Andrew Neiderman

A chilling tale from the bestselling author of The Devils Advocate, a master of psychological thrillers (V. C. Andrews). They were four perfect little children. Alex had taught them well. They helped with the house, set the table for meals, and went straight upstairs after dinner to do their homework. They did as they were told. Sharon didnt miss the glances that passed between her husband and the foster children. From the day they arrived, they had looked up to Alex, worshiped him. Why, it even seemed they were beginning to act like Alexright down to the icy sarcasm, the terrifying smile, and the evil gleam in their eyes when they looked at her. Oh yes, theyd do anything to please Alex. Anything at all . . .

So my kid has been dying to see this movie. He loves Chucky so we sat down last night to watch. First: why the hell they would completely redo a classic horror franchise is beyond me. Remaking a movie is one thing-completely changing the storyline is just wrong! Second: that has got the be the creepiest doll ever created Third: still better than Seed of Chucky

Godpants The whole “this doll is programmed to be bad” is definitely less interesting than “doll possessed by the spirit of a serial killer.” But I thought it was funnier and gorier than I was expecting, and I overall enjoyed it. 4y
FantasyChick @Godpants it was definitely better than I had expected it to be but I think I had the orininal possession plot stuck in my head and the change just irritated me. I enjoyed it as a slasher but I would have enjoyed it more if I didn't know it was reimagined 4y

Just saw #ChildsPlay. It‘s unfortunate that it‘s campy horror in the sense that it has a thought-provoking premise at its core, a la Asimov, Eggers, King, and, perhaps most closely, Shelley. Most people won‘t get past the doll facade that brings about laughter 😕. I recommend seeing it. It‘ll make you laugh quite a bit, but in the end, I consider it a tragedy.

mydearwatson So that terrifying face was not what I expected to see when I opened Litsy 😳. 5y
madamereadsalot1 I went and saw Midsommer. Now that was an excellent and beautiful horror flick! 5y

kamoorephoto @madamereadsalot1 SO want to see that! 5y
vivastory @madamereadsalot1 I saw that a couple of days ago. I loved it. After Hereditary & Midsommar I think Ari Aster is creating the most original & insightful films about grief & identity. Unfortunately, it's a very polarizing movie & I don't know if a lot of people are going to "get it". 5y
madamereadsalot1 @vivastory I want to see Hereditary now, even though I'm certain it is going to scare the bejesus out of me! I agree with you on Midsommer, it's not a "traditional" horror movie & I think most horror fans won't receive it well due to its non-conformity. It is more aligned to fairy tale horror & I think that's beautiful, & far more disturbing than your usual jump-scare/slasher flicks. It's thoughtful & well done on every front. I want more! 5y
vivastory @madamereadsalot1 Hereditary really got under my skin. Midsommer really didn't, but I feel like both movies are definitely pushing the boundaries of so-called horror. Towards the beginning of the movie I was thinking "This actually reminds me a little of a Shirley Jackson story." I wasn't too surprised when they literally had a lottery at the end for the potential 9th victim ? For me the most interesting horror films are ones doing things diff? 5y
vivastory @madamereadsalot1 My other favorite horror movie this year was Us 5y
madamereadsalot1 @vivastory I've heard Hereditary is terrifying. I can read the hell out of some horror, but watching it is all together different! I want to see Us too. I definitely prefer horror that is more cerebral. I don't watch a lot of movies, but this year I've been doing more of it than usual. 5y
