![]() The default facial expression on the doll looks like it is constipated. Why any kid would want a Buddi toy is beyond me. The first thing we need to talk about is the doll, itself. Wanting to make Andy happy no matter what, Chucky takes steps to eliminate anything (or anyone) that goes against that goal. He attacks Andy’s cat after it scratches him and soon begins mimicking the horror films that Andy and his friends watch. However, with his safety features off, Chucky soon develops troubling behaviors. With Chucky’s programming slightly off, he is able to act more like a small child than just a toy, giving him the ability to cuss, make “scary” faces and interact with other kids, who soon become Andy’s friends. At first, Andy is not happy with Chucky, but soon they develop a quasi-friendship. After making Andy his “forever friend,” the doll names itself Chucky, obviously still dealing with its glitches. ![]() Soon, it comes into the possession of Andy Barclay (Gabriel Bateman). Soon, the doll is re-packaged and shipped back to the U.S. After just being humiliated by his boss, the worker tasked with fixing the doll instead removes all the safety features in its programming. Returned as defective, the doll winds up in an overseas sweatshop. Unfortunately, this Buddi doll has had some issues, including not being able to connect to other devices. He locks onto the first person he sees when powered up, becoming their friend forever. Buddi even learns from his owners, controlling these devices for them based on his learned behaviors. Buddi is designed to interact with these devices as a sort of hub, allowing users to control these through the doll. The Buddi v1 doll that will become Chucky is a artificial intelligence doll from the Kaslan Corporation, which makes “Internet of Things” devices for homes, such as thermostats, televisions and tools. It’s almost like it follows the 80/20 rule, and sadly, good remakes fall into the 20 percentile.Ĭhild’s Play (2019) takes a new spin on the Chucky story. You can see it in my reviews and my video blogs on the subject. ![]() I have harped about it for many, many weeks. Let’s face it: Hollywood has gotten lazy. That is, until I got a chance to see the remake of Child’s Play. At no point in my life have I felt anything but utter revolting terror for this entity. A plastic evil that killed his equally charming girlfriend, stuffed her soul into a doll, had relations with her, and then killed her just before she gave birth to a gender-confused creature. A figure that started out with an unholy act of possession by a serial killer, evolving into a cult of followers who ultimately preyed upon a weak, wheelchair-bound girl to take control of her body. For the better part of the 41 years I have been alive, there has been one toy that’s very name inspires fear and disgust.
