WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

For his birthday, young Andy (Bateman) is given a gift from his mother Karen (Plaza): a toy doll by the name of Chucky. However, both are unaware that the doll is sentient after being possessed by the soul of a serial killer, and soon Chucky (Hamill) sets his sights on the mother and son as their latest victims…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

The original film that introduced the world to the killer doll Chucky is rebooted with brand new scares and twists, as well as the vocal talents of Mark Hamill as the evil toy himself.
