Child's Play (2019)
Why call it Child's Play? That's not even Chucky!
I don't even know where to begin. This movie was not a "Child's Play" movie. In my opinion, it was terrible in so many ways. There was not a single connection to "Chucky" with this doll, and it being possessed by Charles Lee Ray, which was the biggest flaw because that's what made Chucky in the first place. Real Chucky was possessed by a human evil spirit and had a real human feel to him. Shouldn't have even named this movie Child's Play, give it another name because this dude isn't Chucky, just some clingy, goofy AI doll. His voice is nothing compared to the original. Not having Brad Dourif and Chucky's real voice was a huge let down as well. Then the whole AI thing made it a different type a film altogether. Going with the robot smartphone app doll instead of human spirit which is the real Chucky was a slap in the face to the true Child's Play franchise. The doll looked lame. It wasn't funny or scary. I am surprised we didn't walk out of the theatre. Even watched the original Child's Play when we got home to get rid of the horrible taste.
Annabelle Comes Home (2019)
Great tribute to the real Lorraine Warren. RIP.
I had absolutely no idea that the real Lorraine Warren died just a few months before this film was released. She passed on April 18, 2019, at the age of 92. This was definitely a nice tribute to her. Introducing Ed and Lorraine's daughter (Judy Warren) in "Annabelle Comes Home" made this film reach a different level. This film is very refreshing by taking the possession, the terror and the horror to Warren's home where the doll resides with just about everything else that's evil. It created a new atmosphere and presented us with the "haunted house" type feel. It was intense and quite the ride when things got going. The story was decent. The acting was decent. And the scares were decent. It is a decent installment to the Annabelle/The Conjuring franchise. Again, great tribute to the real Lorraine Warren. May you join and rest easy with Ed now. This film also marks the directorial debut of Gary Dauberman, who was involved with "The Nun" and the "It" remakes. adaptation and its upcoming second installment, now introducing the teen hungry installment of "The Conjuring" universe and actually delivering. Overall, "Annabelle Comes Home" is a good film that I would see again with the other Annabelle and Conjuring movies.
