But considering what we’ve got now, the Chucky movies that already exist are a solid example of a series managing to perform admirably, even in the least rewarding of circumstances.
MGM’s new Child’s Play reboot will obviously take a different road than the more supernaturally inclined franchise that spawned it.
Let’s hope this new reboot universe takes that very lesson to heart.
In time, we might even see how Mark Hamill’s Chucky stacks up to Brad Dourif’s original, not only in performance but also in how their cinematic universes differ.
