Child's Play 2

Chucky, the serial killer who transferred his soul into a doll comes back again more horrendous and disturbing than ever in “Child’s Play 2,” released in 1990. At the end of the first movie, Andy set Chucky on fire and his mother shot his head off. However, he is resurrected in the sequel after being reassembled by the makers of the doll as evidence for court.

Just a recap, Chucky is not the typical doll that everyone played with in the 80s and 90s. The manufacturer called this line “Good Guy,” a line of children’s talking dolls with the slogan: “We want you for a best friend.” However, Chucky becomes an irregularity, stubbornly finding his former owner, Andy, who now lives in a foster home. Chucky wants to transfer his soul into Andy’s body, so he can be back in a human body.

At the start of the movie, the film utilizes a lot of foreshadowing. Like when Andy’s new foster parents, played by Gerrit Graham and Jenny Agutter, they almost have a car accident with a truck, which happens to be a “Good Guy” truck. When Andy arrives at his foster home, he sees a closet full of toys, including a Good Guy toy. Andy ends up running into those toys until the real Chucky arrives to kill him.

The actual Chucky, or Charles Lee Ray as he was before, follows Andy to his new school, and sneakily scribbles a misogynist word towards his teacher, played by Beth Grant, while the children are at recess. When the teacher sees that on Andy’s paper, she gets infuriated and keeps Andy after school. When the teacher leaves the room and locks the door (what kind of a teacher does that), Andy escapes by climbing out the window, and Chucky hides in the closet. When the teacher returns looking for Andy, she opens the closet, only to have Chucky murders her while doing the evil laugh and shouting swear words left and right.

As Chucky continues to hunt Andy so he can transfer his soul to Andy’s body, he sickeningly kills anyone who gets in his way. As any child would be, Andy is scared because Chucky keeps showing up, trying to take over his body. You could probably predict by now, but Chucky does kill Andy’s foster parents. They blamed Andy for every accident such as the breaking of their antique statue and saying Andy is traumatized when he told them about Chucky.

Chucky does meet his end at the end of the movie when he is broken apart in the Good Guy factor where it all started, as you might have predicted. In case you’re wondering, or probably know, this is not the last one as they were already working on “Child’s Play 3.”

This is an atrocious film that is definitely going to have children and a handful of adults’ nightmares. Movie Guide stated in their review, “It took the reviewer two hours to regain composure from the film’s emotional bombardment of graphic, explicit gore, violence, murder, and the accompanying sound effects.”

Movie Guide goes on to say, “The message that comes through ‘Child’s Play 2’ is anti-child. As Chucky admits tellingly: ‘I hate kids.’ However, the message of the Bible is directly opposite when Jesus says, ‘Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them: for of such is the kingdom of God’ (Mark 10:14).”

Don’t bother watching “Child’s Play 2,” if you do not want your IQ dropping. If shows how society’s ethical way of thinking have gone out of control and twisted.
