Back of Box:
Nobody believes 6-year old Andy Barclay (Alex Vincent) when he says that "Chucky," his new birthday doll, is alive.
And when Andy's baby sitter is violently pushed out the window to her death, the boy tells his mother (Catherine Hicks) and
the detective (Chris Sarandon) the simple truth--"Chucky did it."
In this "clever, playful thriller" (New York Times), voodoo
and terror meet when an innocent-looking doll is inhabited by the soul of a killer who wasn't ready to die. Only young
Andy realizes that Chucky, who promises to be his "friend to the end," is responsible for the ensuing rampage of gruesome
murders. But the real terror takes hold when the deranged doll becomes determined to transfer his evil spirit to a living
human being!
Director Tom Holland, creator of the popular Fright Night,
"treats his audience intelligently" (New York Times) in this stylish trill-a-minute chiller co-written by Holland,
Don Mancini and John Lafie. Filled with startling special effects and heart-pounding suspense, Child's Play
will terrify you like no other film can. "Look out Freddy, here comes Chucky" (Boston Globe)!
