Despite a small role and this being a small part of the movie, much of Child’s Play’s iconography revolves around this scene of Plaza held captive. Images courtesy United Artists Releasing.
7/10 Child’s Play is everything you want out of a remake and a grossly satisfying slasher.
In a Vietnam sweatshop for the Kaslan Buddi, an artificially intelligent doll that can coordinate all of your Kaslan products on command, an employee disables one doll’s safety protocols in retaliation for being fired before jumping out of a window to his death. Later in Chicago, impoverished single mother Karen Barclay (Aubrey Plaza) keeps the defective doll after it is returned to the department store where she works as a gift for her son, Andy (Gabriel Bateman). The doll names himself Chucky (Mark Hamill) and, for a time, cures Andy of his post-move loneliness. But after seeing how much joy is brought to Andy by The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and how much pain by his mother’s suitors, Chucky begins a gory and gleeful homicidal rampage.
