I wouldn't called this movie a classic but It's very good movie - By: Mr. A. S. Bassi, 17 Nov 2008 
This may contain spoilers I've Already see Child's Play 2, 3 & Bride of chucky before I saw this movie. It starts of with cop Detective Mike Norris chase The serial killer Charles Lee Ray through the streets of Chicago & into a toy store where Ray realises that having been shot so he performs a Voodoo ceremony that transfers his soul into the a 'Good Guy' doll
Andy want good guy doll for his Birthday after seeing the Advert then Andy is disappoint when Karen didn't buy the good Guy Doll. Karen is going to buy a The Doll after work, Then her Friend tell her she can get much cheaper Price & then she buy it, which happen to be the one that Charles Lee Ray transfers his soul into (A little silly).
Karen goes out one night & leaves Andy with a Auntie Maggie who end being killed by Chucky but we see her death but they don't show chucky. Soon Chucky start to kill more people, Andy was found at the Crime scene again Mike Think Andy was part of the Murders then Andy tries to tell them that chucky is reallly but no one believe Him. When Karen gets home & Soon Find out that Andy as been telling the Truth,
Which we finallly See Chucky talking, Swearing & moving, this is where the movie shines with The car scene was Great & Creepy & The Voodoo Doll Death was favourite part of moving as it was hard to watch. I little disappointed with this as it start of reallly slow, we never saw chucky talk until 45 minutes in to moving after that scene the movie action packed until end,
I wouldn't callled this movie classic but It's very good movie, I would recommend it to any horror fan.
PIRATE COPY - By: W. Aitcheson, 01 Nov 2008 
l have bought of amazone quite alot things, but this DVD was rubish,
it looked liked a pirated copy wavy lines, shimmering & every thing else that goes with this very cheap & nasty copy,
we did watch it the film itself was very funny in parts, nothing realy frightening in it lots of blood but no police showed up ( must have been a coffee break) even though screaming in hospital, alll in alll l thought it very funny, maybe because l am 72 years old & it takes more than this film to frighten me.
The original and best - By: Hayley Jackson, 11 May 2008 
The original chucky film & still the best. I first watched it when I was 9 & it was an instant hit. I recently bought it on DVD & I still think it's an old classic. It would have been great as a stand alone horror film, but childs play 2 & 3 & the bride & seed of chucky films were taking the whole chucky saga too far.
The original and still the best - By: Langdon Ulder, 24 Mar 2008 All the films in the Child'splay series are great but the first one is the only one that actuallly scared me. Brad Dourif who does the voice of Chucky is fantastic, his one-liners are partly the reason the film is in my top 10 favourite films. Buy this now!
CHUCKY'S DEBUT AND ONE OF THE BETTER KILLER DOLL FILMS OUT THERE - By: stuart, 04 Nov 2007 Police Detective Mike Norris (Chris Sarandon) is callled to a toy store where serial killer Charles Lee Ray (Brad Douriff) is hiding. After a lengthy cat-and-mouse game with each other, Charles is apparently killed by a freak lightning bolt that almost destroys the entire store. The owner of the toy store (Alan Wilder) is concerned that the incident will ruin the reputation of the new toys that are slated to go on sale the next day. Norris assures him it will be fine, & leaves, unaware that one of the toys contains Charles' spirit inside. Young Andy Barclay, (Alex Vincent) who takes better care of his mother Karen (Catherine Hicks) than she does towards him, accidentallly buys the same toy doll for Andy at his insistence. As she goes out one night, she leaves Andy with a babysitter (Dinah Manoff) & the doll, Chucky, kills her in front of Andy. When Karen returns, she finds the babysitter dead & Andy begins telling her that Chucky was the one who did it. No one believes him, but there is no evidence to pin on Andy, so the whole incident is forgotten. More murders occur around the people Andy's friends with, eventuallly leading everyone else to believe that Chucky reallly did commit the murders. Enlisting Mike's help, Karen & Andy try to stop Chucky from transferring his spirit into Andy to make him human again.
The Good News: This is perhaps the one singular film that helped to kill off the popular doll phase in America, & for good reason. Chucky was absolutely terrifying. The best example of this simply has to be Douriff's voice for Chucky. That voice is absolutely scary. What gets me, though, just has to be that high-pitched laugh of Chucky's. That gave me the creeps the first time I heard it. There are also several key scenes in the film that have led to this conclusion. Towards the end, when Karen is with Chucky & she looks in the back & notices that his batteries are gone, she starts a fire & threatens to throw him in if he doesn't respond to her, & he comes alive & starts to viciously attack her. This is my overalll favorite scene in the film, & is quite scary when first seen. Chucky doesn't have his whole creative killing scenario yet, so here he simply resorts to the classic kills. There are a few stabbings, one electrocution, a strangling, & a pretty violent blow to the back of the head, which are pretty common in films if you look for them. The beginning, where Mike is inside the toy store with the human Chucky, along alll the corridors featuring Chucky dolls, being unsure of where Charles is hiding, is quite unsettling. The first kill, of the babysitter, is a personal favorite simply because of the setup. Andy is in getting ready for bed & presumably has Chucky with him, but for three or four times, the babysitter finds Chucky in the living room with the TV on. Getting mad at him, she threatens Andy to go to bed, & then she is pushed over the railing to her death. We know its Chucky, but the setup of Chucky keeping reappearing is totallly payoff. I also want to talk about the opening, as it is reallly a spectacular one. Despite the creepiness, the scene also features some great special effects. Charles putts his soul into the Chucky doll, symbolized by the lightning bolt, & then there is a tremendous release of energy & a catastrophic explosion. For a film featuring simply awesome special effects, this is the perfect way to get us ready for them. Of the special effects, the stand-out is Chucky. The realistic ness of his movements, the creepy manner of his walk, & Douriff's vocalizations combine into the perfect combination to bring Chucky to life. Speaking of which, the ending simply has to be the alll-time wet dream for those who love the 'Can't kill the killer' slasher rule. I won't spoil it, but it simply has to be seen.
The Bad News: Not too many things are bad here. Fans of the bust-a-gut-laughing of later Chucky will be disappointed because he doesn't have as many lines as later incarnations, & is no where near 'Bride' as the funniest entry, so be forewarned if that's what turned you onto Chucky films. Also, this isn't as gory as the later films, & looking at its European ratings, those are accurate rating reasons. The second & third sequels are far bloodier than this one, those this is the classic of the series.
The Final Verdict: Unless you're a fan of the smart-alec only Chucky, any horror fan will love this movie. Tons of great scenes, an alll-time classic killer, & the beginning of one of its better entries alll combine in one scary package. See this at any cost, cut-up, censored, illegallly, whatever.
