I feel someone should be able to recut this movie into an evil child movie. The omen 4.5 or something like that.

Maybe it is because I don't remember the first movie all that much, but I really felt like this was a step up, superior to the original movie.

Of course you can't count much on acting, especially child acting, in these kind of movies. You look for the story, fun and the gore. And, especially in a Killer-Puppet-Movie the special effects.

Story: As in every sequel ever, of course the evil being comes back and is now on his way to get the survivor of the original movie. Other than the kid the whole cast is new. Mother is in a psychiatric facility, and there wasn't much else. The story is well paced, there is not much downtime between kills, we get some nice character building for the new characters, mostly the new "Big Sister".

Fun: With such a crazy premise, you'd have to go out of your way to not make it fun. Just imagine a crazy little doll with red hair and freckles kills everyone in his way. And speaks with a deep voice, and speaks mostly in obscenities. Pair that with lots of forgettable, easily killable grown ups and you got yourself a lot of fun.

Gore: For a movie with a little boy in the lead, Child's Play 2 has a lot of gore. It's not Tom Savini levels or numbers of gore, but there are quite a few standout scenes. That toy factory is literally full of killing machines.

Effects: I remember the original Child's Play Chucky doll being alright. Usually it was just the puppet, maybe some slight movement, but nothing too crazy. Here, Chucky is really well made, lots of facial expressions, mouth movements etc. I sometimes even forgot how much work was behind this and just thought well that's just really Chucky. I really believed in the puppets performance.

All in all, it hit all the right marks and managed to be fun even though it's a sequel. It doesn't do anything completely new, but it does all the things right to make you enjoy it without being bored.

I'm rating Child's Play Two 3.5 out of 5 stars and a like.

(While writing this review more than once I had my fingers on the wrong keys and wrote Child's Okay so just imagine me putting a witty joke about that right here. Thanks)
