Hope the original is better than this!
I've never seen the original, so this film should really benefit from the fact that I have no preconceptions. Unfortunately it still fails to deliver anything other than an unsuspensful and boring 2 hours.

The plot idea is a fairly good one, at least until it descends into nonsense later on, but the problem is it's very badly executed. There's no tension, no scares. It's all very predictable and yawn inducing. Shame really as it has a decent cast, they're just not given anything good to work with.

They made a remake? Oh dear, the original is an absolute classic!

A story that begins as revenge turns into so much more. An original story that takes a look at blood money and the difference between classes. If our blood was the money used to pay for everything. The poor bleed their lives away while the rich stay young for hundreds of years by consuming the blood coins of others.
I have to say I was skeptical but I loved this story. It was so original and the plot was something that kept you guessing until the very end.

It has good scares, great actors and a few engaging moments. It also has a few scenes from, and references to, the book that the original left out. (0 more)
While it adds a couple of elements from the book that the original film left out, it takes a few too many liberties when deviating from the source material in other areas. (1 more)
The setup of the film takes far too little time, leaves many questions unanswered, confuses the average viewer that hasn't read the book, and lacks the ability to keep you immersed.

Well done
Took me a while to decide to watch this movie because I love the original and am not a fan of remakes. That being said, this one was very well done! The story had a little more to it than the original but it made it more interesting. Things seemed to happen faster in this one, as well. The cinematography and effects were terrifically done and kept the intensity flowing well. Even if you've seen the first one and kinda know the plot story, this one will still entertain. DEFINITELY worth a watch!

Great to see the original cast back together after 13 years from the first film. It gave me a slight sense of nostalgia as well thinking about when I saw the first film and how things have changed since then. All the best scenes seem to involve Jim & Michelle apart from a few in jokes from the earlier films. So never really as funny as the first or having as much of an impact, but good to see them altogether again. Just noticed the poster is a recreation of the original as well!

Original idea same vein as Black Mirror
This is a very original idea for a TV show, very dark in parts as though it's touching on parts and people in society that most other shows won't go to, very similar vein to black mirror without the techy feel.
I loved it and watched it start to finish in one go as its kind of like you want to know how much more messed up it can get.
Highly reccomend for fans of early black Mirror.

Better
This prequel turned out much better than the original. The acting and cinematography were spot on and the story unfolded much cleaner. There's plenty of "creep" factor in this one. Not heavy on jump scares but the creatures and effects were pretty cool. Watching the other one will make it so you kind of know what will happen but it doesn't take away from the entertainment value at all. The good news is you don't have to see the original to enjoy this one. It's a good stand alone film. Worth a watch!

Chuckys design
Just finished watching not as good as the original but it's okay did we really need a child's play remake probably not. the acting was okay mark hamill on voice dutys good but not as good as Brad dourif and the chuckys look so wrong it just wasn't chucky. There are some kills in the movie which I like. Let's hope they don't make a sequel and go back to the original Chucky next time
