Good remake

This is a brilliant if simple thriller/horror film! I was surprised I liked it so much, favours well compared to the original and much better than The Hitcher 2 which no doubt passed many by, just as well. This is very similar to the original with the general plot and "key" scenes still in it. Sophia Bush is great in this and Sean Bean does make a a good viillain. Very violent and bloody to go with it! If you thought this would be a poor comparison to the cult original then I suggest you check it out.

Watched a thriller called "Bad Frank" on Amazon. Starred a guy named Kevin Interdonato, with Tom Sizemore as the villain. The acting was ok. As was the cinematography. It's about a guy with a violent past who's "living right" but something happens that reunites him with that past and it causes problems in his present life and he comes unhinged. There's some partial nudity, and some violence so I wouldn't let the kids watch this one. The story unfolds with a couple decent twists and an intense ending. It's not the greatest movie I've seen but it's worth a watch if you're bored.

A pinnacle of absurd 80's horror

The original Child's Play is a hugely enjoyable slice of 80s horror. It's so silly, that it easy to see how the movie, and it's villain Chucky, have earned their place amongst horror royalty.

The low budget is stepped around pretty effectively, with lots of first person shots from Chucky's perspective, building up to the inevitable reveal, where we properly see Chucky in all his glory, swearing and stabbing his way through the rest of the movie.

It's over the top, silly, violent, and the acting throughout is pretty hammy, but it all works pretty well.

A well made and enjoyable to watch revenge action/thriller. The biggest let down really was how far fetched the plot was!! It starts well and has some quite violent scenes for this type of film. It's hard to say who you should be rooting for. At the start you can understand why a man in that position would want his wife and child murderers to suffer......but as he starts to seek revenge on anyone associated with the case, he himself becomes the bad guy. So despite the unbelievable plot it's still an entertaining film.

Yes it's showing it's age but this is still up there with Die Hard as one of the best action movies of the 80's. The original is the best in the series, darker and more violent than the (weaker but still fun) more comedic sequels. The plot is actually a little on the thin side with a fairly forgettable bad guy but what makes the film is of course Gibson & Glover as Riggs & Murtagh one of the greatest big screen duos. The banter ,warmth and respect between the two characters is tremendously entertaining and you just can't help but root for them.
