Movie Info

A derivative rehashing of its predecessor (which itself owes a heavy debt to Trilogy of Terror), this sequel details the plight of young Andy (Alex Vincent), who in the previous film narrowly escaped losing his soul to make room for devil-doll Chucky (voice of Brad Dourif).

Audience Reviews for Child's Play 2

There are a few solid gore effects and surprising kills, but Chucky is an absolutely shit villain. Do people actually LIKE Brad Dourif's overwrought, unclever voice performance? Inconceivable.
