An inevitable sequel that's not as good as its progenitor, but better than most movies with the numbers 2 through 8 in their titles.

In embracing its identity as a tacky horror movie, and totally scrapping the murder mystery angle that made the original so wobbly, it manages to be a darn sight more fun to watch.

The mystique might have faded, but the psychopathic Chucky is still an apt threat.

Entirely standard sequel fare. Fans of the first one will be entertained on an infrequent basis.

[My predicted rating 2]I would have to say that Child's Play 2 was probably more entertaining than the first, not a great film, but watchable as part of the series.

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. The complete lack of atmosphere and overblown 90s horror lighting destroy any scares Child's Play 2 might have earned, but
