Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Child's Play is a cheerfully energetic horror film of the slam-bang school, but slicker and more clever than most.

fresh:
Director Tom Holland keeps things moving without rushing them. Unfortunately, Child's Play gets a little ugly at the end.

[A] clever, playful thriller.

rotten:
Fun withers in stretching the thin material to feature length.

rotten:
Making a good horror-thriller, or even a good horror-comedy, is not child's play, as this schizoid film all too unfortunately proves.
