Two years after serial killer Charles Lee Ray (Brad Dourif) inserted his soul into a Chucky doll, a toy company attempts to re-create the doll, bringing Ray back in the process. The possessed doll, intent on claiming a human body, kills his way toward former owner Andy (Alex Vincent), who now lives in a foster home. Andy's foster sister, Kyle (Christine Elise), tries to protect him, but his foster parents believe Andy is just a troubled kid -- and Chucky's murderous path continues.

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.

Some of the novelty is gone but, overall, it's still an inventive, cleverly done, often scary outing.

3/5

The sequel leans fully into its worst instincts and somehow that's exactly what makes it work. Child's Play 2 is funnier, meaner, and far more comfortable with how much it enjoys being evil.

3/4

The film is surprisingly well-shot with all kinds of strange angles and unsettling spaces, notably the toy factory where the climactic showdown takes place.

3/5

Mancini has big things to say about capitalism aimed at kids, though they don't always come across as well as in other portions of the franchise.

6/10

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.

Literally the best film I've seen in years

Ok. Probably the most remembered of the franchise. The persecution at the factory was phenomenal. Christine Elise played an excellent role, unlike the lazy role of Alex Vincent. It is a regular and entertaining movie.

Child's Play 2 is (overall) one of the best films in the Chucky franchise. It delivers more off-beat laughs and delivers some humorous kills and has decent gore effects. The film is good in the way that it explores foster kids relationships with parents and each other even though that is not the main point of the film. The opening credits are entertaining as they show you the revival of the classic Good Guy Doll. Even though this is a really cheesy and dated horror film, it still delivers good kills and 84 minutes of good entertainment.

What a wasted opportunity. Bad acting mixed with a shitty script, makes for a crappy movie!

An ugly and cynical sequel.

One of the better sequels in the franchise, all the fun and gore form the original is still there, though it lacks a good scare.
