It's been years since Chucky, the doll with the soul and the voice (Brad Dourif) of a psychopathic killer, was apparently destroyed in a fire at a doll factory. Now Chucky's manufacturer is remaking the same line of toys with the old, still haunted materials. This resurrects Chucky, who goes after Andy (Justin Whalin), his former owner, who now attends military school. Chucky slashes his way through a string of grotesque murders as Andy tries to stop the homicidal doll and the spirit within it.

1/5
These films are just getting worse...I always thought Chucky was one of the better slasher characters but the setting for this story just doesn't fit. This was also incredible boring compared to the previous films. Go to Full Review

This was a lackluster sequel that didn't make any sense and was missing all of the fun that comes with a crazy character like Chucky...very disappointing... Go to Full Review

An older Andy faces society's will for youth to conform to the capitalist existence that is modern adulthood, and also must deal with the pressures of toxic masculinity. Go to Full Review

[Writer Don Mancini] maintains still that Child's Play 3 is the worst of the franchise. History vindicates him in this belief. Go to Full Review

Luke G Apr 8, 2019 The short time of preparation for this film was a sin.
George R Mar 27, 2019 By the time Child's Play 3 comes around, the whole killer doll concept is getting kind of stale. The idea of having Andy go to military school is not the worst idea ever for a setting but it isn't a very good place for Chucky to carry out his actions (I mean, if you were in the military and saw a doll you would probably dispose of it and not leave it around like in this film). The cheesiness of this film is pretty high and has so many bad one-liners that will definitely have you cringing by the end of the film. The final battle is satisfying and delivers the gore factor that fans are looking for, but the rest of the film really lacks in satisfying on screen kills. Definitely not as good as the previous two films in this franchise. See more
Draco R Mar 11, 2019 As a teen drama edition of Full Metal Jacket, Child's Play 3 honestly is not half-bad. But as a killer doll movie? Not so much. It's a shame because Chucky's not a terrible animatronic, Brad Dourif's voice acting is what makes this movie not a complete waste and there was some brief instances of humour. Plus, a surprisingly sad moment in the third act that we don't have enough time to shed tears over because "amusement park climax time, kids!" The dialogue is bad, the unlikable characters have one wonder why Andy doesn't just let Chucky kill all the assholes and Tyler. What an idiot. It's never explained how old he is in the final film although a deleted scene established him as 9 years old and the actor was 10 when the movie came out but he's clearly too old to believe this obviously evil doll. How did he not suspect something was off regarding that "Find the Soul" game? Andy at least had the excuse back in the first film that he was 6 years old. And even then, it only took him half the first movie to realize that he's, ironically given the brand name, not a good guy. Even Chucky has enough with Tyler not catching on that he's the villain and pulls out his trusty knife after he's had enough of being called Charles Lee Ray so that the proverbial penny finally drops. Child's Play 3 is not very good. The killer doll feels too out-of-place in a teen-oriented military drama. Just because the premise is unique - "A killer doll at a military school" - doesn't mean it's going to work in the final film. See more
Han P Feb 21, 2019 Promising franchise devolves into schlock.
Leia S Jan 25, 2019 I think the only horror about this movie is the amount of time I wasted watching it.
Poe S Dec 26, 2018 is far from being the best, but it is not a fiasco as many say, entertains and some parts are loaded with good suspense, especially the final scene. See more
