Child's Play 3 1991 Alex Granata

Child’s Play 3

            I remember back in the day one of my best friends was always talking about the “Chucky” series, I don’t know why he was so obsessed with it but he wouldn’t stop talking about it.  I felt that it was time for me to finally watch one of them.  This movie was released in 1991 and was the third in Child’s Play series.  It is placed in the horror genre and it is in fact quite creepy.  Chucky is the only non-human character in the film, in my opinion this one doll amongst humans conveys much more than if the movie was composed of all dolls and no humans.

            The way this movie was shot/filmed really adds a certain type of feel to it.  Often the scenes with Chucky in them are shot in low light or nighttime.  This definitely will keep the audience curious and on their toes.  The audio also adds to the feel of the movie, the slow but climatic audio keeps the audience wondering what’s going to happen next.

            One of my favorite aspects about this film is that a doll is committing these murders.  People typically use dolls for security and to comfort themselves, but this doll does nothing close to that.  It’s ironic, and therefore making the film that much more powerful.  Irony is used in a lot of movies; it gets the audience to think and can be used to convey a specific theme/message.
