It's there in the teaser, and in the tweet. What are you talking about?

It's an adaptation of a book of campfire stories that is remembered solely for someone else's art. Advertising it with "From the imagination of Guillermo del Toro" is misleading to say the least.

It looks like a cross between Babadook and that German movie Goodnight Mommy from a few years ago. I'm down for it.

Also, DirecTV is making movies now? The gently caress?

Looks cute and fun and harmless. Which is a shame, because a Shaft reboot could have some real power right now if done straight.

e: the more I think about it, the less harmless it seems. There's a real "this new PC young generation are pussies; they're not okay with violence, they won't hit women, and they avoid illegal activities" vibe throughout that seems like an awful message for our moment.

There's so much interesting poo poo you could do with 3 generations of Shaft. And then there's making Shaft a cop.

The director discusses the change in this just released article and I think it’s a good move.

While they did say "lets do something different" I think the latter part of the article is more of the real explanation. With a three year old, you're only able to do so much on screen. There's a ton of obstacles - primarily in being able to effectively use young actors and that it can unintentionally come off comedic. So I think the 8 year old just gives them more flexibility for a fleshed out - and hopefully decently acted- character.

Upon watching the Pet Semetary trailer I'm more surprised they showed the achilles tendon scene............................................... . Granted you would not have to have seen the original, but for the uninitiated it's so disturbingly visceral that it'd be a great "didn't expect that" theater moment.

story I've heard is that some factory worker in China programs one of the dolls to have zero limitations and so poo poo goes awry

I'm cautiously optimistic about this even if it's wildly different from "voodoo possession origin" though the potential of maybe this doll loving this kid too much so it starts killing people could be decent.

Ok teaser but some of the scenes are weird and almost indicate that all the Buddi 2 line goes haywire? Because one doll making an entire mall go crazy with fear seems... odd. Or like the scene where Chucky is in front of a car. Just run over the thing!

How insanely far in the realm of science fiction is even just the construction of this mass produced children's toy that it couldn't be stopped immediately with one good swing of a bat or club?

It's basically like saying, "A random factory worker in China turned this one doll into a sentient, evil Iron Man suit."

yeah one of my buddies was like "so there's no voodoo magic? well where do they get super strength from?" so I'm hoping the above post about many of them malfunctioning happens but it would also be a hilarious copycat move from what happened in Cult of Chucky

The voodoo/human element really was a big helping of meat in the original, that a lonesome and imaginative boy befriending a toy is far more sinister under the surface where we see a helpless child become manipulated and tortured by a serial killer.

I'm not saying this new movie is trying to be the original wrt themes and events, etc., but that aspect lent heavily into stopping Chucky, both the horror and the urgency, as well as suspending disbelief as it's well established that exceedingly few mortal restrictions still apply to Charles Lee Ray.

Idk. If the different origin pans out to be correct, they can still manage something good but it seems nuts to-
