I actually really liked it, it was fun!<br/><br/>Child’s Play was always kind of a “mid” horror franchise, but the series makes it better. It adds a lot to the lore, follows up with pretty much every character from all the movies (ever wonder what happened to the kid from the first movie, Chucky’s nonbinary kid, or Jennifer Tilly?), the gore is surprisingly good for cable TV, and it’s amazingly LGTB+-friendly.<br/><br/>#Horror #HorrorTV 2024-11-13T01:16:32Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs07hc4wnsruc9etqlu5p6gquf9s3py8733ye885nnqsdv0zs7rmxszyre7jy5p3ulvnr23l4st486pj4ja26zmykje0h9gqyna0p4s4mx3q2h7t7f Excluding a handful of reviews published in magazines with remaining exclusivity periods, my fantasy/horror book review archive blog has been brought up to date!<br/><br/>My reviews mainly focus on recent sword &amp; sorcery fantasy, horror, and Conan comics.

Much of the movie is quietly weird, and reminded me a bit of Carnival of Souls. The three main actresses were gorgeous. The film had a very unique and ominous pre-apocalyptic vibe.<br/><br/>#Horror #HorrorMovies 2024-08-17T00:47:44Z
