So some of us might remember this guy: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imYvOgyU9oo)

Now, I've said it before - Child's Play is not a bad movie. It's a brilliant horror flick, and the voodoo bits are handled well - voodoo being how Chucky inhabites the doll in the first place. But I've also said that remakes are crap.
What are they doing? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTvqTjiKFkM) Remaking Childs Play. So what, we've got the Japanese stuff - Ringu, Ju-On and whatever Dark Water is in Japanese - as well as Amityville Horror, Nightmare On Elm Street, The Omen, Halloween... All the classics are getting the workover. (The only reason I leave out The Exorcist is because it's been sequel-ed to death over the years, just like the Friday movies.)
So if the last remake - Nightmare On Elm Street - is any indication, Childs Play is going to miss the mark and suck. In that order.
