    "So-So" horror movie (SPOILER ALERT)

    Child's Play was about a murderer named Charles Lee Ray who used a voodoo spell to become a doll. Most of the movie is just him trying to get out of the doll's body and replace it with a child named Andy. The reason I thought I'd like this movie was because I thought a killer doll would be scary. The reason I didn't like this movie was because it wasn't scary, clever, or suspenseful. You may think it could be suspenseful trying to figure out if he trades bodies with Andy, but if you know theres a Child's Play 2 with the same kid in it then you know that the doll won't.
