Child's Play 2

“Drive-In Academy Award nominations for Alex Vincent, the same kid from the first movie, for attacking Chucky with an electric carving knife; Christine Elise, as Andy's big foster sister, for pitching Chucky through a station-wagon windshield; Don Mancini, the writer, and John Lafia, the director, for having Chucky use a cellular phone and saying, "Now it's time to play Hide the soul." [30 Nov 1990, p.7]”

“This sequel to the surprise 1988 hit is a slicker and ultimately more disturbing film than the first.”

“Child's Play 2 is an inevitable sequel that's not as good as its progenitor, but better than most movies with the numbers 2 through 8 in their titles. Thin plot-wise, it caters to an audience apparently amused on the first go-round by the antics of a foul-mouthed doll named Chucky.”

Richard Harrington, Washington Post · 50

“It's an all-out horror film--handsomely produced but morbid and not in the least amusing to watch.”

Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times · 50

“Vicious as Chucky is, it's hard to be scared by anything that kicks its little feet helplessly every time it flings itself upon a full-sized human target.”

Janet Maslin, The New York Times · 50
