IMO, the beginning with the toy store should have been left out, and explained later in the movie when mike explaining to the mom how charles lee ray died. it was a very good scene, but the entire movie we knew the doll was alive, kind of took some of the suspense out of some scene i think
A True Movie Lover Does Research Before They Start 2 Bitch
I was coming on here just to post this. This movie would have been much better had it gotten the audience to think that maybe Andy IS actually crazy and Chucky is not alive.
Actually, I had an idea for a remake, though I doubt anybody would like it. It would be really cool if Andy is actually Charles Lee Ray, the mass murderer. He was born named Andy, and starts killing as a kid, growing up with a doll named Chucky. He changes his name to Charles Lee Ray when he becomes an adult to escape being caught. That's the general plot line, but the opening scene would feature a man named "Andy" who goes to turn himself in and tells a story of how his doll killed people when he was a kid. The thing is, even though we see Chucky killing people, it was all in Andy's mind and we don't find out until later on in the film. These "flashback" events play out basically the same as the original film. At the end, "Andy" tells the officer that he is in fact Charles Lee Ray and then kills him. Another officer comes in and chases Charles Lee Ray down the street to a local toy store. Due to his psychosis, he tries a "spell" to transport his body into a Good Guy doll. Obviously, nothing happens because magic doesn't exist and Ray dies at the scene.
It probably ruins the original too much, but let's face it. Generic slashers don't get any respect whatsoever anyway.
Your non-interesting, mundane, crappy-realistic plotline has already been used. I can't remember the name of the movie, but it was the one about someone's father becoming crazy and starting to kill 'demons', and then his two sons getting involved. It unfolds almost exactly as you typed, and is an atrociously boring and groan-inducing, waste-of-time kind of experience.
"Fantasy" is always more interesting for a movie, where the realities of real world need not apply, than gloomy 'realism'. Your version would make an extremely boring movie.
It's just that 'fantasy' requires actual imagination and creativity, whereas 'realism' simply requires that you know how to boringly copy the 'real world' for your movie, and then pile on all kinds of depressing and horrible things.
What a waste of movie format your idea would be..
(But very fitting for modern times, where a good movie is more rare than a living solid crystal cross betweeen an unicorn, flying pig and a pink elephant)
Wow. Way to be the turd in the punchbowl, guy.
shareThe film you are thinking of is Frailty.
