    another great upgrade from scream/shout factory. child’s play 4k contains: - 3 discs (1 4k, 2 blu ray) - reversible cover art (left is one option, right is the other) - all discs contain bonus features (4k has commentary only) —•— also the movie was really good before 4k and now it’s ever better. hope they release the other chucky films on 4k (not just 1-3).

    UHD of Chucky

    Chucky is never mentioned amongst the A-tier of movie monsters/villains despite the Chucky film/TV series being amongst the most solid of the many franchises out there, with the sequels usually bring of a higher quality than it's ilk. For the uninitiated, I'll be brief with the plot; Charles Lee Ray is the Lakeshore Strangler who is shot and killed by Lt. Mike Norris. Unfortunately for Norris, Chucky, with his knowledge of a variant of Voodoo, was able to transfer his soul into the season's hottest toy, a Good Guy doll. Cut to Karen Barclay, a single mom of a six-year old boy named Andy who wants said doll on his birthday, and manages to come across a homeless man behind her store selling the doll, which happens to be Chucky. Chucky plans on getting revenge on those who wronged him, and transfer his soul into Andy, but he's chasing the clock before he's trapped in the body of a Good Guy, forever. Overall, the film is a breezy 85 minutes that is entertaining and rather subdued compared to the other films in the series, with a lesser body count and not many over-the-top scenes of violence. Todd Holland focused on being a more suspenseful thriller than straight-up horror film, going back and forth that maybe Andy was behind the new attacks on Andy's aunt Maggie and Chucky's accomplice Eddie. The story is focused and the performances are reliable, with Brad Dourif as Chucky being the real draw. This is simply one of the better horror films of the 80s, if not of all-time. Having been a fan for a couple of decades now, it makes sense that I have owned various versions of the film, starting with the 20th anniversary DVD from 2008 (I avoided the early millennium DVD due to the lack of extras and the disc's full-frame nature) and was happy with the extras and the picture quality, that was carried over to the following year's BluRay, then to the then-current best of the previous Shout! Factory BluRay that was the best in terms of picture, sound and extras. Luckily, they did it again, with a fantastic 4k remaster on deck, (along with Dolby Vision and Atmos but I lack the equipment to use either, sadly) and with that in mind, it doesn't show us an image that is leaps and bounds superior to the other 4k UHDs of these films. The film is naturally dark and muted, having been shot and set during the fall/winter of '88 in Chicago, with the film showing off rather dense film grain, but looks very natural and shows off immense details throughout. The HDR10 version I watched didn't boost the image too much with color, since the pallette favored darker tones, but the shadow details and blacks were fantastic. When there was some primary colors, they did have some "pop" to them, the scenes of the fireplace and neon lights also made their presence known. However, if you're not a fan of film grain, this won't wow you, but it's absolutely the best this film has and will probably look, at least for a years. The set's standard BluRay also carries over the 4k remaster and also looks incredible, and will impress on 1080p sets, but even up-rezzed on a 4k set, though the lack of HDR does affect it, but still succeeds MGMs old disc, and even the original Shout! Factory 2k remaster from several years earlier. Audio wise, the film has Atmos, but having no sound bar or home theater set-up, the included lossless stereo sound track was nice and sounded like how the film was shown in theaters 34 years ago. Top notch! The extras are where the film really shines through, with a ton of legacy content, and even new extras. 4 audio commentaries are available to listen to, with these audio treats available on both discs (Sadly, they're the only extras on the UHD), and all are legacy tracks. The tracks included feature a mix of cast and crew and Chucky himself also chatting over portions of the film and they include amusing and in-depth content thought all four, with the Don Mancini track being the best one. The feature film BluRay disc also holds the new content, which are interviews with cast and crew members that total to well over an hour of some good featurettes. Disc 3 is essentially the same disc from the previous Shout! set, and it's filled with goodies that are worthy of watching, with a 3-part making-of documentary, many featurettes and more, all curated from the previous set and the MGM disc as well, for an outstanding set overall. If you feel the price is too high, consider the faithful 4k remaster, the inclusion of the BluRay with same remaster, all of the old extras from the Shout! disc, plus new extras, and excellent audio, you're in for a real treat. Buy it, you won't regret it!

    Child’s Play (1988) 4K Review

    When Scream Factory announced they were releasing the first 3 Child’s Play films in 4K last year, I was hesitant because of the price, but after purchasing the first one at my local Best Buy, I have to say it was worth it. The picture quality and sound are fantastic. Truly the best this film had ever looked and sounded. The set comes with 3 separate disc. One for the actual 4K disc. And two Blu-Ray disc, with one containing the Blu-Ray of the film with a brand new 4K Scan and updated audio and the other disc specifically for special features. Including commentary tracks, interviews, behind the scenes footage with the cast and crew. This set has hours of bonus content and too many to list off. As for the art design, of course, with this being Scream Factory, the film has a reservable cover. One for amazing fan art and the other side is the iconic Child’s Play poster. There is nothing short from this set. If you’re a diehard Child’s Play fan or a horror fan in general I would highly recommend buy this. The asking price can be steep for some and it would be a hassle just for this ONE movie, but you really do get more bang for your buck and I can only hope that if these sell well then Scream Factory does the next 4 films.

    Effective, stands up today. A movie that gets better with each viewing. The practical effects are truly amazing. The 4k transfer is solid and the sound kicks some butt for an older movie. Got to get this one.
