I loved those books as a kid. Not sure if there is enough 'payoff' in those stories to translate to the screen, unless their whole "the stories in this book really happen" plot ties it all together and carries the movie.
I also feel like I just watched most of the meat of the movie in that trailer?
I agree with Half in the Bag - they should have just called the Child's Play remake something else and done it's own thing (like Annabelle did).
The idea of a smart product, an AI learning the wrong things (like watching the kids being al crazy about slasher films in the film) and going crazy without realising it's crazy (like Skynet, the android in Alien etc) would work pretty well. And I guess AI-driven dolls that shape themselves after the kid are just around the corner.
Other than the non-Child's Play premiss - the movie sucked in every way.

Personally, I think House of 1000 Corpses is a masterpiece for the genre, and Devil's Rejects is even better. I know people get mad at the 'hillbilly' cheesy horror bit, but that is Rob Zombie's wheelhouse and what he watched growing up, and exactly what he is trying to create.

Yeah, it was ok. There were some good things but hoping these sequels ramp it up more with less attempted comedy.
Yeah after the serious, no-joke trailers I was surprised about the bad comedy bits (even with who the writers were).
Missed opportunity.
I think they should have started the film with the father and the son arriving at the buscrash and skipped all the pointless shit before that. And the whole last act should have been set on the middle-america-street where they had that one-shot with Michael going on a killing spree instead of having it take place in some boring house out in the forrest with home-alone traps taht made zero sense. Would have been much cooler have it take place in the middle of kids celebrating Halloween - with Michael being there killing, the cops looking for Michael without alarming the public and Laurie looking for Michael also. Could be some crazy tension.
And H20 Laurie > Halloween2018 Laurie And Josh Harnett as her son > her daughter
Why could they have not just kept John Harnett as her son, even with them not really acknowledging the movies before? Would have been something nifty in that.
