4 stars (Very Good) The very concept of Child's Play in the late 80s was enough to give parents and censors a panic-attack, with a sweet cabbage-patch doll turning demonic killer. A horrifying concept, if looking a little dated in the 2000s. ~Tom H

3 stars (Good Enough) One of the better late '80s slasher movies, which is admittedly a low hurdle to clear. One star off because the best part is the ending, which it rips off from Trilogy of Terror. ~Pearce
