Oh hi,

This week on filmsack …hey..what was that…hmm.. this week on filmsack we…shhh…there it goes again… this week on film…. aha! ahhh nothing… ok. This week on Filmsack we find it mere CHILD’S PLAY to call upon our misappropriated Big City VooDoo magic while dying after getting shot so as to transfer our souls into the creepy toy doll of HBO Max – Max for a jump-scare good time when we put on our footy-pajamas and snuggle under the blankets with a half a tub of butter and a bowl of diabetes flakes to watch this Revenge/Horror from 1988. Rated R for Really…your doll killed Aunt Maggie? Really… I don’t believe you… DRIVE’S SIDE UNDER THE SEAT CROTCH STAB! Hallelujah! I’m a believer!

Anywho, I recently ordered a few birthday presents from BackAlleyPeddlerCart.com aka Temu where the refund policy may or may involve attempted rape by a mouth full of bad teeth. So, let’s see what we got.. oh…it’s a slightly shot up Lakeshore Strangler figurine … with tiny hands and a gun…how off brand for a strangler. Speaking of off brand…What else we got…ahh…a box of disappointment… it’s an 1980s era boy’s toy tool box with a real f’ing hammer to weaponize the fatherless kid who asked for something else entirely… but grandma is on a fixed income so she got this instead. ..thanks grandma. no really… love you and miss you. oh! and finally, it’s an easy to reach box of matches to burn all this shit. I SAID NO REFUND!

Randy, Let’s play hooky from school and sneak off for a train ride to the bad side of town where we can pee in the snow and take revenge. CHUCKY CHUCKY

BRIEF

Gunned down by Detective Mike Norris (Chris Sarandon), dying murderer Charles Lee Ray (Brad Dourif) uses black magic to put his soul inside a doll named Chucky — which Karen Barclay (Catherine Hicks) then buys for her young son, Andy (Alex Vincent). When Chucky kills Andy’s baby sitter, the boy realizes the doll is alive and tries to warn people, but he’s institutionalized. Now Karen must convince the detective of the murderous doll’s intentions, before Andy becomes Chucky’s next victim.
