10 Horror Remakes Coming In 2019
8. Child's Play
One of the most definitive characters of the 80s, and of course the whole horror genre, Chucky the Good Guy Doll has wreaked havoc for the past 30 years over seven different films. Ranging from the sweet (finding his true evil lover in Bride of Chucky) to the disgusting (the idea of the 'Seed' of Chucky really does the talking here), the haunted Cabbage Patch Kid has become a staple of horror right up until as recently as 2017.
Instead of continuing this legacy however - it's time for a change of batteries. 2019 heralds the new age of Chucky, or Buddi, as he's now known, the high-tech updated doll that connects to your WiFi and comes with a whole new range of interactive abilities. Instead of a serial killer, Buddi has been programmed with no limitations on his A.I., rendering him a rogue prop intent on killing rather than a wholesome birthday present as intended.
Child's Play (2019) seems to follow the formula closely enough, but just how much it pays homage to Chucky's campy fun is important - no-one wants to see a cheap, serious, churned out remake when play is literally the name of the game.
