Definitely a well made movie, and I wanted to watch it cause I felt like John Wagner and his fellows who worked on Judge Dredd comics took some inspiration from this movie. Sadly, I did not enjoy it as much as I'd hoped.
It's funny when a future movie from past decades/century imagine what the world would be like the day we're experiencing, and our experience is pretty different from what these stories imagine.
25 years later, they still haven't f**ked up this franchise and I'm very happy about it.
Ghostface is alive and well and the horror genre gets to keep one of its icons untainted.
Delivering on what’s usually expected in the genre such as gruesome imagery and dark humor, this remake of the classic horror film also brings some nice ideas to the table, such as a justified parallel with Spielberg's cinema of the 80s. But there are also a few flaws, the main one being that Chucky isn't really the same character anymore, with the story instead offering a variation on the whole "killer doll" concept. The film would certainly have benefited from completely cutting all ties with the franchise to become something more on its own. It would also have avoided the wrath of disappointed fans...
To sum it up simply: a “bad” remake but still an entertaining slasher.
A CLOCKWORK ORANGE (1971)
Directed by Stanley Kubrick.
After what’s probably one of the most haunting movie intros of all time, and until its end, the film never loosens its grip. Iconic shots and sequences every few minutes. Plenty of memorable lines to quote. And perhaps above all, a mischievous Malcolm McDowell exhaling his charisma through his interpretation of the cruel Alex. Burgess black satire brought to the big screen by Kubrick's incredible sense of style certainly didn't usurp its status as a masterpiece.
The (also brilliant) soundtrack, by marrying the warmth of classical music to synthetic sounds, is a perfect illustration of the film : grandiose and cold.
