Child's Play
You'll wish it was only make-believe.
Directed by Tom Holland
Produced by United Artists, David Kirschner Productions
A high-tension supernatural slasher that weaponizes childhood innocence and domestic trust, building dread through the violation of a child's safety and a mother's protective bond.
After being shot in a toy store, a serial killer transfers his soul into a Good Guy doll. A mother then gifts it to her 6-year-old son Andy, which unleashes terror upon the city.
