Child's Play

When criminal Charles Lee Ray gets shot while running from cop Mike Norris he transfers his spirit into a popular children's toy.

The toy is a doll from the Good Guys TV show. Ray now goes by the name of Chucky (Ray's nick name).

Little Andy wants nothing more than one of those dolls. His mother gets him one and the doll proceeds to wreak havoc on the boy and his family while at the same time trying to take revenge on everyone that has done him wrong in his lifetime.

This is cult!

Richard Attenborough can tell a decent stories in a much, much smaller context than his later film, Gandhi.
