Not Only is Chucky back, he haunts your smart home in the Child’s Play Reboot.

It takes a weird twist and a stellar performance to lure some of us into a horror movie, most recently Lupita Nyong’o’s startling performance in Jordan Peele’s Us, and the weird vibe of offshoots like The Cabin in the Woods and the comedy Tucker & Dale vs. Evil, but given the new twist in the second trailer for the Child’s Play reboot, we just might be intrigued.

We get a more in depth look in the second trailer for the reboot written by Tyler Burton Smith and directed by Lars Klevberg. Apparently, the vicious little creature that’s been haunting our dreams since the character’s origin in 1988, spoiler, has now inhabited the soul of a serial killer, Charles Lee Ray; who now has access to a smart home platform that’s meant to replicate  Alexa or Google Home. It’s creepily called “Buddi,” but unlike Alexa or Google Home, it can supposedly connect to just about anything.

You can think about that the next time you ask your digital assistant about the weather or to order a pizza. In the trailer, Buddi can take over not only semi-benign devices like smart home thermostats but also autonomous cars and, according to the rather grisly trailer, a Wi-Fi-connected lawnmower.

The horror movie explains that Chucky’s connection to Buddi is enabled through a parent company that is making all the interconnected smart home devices called Kaslan. The functions listed in the Buddi app that are barely glimpsed in the trailer include a game, art, video, cloud, phone and perhaps most distressingly, drone

The movie takes its original concept, of a doll being possessed by a killer, while giving the main villain the advantages of today’s modern technology.

The most unsettling part of the reboot may be a startling performance by Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill, as Chucky. While Hamill is famous for his performance in the Star Wars films, he’s been doing brilliant voice performances as, among other projects, the Joker in the Arkham Asylum video games and a huge variety of animated films, among other voice acting projects. Hamill announced his participation in the bloody horror fest during a video message at WonderCon earlier this year. 

Child’s Play costars Brian Tyree Henry as a detective named Mike, and Aubrey Plaza as Andy’s mom, KarenBarclay.

Vincent Torres, a junior at ERHS gave his opinion on the upcoming slasher saying, “I think it looks dope, kinda how it takes place in the present day, and with the use of modern  technology.”

Vincent went on to say, “I think that the movie will do great, for many fans of both the series and horror movies.”

You’ll be able to experience Chucky’s latest blood driven rampage on June 21, 2019.
