Chucky (Child’s Play)
This 1988 popular Hollywood supernatural slasher film has become a franchise and continues to give people sleepless nights and shivers. Chucky came to be when a serial killer (Charles Lee Ray) performs a voodoo spell and transfers his soul into a plastic Chucky Good Guy doll while on the run from the police. Unknown to a widow, she purchases the doll for her son and what happens turns the family’s life into a living nightmare.
Brahms (The Boy)
The film follows an American nanny Greta who learns that her new client is an inanimate doll that the parents call their son. As Greta spends time in the manor, taking care of ‘the boy’ as per the parents’ instruction, she suspects the doll is alive and has evil intentions. Brahm, who met his demise in a horrible fire, has a chilling twist ending that will give you goosebumps but is worth watching.
