Muñeco diabólico 2

Muñeco diabólico 2 es una secuela rutinaria que ciertamente no molesta al espectador, pero tampoco le sorprende. El esqueleto de la trama es prácticamente el mismo que en el primer episodio (nadie se cree al niño hasta casi el final), y sigue tomándose demasiado en serio a sí misma. El final en la fábrica de muñecas es, sin embargo, bastante exagerado y eleva la deslucida hora anterior ligeramente por encima de la media. (25.04.2019)

"Children's Game 2" is a movie that manages to somewhat decently expand the story of the first film, but only through unnecessary stretching, where there is no significant impact. And even though it seems to be the end at the very end, the third installment did not take long to come, and Don Manici continues to pamper his child, essentially his only contribution to the horror genre, but actually to film in general. That's what you call a life's work. (27.03.2014)

While the first installment of Child's Play was a suspenseful horror film that managed to evoke genuinely uncomfortable feelings, for me, the second film represents the exact fulfillment of the clichéd adage that sequels are always worse. I'm in fact often on the other side of the spectrum and I consider certain series to be compact or, adversely, I often see the first parts as a stepping stone for increasing quality. The basic attributes of Child's Play 2 were at least decent, Alex Vincent returned, Christine Elise became his ideal partner and Greg Germann played a sympathetic role at the beginning. The development of the basic idea from last time (Chucky is still chasing Andy and doesn't have much time) proved to be workable, but the solution to the foster care storyline without the minimal interaction of Andy's mother's life lacks logic. And logic is also lacking in many other scenes, whether it's just small details (the murder with the ruler? WTF?) or the entire final scene in the warehouse, as if it was only prepared for the subsequent rampage of Robin Williams in Toys (1992). There is some suspense, there are no surprises, and the resulting script slips into pure B-grade. That’s too bad. I hope the planned remake of the first film will go a different way. (23.12.2010)
