Genre:
This website outlines the whole plot to the 1988’s version of Child’s Play. The beginning of the movie starts with Charles Lee Ray a fugitive and serial killer. While running away from the cops he gets shot several times and ends up at a toy store. While at the play store and on the brink of dying he transfers his soul into a “Good Guys doll”. A peddler steals this doll and then sells in to Karen Barclay who is the mother to Andy. Karen gives the doll to Andy for his birthday. On the day of Andy’s birthday Karen has to work so she has Maggie (a coworker) babysit Andy. While cleaning the kitchen we see an unknown person hit Maggie in the face with a hammer and out of fear and waling backwards Maggie falls out the window. The movie goes on then we hit the part where Karen finds out that Chucky has been moving without batteries. We also learn that Chucky is becoming more human the longer he stays in the doll. Andy gets taken away from the doll into a psychiatric hospital, and while he is there chucky finds him. The doctor that is in charge of watching Andy dies and then Andy runs home. Chucky then follows after him. Chucky dies because Detective Norris (who was on the case since the aunt died) shots him in the heart.
This website outlines the whole plot to the 2019’s version of Child’s Play. The beginning of the movies starts in Vietnam factory where Buddi dolls are made. An employee who is working on the doll gets fired because his supervisor is not happy with his work. While finishing up the doll that he is working on, he disables all the safety protocols. After he does that, he commits suicide by jumping off the building. While at work Karen notices that a few Buddi dolls are getting shipped back to the manufacturer and she is able to convinces her boss to give her one. Since the doll learns from the owner Buddi starts to display some violent tendencies because unknowingly Andy is showing him the violence. After Andy tries to separate himself from Chucky, the doll then goes on a killing spree trying to get Andy all to himself. At the end of the movie Chucky is defeated by the wrath of 3 teenagers.
I will use both of these websites as a way to compare and contrast the movies.

This article goes into details about how the originals and remakes are turning the horror genre into complete trash. I would use this article to kind of critique the original and the remake. I would focus on the differences and try to look at how they are sort of similar.+
Social Reform:
I would use this article to talk about the main serial killers at the time of the 1980s to try to connect the characteristics of Charles Lee Ray to the killers that were really big in the 1980s.
I would use this article to talk about the use of technology in new horror movies. This article talks about learned traits that Buddi goes through and goes into explanation about some of the technological aspects of Buddi.

This article talks about the use of Artificial intelligence, and then goes into an explanation about if the world is even ready for artificial intelligence. I would connect this to the 2019’s version of Child’s Play, because Buddi is artificially intelligent.
