Lars Klevberg and MGM's upcoming remake of Tom Holland and Don Mancini's CHILD'S PLAY with Mark Hamill as the voice of new Chucky will be unleashed into a theater near you TOMORROW. And today we've got our hands on some of the early reviews for the movie. The movie currently holds a solid 70% approval rating over on Rotten Tomatoes. Check some of the top quotes out below!

TheWrap

The movie's biggest strength is its balance between mordant humor and psychological fear. Everyone's focus seems to be in a very old-fashioned place, and here that's an asset.

Little White Lies

A cut above your average horror reboot.

Guardian

Child's Play bubbles with entertaining bad taste.

Nightmarish Conjurings

Child's Play may not be perfect but it delivers over-the-top gore, loads of humor, and, surprisingly, breathes new life into one of horrors most beloved and iconic characters.

SciFiNow

Although the whole enterprise rings a little shallow, it still packs a punch. Moving along with great visual flair, its nasty blend of effective jump-scares and graphic gore offers something for everyone.

South China Morning Post

A hugely enjoyable horror comedy that pays tribute to its predecessor but delivers something fresh out the box, too.
