I have no idea what the product tagline is on the new Buddi doll is, but it should be this: “First he was your best friend, and now he’s your worst enemy.” The new brand of the doll in the upcoming CHILD’S PLAY movie has some serious defects, and in the brand new trailer the one we all know as Chucky is going on a major killing spree, and he’s making use of a new weapon he didn’t have in the original movies – WiFi.

Being able to connect to the internet, Chucky has an all-new way to “play”, and we get a taste of that in this new preview, as he connects to other devices as a way of showing everyone just how much he loves them. But other than that, there’s not much new in this second trailer from the one we saw about a month or so ago. The main draw, Chucky, is still put on the sidelines while we see the same death teases from before. The first reveal of the character came this week, so there one or two brief glimpses in the trailer we can fill in the gaps for.
The biggest takeaway is we finally get to hear Mark Hamill’s creepy voice for the doll, as he wishes his owner a good night. It’s just a short sentence, but it’s enough to give you the willies and prove once again that when you need an actor to give a voice to your strange, possibly murderous character, Mark Hamill is the man you call.
A contemporary re-imagining of the 1988 horror classic, CHILD’S PLAY follows Karen (Aubrey Plaza), a single mother who gifts her son Andy (Gabriel Bateman) a Buddi doll, unaware of its more sinister nature.
CHILD’S PLAY also stars Aubrey Plaza and Brian Tyree Henry and is in theaters June 21.
