Product Information

On August 16, 2022, the film was released in Ultra HD Blu-ray for the first time by Scream Factory, featuring newly-restored scans from the original camera negatives made for the first three Child's Play films in addition to Blu-rays containing new and legacy extras as well as the previously released remastered of the film from the 2016 Collector's Edition Blu-ray. [37] Reception [ edit ] I got boxes of letters from schoolchildren in Great Britain. There was an outcry against the movie where I was criticized for making children afraid of their playthings, especially the dolls, and how horrible I was." [49] Renown Pictures present Child’s Play (made in 1952 and released in 1954), a science-fiction comedy film about children who manage to split the atom! What could possibly go wrong? Never before released on DVD, this nostalgic 1950s film portrays a sweet and innocent view of post-war childhood and features early performances by Anneke Wills and Christopher Beeny. What the original Child’s Play has going for it more than any other films in the series is the reality of the situation and how it relates to real life. We’re engaged by Andy and Karen and we’re concerned when their world is thrown into chaos, as well as the possibility that they may be torn away from each other. As someone who grew up with a working single mother, the film is very personal for me in that regard, as I’m sure it is for many other children coming from divorced families. The other factor is how gritty the film is. It pulls very few punches, even when it comes to Andy’s safety. On October 3, 2017, Universal Home Entertainment re-released the film once again on DVD and Blu-ray in a boxset for the respective formats, containing all seven Child's Play films.

CinemaScore". CinemaScore. Archived from the original on April 13, 2022 . Retrieved April 13, 2022. Sexual Meter: 1 Strike. This film is pretty much a 1 star on the sexual meter. There is zero nudity, zero bed scenes, no make out stuff what so ever. I will note one tiny part that shows nothing, but is on the suggestive side. A woman tries to ask a man for information regarding the doll. The man wants her to pay for his information, she tries to give him money but he wants her body instead. He pushes her and the suggestive part is that he wants to sexually assault her, when she is then saved by the detective. There is nothing shown, but it's something that I just wanted to give a note of warning too about that one part. Interview: John Franklin (Children of the Corn, The Addams Family)". Tumblr .

This British comedy film directed by Maclean Rogers was made at the Riverside Studios in Hammersmith. The film sets were designed by the art director Andrew Mazzei. Set in wartime London, a group of boys assist an incompetent hotel porter in thwarting a gang of criminals.

During the initial release, a large crowd of protesters formed at the main entrance of MGM calling for a ban on the film because, they claimed, it would incite violence in children. Local news reporters from two TV stations were broadcasting live from the scene. The producer, David Kirschner, was watching the demonstration on TV and was disturbed. Jeffrey Hilton, who had been working in Kirschner's office at MGM, indicated that he could quell the disturbance in ten minutes. While Kirschner was watching from the safety of his office, Hilton spoke to the group's leader and shook his hand. The group instantly dispersed, much to the chagrin of the newscasters. Hilton did not reveal to Kirschner whether it had been a threat or simple diplomacy that saved the day.
