There is a film out there called Dolly Dearest which was about a
killer doll that took elements from both Child's Play and The
Exorcist. I see the remake of Child's Play, since they are saying
they want it more terrifying, to be a little like that with more of
a demon possessing storyline. However, in today's world, I'm most
likely wrong. Yet another one I will be skipping.

shouldn't be allowed to remake any movie that was done in the 70s,
80s, 90s, or 2000s. There's plenty of good material to remake that
was done before then.

we're going to do is we're going back and remaking the first one and
even pushing it further and making a very terrifying version of the
first one, which is pretty scary as it is." That sure sounds like
the same formula they used on the TCM remake - it's already a
classic, and scary enough as it is, but let's add more CGI, blood
and gore. Lame. They seem to have caught on to a new marketing type -
update the movie so they can have another box office opening, and
piles of money again.
> They need to think of some different marketing gimick. Maybe
rerelease the original version (which wouldn't cost the studio
anything), or release it to theatres with the commentary track, or
extra stuff added in. This "throw blood on it and it'll be better"
is getting old and stupid.

involved. They say they're working on story lines.... for the
remake - the story line is already there. If you're gonna work on a
story line, why not at least make it original?
