The IT remake works because 1. There’s only 1 version to compare it to and 2. The magical realism works within the frame of being an interesting, creepy story. Thematically, IT is about childhood trauma and growing up. Thematically, Chucky is about... not buying dolls as big as your kid

It’s fun 80s schlock horror and needs to stay that way

Not to mention IT’s previous incarnation was a made for TV movie, not a cinematic release. That and the layered content of the story and fleshed our characters leads it to make sense for there to be a remake, and they’ve knocked it out the park so far.

Chunky is an 80s/90s slasher series that is far outdated. I’d be surprised if this ended up being worth a damn, seems like none of those type remakes do very well

Pretty sure my wife and I were the only people who didn't like the IT remake. I absolutely hated it - least scary "horror" movie I've ever seen and they butchered the end of the kids story. Hoping part 2 is a lot better.
