Child's Play: The Don Mancini Cut

This is a new way to watch Child´s Play and for that only is a great edit. I still prefer the original cut, but Dwight Fry does a great job here. I grew up with Child´s Play and saw it a hundred times and watching this edit made me feel like I was watching the movie for the first time. From little things like the new credits matching the originals and looking extremely professional to bigger things (the whole new structure of the film) everything works great. The only "flaw" (If I can call it this way) is that I felt the flashback happened without a more clear build up. But it´s understandable because he hadn´t more scenes available to use. Anyway, it´s a great edit and a new way to watch Child´s Play! If you a fan of the original movie you should watch this fanedit!

Well how can I say it.. this edit just became one of my favourite movies of all time!

Previous to watching the edit, I remembered Child's Play as a kind of a silly, so-so horror movie that I still enjoyed because I like 80's and 90's horror movies in general.

I noticed this edit's existence by chance, and watched it just out of curiosity. But it really grabbed my interest from early on, and the suberb editing and pacing kept me interested until the very end!

Only after watching the edit I checked out the editing details information, to try and remember the original as well as understand if the edit itself made the movie great, or if the changes were not significant. I was pleasantly surprised to see that indeed, as I remembered, the original sounded a bit silly compared to the excellent edit that I had just watched.

Thank you!!

Recently started watching the show Chucky out of curiosity (not a terrible watch by any means) and then I saw this edit dropped. Figured I’d give it a watch and man am I glad I did.

Out of all the fanedits I’ve watched, I think this one may have one of the smartest choices I’ve seen and it pays off HUGE! Moving the Charles Lee Ray prologue to much later in the film and making the small tweaks leading up to it really make this movie hit so much differently compared the the theatrical version. The original is certainly enjoyable but this edit will forever replace it for me.

It’s been a minute since I’d seen the original and I went into this cold without reading the cultist. I’ll probably find myself doing that more often now. There were no out of place audio or video cuts whatsoever so top marks there for sure. It’s funny, watching it I felt like there were some subtle cuts that I just couldn’t put my finger on. Reading the cut list after made it make sense. All of the little trims used to eliminate you seeing Chucky’s hand, feet, etc. leading up to the big reveal was what I was “missing.” Anyone watching the movie for the first time would never think it was edited any different.

Overall and incredibly enjoyable watch! If you like the Child’s Play series or are even a casual horror fan, check this out for sure. I doubt you’ll be disappointed. Dwight Fry killed it.

This is a very clever fanmix which transforms the classic Child's Play into more of a psychological horror thriller which reminded me, in some parts, of "The Shining" and the very underrated "The Babadook".

From the perfect opening credits to the excellent editing choices (executed flawlessly) this fanmix exceeded my expectations and it will be a replacement copy for me. While the original is a classic in its own right, it still has that gadgety horror vibe from the 80s. This fanmix elevates Child's Play to a true psychological thriller / horror mind-bender while staying true to its canon and its sequels.

Dwight Fry knocked it out of the park with this one. If you want to watch Child's Play again or even if it's your first time, do yourself a favor and watch this one.

This was a great way to watch this movie. My go to version actually. I like how in the first part it feels more psychological before going B Movie slasher on the back end. The cuts were not even noticeable and everything flowed well. A much better movie than the proper cut of this film or the remake could hope to be.
