Completely unoriginal


• Basic premise (a serial killer transferring his consciousness upon death) is similar to “Child’s Play”. In fact, the ultimate goal of Chucky was to transfer his soul into a small boy.

• The biggest scare (the boy running towards his mom and turning into a man) is swiped from Mario Bava’s “Shock” (1977).

• The ending, where the mom is killed in the woods by some random farmer dude while trying to execute her evil son is the same as "Jenifer", the fourth episode of the first season of “Masters of Horror”, directed by Dario Argento.

• The downer ending with the evil kid being placed with a foster family is reminiscent of too many other films to list.

It kind of sucks that people can get away with making these kind of horror films, that are basically a pastiche of other (better) films that are too old for most teenagers to have seen them.
