Set in the unforgiving winter of Chicago, 1988. The city is at the height of consumerism and urban decay. Charles Lee Ray, the "Lakeshore Strangler," is a desperate serial killer and voodoo practitioner. After being mortally wounded in a shootout with police inside a toy store, he uses an ancient Damballa amulet to transfer his soul into a trendy "Good Guy" doll. The film focuses on Karen Barclay, a widowed single mother working double shifts at a department store, struggling to survive the recession. She buys the stolen doll in an alley for her lonely 6-year-old son, Andy. The terror builds slowly: it's not just a doll killing people; it's a sadistic adult killer trapped in a plastic body, psychologically manipulating a child and isolating the mother, making her look insane to the police. The film utilizes state-of-the-art animatronics and puppetry (similar to Grogu or modern Jurassic films) to make Chucky a terrifying physical presence, relying on zero CGI for the doll's movement.
