![]() (The ghost of a serial killer? Nope, we've never run up against one of those. ![]() This will make him capable of interfacing with all manner of smart devices, opening up lots of interesting opportunities for mayhem and giving an ever-so-slightly more believable quality to a talking, spree-killing doll. The trailers for Child's Play have teased a pretty dark vision of the iconic '80s flick, with a major twist: rather than being inhabited by the spirit of a deceased serial killer (an ultra-'80s trope if ever there was one), the new Chucky - part of the awesomely-named "Buddi" toy line - will be powered by an AI that goes rogue. ![]() (As if we needed another reason to love that guy.) or wouldn't he?" followed by a knife emoji.
