In it, the puppet was not possessed-it was killing because of a virus that took over its artificial intelligence system after a case of industrial sabotage. In all, the seminal “Toy Killer” yielded six sequels, the last from 2017, and a remake that, two years ago, ignored the franchise’s mythology and tried to restart the plot from scratch.
Since 1988, Chucky has been making victims in creative ways. This shouldn’t shock anyone who is used to the doll. It lights up a loose wire and the doll’s evil face, which spews gallons of bile onto the floor, causing the character to be electrocuted to death. Barefoot, he fiddles with a few buttons and a light comes on. In the first death we see in “Chucky”, a man walks into the power board of his house, which has suddenly gone dark. Chucky, after all, is one of the most iconic characters in slasher, a subgenre of horror in which an assassin kills countless victims in a very explicit and often absurd way. Not that violence should be the answer to bullying, but the screenwriter and director operates in a terrain where the only rule is the more blood, the better. On my social media, where the people who went to school with me are, I can rub this show in their face and finally say ‘being gay is cool'”, says Mancini, himself a homosexual, who sees history as “poetic justice”. “This show is a big middle finger for the guys who stalked me in high school. The creature, who would say, seems to have a heart and decides to protect the boy from the bullies in his life, starting a new season of grotesque murders. In the series named after the toy serial killer, which debuts on Star+ this Wednesday, we follow Jake, a teenager who wants to be an artist and has a predisposition to create works with pieces of old dolls, which makes him a freak to the eyes of the popular cousin, a poor girl for the schoolgirl and a “faggot” for her father, who was widowed a few years ago.īut at a garage sale, the protagonist, who is in fact gay, meets Chucky, the puppet possessed by the spirit of a murderer introduced to the public in “Killer Toy”, and decides to keep him. At 58, however, he decided to put his most famous character to symbolically take revenge on the bullies - Chucky, the killer puppet he created for the cinema in 1988, now invades television to protect his tormented owner. This was true when Don Mancini was growing up in the 1970s, and it remains true today. Bullying and assaulting colleagues has always been and continues to be a frequent practice in high school corridors, so much so that the figure of the depressed, lonely and persecuted young man is commonplace in teen movies and series. Historically, bullying is an almost inseparable part of school life, no matter how harmful.
