It seems especially in the horror genre nearly everything lately is regurgitated and advertised as something new. Blumhouse does this more than anyone lately and yet still manages to rake in profits from mostly generation z unfamiliar with the old classic horror films that came long before. The glaring similarities and material borrowing comes from basically every Chucky film, though it's presented in a way that's more appetizing to the newer tik tok gen z crowd. Not saying the film isn't still executed solidly or isn't effective. It just feels like such an obvious rewrapping of an old classic. The film itself has a solid enough story and decently intriguing visuals to keep it interesting. The acting is subpar at times but the shock value makes up for it. The true issues lay in the blatant lack of originality toward the overall product. Slight futuristic advancements in plot points and cgi can only differentiate from the old so much when something feels so familiar.
