Child's Play is a 2019 horror film written by Tyler Burton Smith and directed by Lars Klevberg. A remake of the 1988 film of the same name and a reboot of the Child's Play franchise, it follows a family terrorized by a high-tech doll who becomes self-aware and subsequently murderous. The film stars Aubrey Plaza, Gabriel Bateman, Brian Tyree Henry, Tim Matheson, David Lewis and Mark Hamill as the voice of Chucky. It is an international co-production of the United States and Canada.

The development of a Child's Play remake was announced in July 2018. Klevberg signed on as director from a script by Burton Smith, saying in an interview he drew inspiration from the 1982 science fiction film, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Principal photography lasted from September to November 2018 in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Child's Play was theatrically released in the United States on June 21, 2019, by Orion Pictures through United Artists Releasing. The film received mixed reviews and grossed $45 million worldwide against a $10 million budget. Currently, a sequel is in development.

The multinational Kaslan Corporation has just launched Buddi, a revolutionary line of high-tech dolls designed to be life-long companions to their owners, learning from their surroundings, and acting accordingly, quickly becoming a success for children worldwide. At an assembly factory in Vietnam, an employee is fired by his supervisor for insufficient work. In retaliation, the employee manipulates the Buddi doll that he is assembling by disabling all of its safety protocols, before committing suicide. The doll is packed alongside others in preparation for international delivery.

In Chicago, Illinois, retail clerk Karen Barclay and her 13-year-old hearing-impaired son, Andy, have moved into their new apartment. In an attempt to cheer Andy up and make up for the unease cause by the relocation and her new boyfriend Shane, Karen blackmails her boss in order to procure a defective Buddi doll, giving it to Andy as an early birthday gift. Once Andy activates the doll, it names himself "Chucky" and becomes attached to his owner. Over time, Chucky helps Andy befriend two other kids in the building — Falyn and Pugg — but also begin to display violent tendencies. For instance, he tries to strangle the Barclays' pet cat after it scratches Andy, and one night, while he and his friends gleefully watch a horror film, Chucky starts mimicking the violence on the screen and approaches the trio with a kitchen knife before Andy disarms him.

The next morning, Andy arrives home to find that his cat is dead; Chucky admits to having killed it so that it would not hurt him anymore. Karen locks the doll in a closet, but he escapes and terrorizes Shane, which leads him to confront Andy. After overhearing Andy's pleas for Shane to disappear, Chucky follows him home, where it is revealed that Shane has a family and has been having an affair with Karen behind his wife's back. While Shane is outside taking down Christmas lights, Chucky breaks his legs and activates a tiller that scalps and kills him. The following day, Chucky delivers Shane's skinned face as a gift to a horrified Andy.

While police detective Mike Norris and his partner Willis begin an investigation, Andy, Falyn and Pugg disable Chucky and throw him in the garbage. Building voyeur and electrician Gabe finds the doll and takes him to the basement to prepare him for an online sale. Now fully repaired, Chucky tortures and murders Gabe with a table saw. After making his way back to the ground level, Chucky lands in possession of another kid named Omar and proceeds to kill Norris' mother, Doreen, in a controlled car crash. Meanwhile, Andy fails to convince Karen that the doll has become murderous, and she takes Andy along to her next shift work at the local shopping mall to keep him nearby.

Suspecting that Andy is the killer, Norris and Willis travel to the mall and apprehend him just as Chucky takes full control of the building. Chaos is unleashed as several employees and customers are brutally killed by rampaging Buddi dolls while Chucky triggers the mall's lockdown sequence. Amid the massacre, Willis is murdered, Norris is wounded, and Andy and his friends manage to reach the exit, only for Andy to be forced to return when Chucky reveals that he is holding Karen hostage, intending to kill her. Andy manages to free his mother while being attacked by Chucky, before stabbing the doll in his power cell, deactivating him. While paramedics tend Karen, Norris, and other survivors outside the mall, the kids destroy and burn Chucky's body in a nearby alleyway.

In the aftermath of Chucky's killing spree, Kaslan Corporation CEO Henry Kaslan issues a statement regarding Chucky's programming, announcing a massive Buddi dolls recall. As one of the dolls is being placed into storage, its eyes flicker red and smiles, revealing that Chucky transferred his A. I. awareness into a new doll.
