Chucky appears to be the doll du jour, given all the buzz surrounding the Child's Play reboot [1] and an upcoming TV show [2] based on the murderous toy. But while we're still waiting on more details about the latter, a few creepy trailers for the reboot have arrived, and we're sufficiently freaked out.
The film is a contemporary reimagining of the 1988 horror classic, starring Parks and Recreation's Aubrey Plaza as Karen, a single mother who unknowingly gifts her son, Andy (Gabriel Bateman), with a Buddi doll that has a far more sinister nature than anyone realizes. Setting the film in the current day also means that Chucky has a deeply terrifying advantage this time around: there's a WiFi symbol on his box, which leads us to think the internet will play a part in this version of Chucky's possession (on the side of the box, you can even see instructions about connecting Chucky to a tablet, remote, or laptop).
Atlanta's Brian Tyree Henry appears in the film as Detective Norris, and It producers David Katzenberg and Seth Grahame-Smith are also on board. Watch the latest trailer above before it sneaks into theaters on June 21!
