Very best movie i ever watch
One of my all time favorites.
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
After nearly a decade, we get Curse of Chucky! But the director & creator looking at the 2 pathetic sequels after Child's Play 3, acknowledged the critics & fans plea for a serious Child's Play film & so he gets on top of it & does it! This film was in talks of making after I watched all 5 back in 2012 so to hear that another was being made was epic & excited me to say the least when they mentioned that it was going back to the way things were before Bride of Chucky!But I beg to differ that after watching, the 6th installment, Curse of Chucky, didn't really deliver in the way that Id' hoped! I mean the sequel was far better than the last 2, but lacked the late 80's early 90's horror feel the first 3 films had!Long story short, I wanted to like this film, but couldn't due to the fact that it lacked what I mentioned above! But hey compared to Bride & Seed, this film craps all over those films. But compared to the first 3 films including Child's Play 3, nope, this film sadly falls flat.The story-line wasn't bad & the kills were alright. But in terms of creativity, the filmed lacked badly. It could've been better. but I did like the prequel story-line to the film, but that in itself felt forced & put on. Overall not amazing, but hey, better than Bride & Seed, though doesn't come close to Child's Play 1 2 & (especially) 3! 6/10
After the dreadful 'Bride of Chucky' and almost unwatchable 'Seed of Chucky', this was indeed a welcome breath of life for the franchise. The story was good and the acting very good, and quite nice music, too. The film offered the same thrills and suspense that made the original such a classic. It's also nice to still have Brad Dourif voice Chucky. It just won't be the same without him.
The first Chucky film to be released direct-to-video is surprisingly good and also takes a surprising change of tone, abandoning the black comedy of the prior two films and going back to the straight horror of the first three films. Written and directed by Don Mancini, who's written every installment since the first film, brings style and suspense to this entry, and breaths renewed life into the franchise. But to recap, the first "Chid's Play" is straight horror and is a classic, but Child's Play 2 and 3 were straight horror films and pretty awful. Mancini reinvigorated the franchise with "Bride of Chucky" and "Seed of Chucky" by adding overt humor and heaps of over-the-top gore. It worked for me and brought me back to the franchise, but inappropriate puppet behavior only goes so far. In this sixth entry, a wheelchair bound Fiona Dourif (daughter of Brad Dourif, who plays Charles Lee Ray / Chucky) mysteriously receiving a Good Guy Doll in the mail and also visited by her unpleasant sister and her family, including her innocent young niece who is delighted by the red-headed doll. As with the first film, Chucky is primarily shown as an inanimate doll until the end of the film when he cuts loose and it's a doozey when he does. "Curse of Chucky" is a decidedly low budget film, taking place almost entirely in one location, but the special effects are equal any of the bigger budgeted prior films, which was the best place for this film to spend this film's limited budget. With music by Joseph LoDuca and with (SPOILER ALERT!) a fun cameo at the end by Tiffany (Jennifer Tilley) and an adult Andy Barclay (Chucky's child foe in the original film), this was a surprisingly strong sequel and well worth watching for fans of this franchise.
Back when this came out, I wasn't too good at writing reviews. I just wrote a review on Cult recently. Great acting and story line. Fiona Dourif is hot and talented. Glad to see Andy (Alex Vincent) back even for just two minutes after the credits. And how prepared he was against Chucky this time. "Play with this." BANG!!! I can tell how hard Don Mancini busted his ass choosing the right cast and making almost everything right! Although I wish Chuckys face had been literally clear and new instead of hiding the scars. And what happened to his bleeding? Luckily annoying Jennifer Tilly was only in the movie for one short scene. But I'm glad we don't have comedy for this one, so this ones awesome!
