 | (Reviewed by MarcoBeltrami) - Okay, let me first say I can guarantee the
masses will shit upon this movie. That said, I loved it.
I always look forward to how Chucky will come back to life in each sequel,
and this one indeed was an original and actually tricky idea.
The camerawork in the opening scene which shall remain unnamed was
extraordinary, out of 4 or 5 minutes of footage at most there were 2 cuts
from a steadicam shot. Impressive to say the very least.
So what do we know? Chucky and Tiffany are back, they have a son, Glen. What
we have heard about in word of mouth preview was that "Glen" is
gender confused, he is NOT anatomically correct like Chucky and Tiff. He is
"Glen" to Chucky and "Glenda" to Tiffany, and the jokes
that result throughout the movie through this idea are one of the many
highlights of the funniest Child's Play yet.
Why will people shit on this movie? Because its different than the rest,
just as Bride was. How many times do YOU want to see Chucky trying to get
into a human body, fail, repeat, I mean it gets old, and it gets old fast!
Part 3 was a sure sign of that! Anyhow, Chucky and Tiffany plan to take over
Jennifer Tilly's body and the body of her boyfriend, but first want to
ensure that she is pregnant so that they will have a body for Glen, or ...
Glenda.
There were not many kills in this, maybe seven or eight; but there were
a few good ones. Some involved a little cheese, but frankly if you expect
100 % realism when watching a story about killer dolls trying to possess
people, you deserve a smack.
Without spoiling plot points or the story any further, lets just end with
saying Glen does NOT want to be a killer, he is gentle, but his dreams are
of horrible acts done by his own hands. By the end of the movie he still has
a problem with it, but he does get a little in. There is a relatively huge
plot twist involving Glen, that I honestly thought was a nice creative end.
Chucky has a very potent rant at the end that will hit many fans of this
series and make them say "About time!" but again, not saying what 
The very end of the movie had quite a few surprises, some predictable and
others not so. This was a very funny movie with alot of human situations
that dolls are living through, so if you can't handle some originality, go
watch Child's Play 1-3 over and over instead. If like me you like for a
sequel to be different even if not completely true to the predecessors, go
see Seed of Chucky. Was it flawed? Sure. Was it entertaining throughout?
Absolutely. 8/10 |
| (Reviewed by Preppy) - I wanted to like this...but couldn't. The
son (voice of Billy Boyd) of Chucky (voice of Brad Dourif) and Tiffany
(voice of Jennifer Tilly) is (somehow) playing a dummy in England. He's
miserable, is an orphan and wants to know who his parents are. He sees Chuck
and Tiffany on TV, realizes they're his parents and runs to America to be
with them. There he revives their evil spirits and the three decide to
become a real family...and go after the actress Jennifer Tilly and others to
take over their bodies and become human again....
Sounds good but this fails on almost every level. It isn't even remotely
scary (even the gore was dull) or very funny. Director and writer Don
Mancini wrote all the other "Child's Play" movies--his last
("Bride of Chucky") was GREAT but he drops the ball on this one.
It's also his directorial debut--it shows. The guy seems unsure of how to
stage even the most simple scenes. The plot has its moments, but it meanders
all over the place...halfway through I was totally lost! And something is
seriously wrong when you have John Waters do a cameo and even HE isn't
funny! I was bored most of the time and there are at least FOUR
climaxes---all bad.
There are a FEW saving graces. The special effects that have the dolls
moving and talking are incredible; Billy Boyd is actually hilarious with
just his voice; Tilly (wisely) doesn't take her role too seriously; Dourif
is great (as always) playing Chucky; there are a few very funny in jokes for
horror film fans and Steve Lawton is really hot in his small role. Also the
film is refreshingly pro-gay.
But that's not enough to recommend it. It fails as a horror film and a
comedy. I give it a 4/10. |
