One of the things Curse of Chucky is finally able to figure out is how to present an adult protagonist that would believably be in peril when facing off with a pint sized doll. But the accomplished aesthetics only serve as the launching point for some clever prods at the genre, some fun kills and a thorough grasp on its own franchise roots.

It certainly doesn't bare any resemblance to most home video fare that looks as if it were shot in somebody's basement. The biggest and most pleasant realization I made from the onset is how well crafted Curse of Chucky is, from the art direction that brings life to your typical isolated home (at which our bloody events can transpire) the composition of shots which expertly use every angle in the book to bring complexity to the carnage and its generally polished look. This is a film that knows firmly where it stands and the expectations of its audience and uses those preconceived notions to surprise in a number of ways. Curse of Chucky takes the more gruesome elements that worked so well early on, some of the parodic flare of Bride and then even goes on to subvert horror norms and cliché. Well, you can consider my mouth shut as this is not only a strong, well crafted fright flick, it's easily among the franchise's best entries. Almost 25 years on we now get Curse of Chucky, a direct to home video instalment – a rather unceremonious release which certainly did not instil confidence in this horror fan. Things again took a turn for the worse in Seed of Chucky which aimed to amp up the camp of Bride but it came off as a grating and, ironically, childish. After a seven year hiatus, the surprisingly satirical Bride of Chucky arrived along with a perfect Jennifer Tilly as Chucky's partner in slaughter. The Child's Play saga has seen a similar trajectory, with the 1988 original still standing as a horror classic, it's immediate predecessor coming off as passable but more or less a carbon copy and the third as a junky, bland mess. But Chucky, so too like Jason, Freddy and Michael, these characters have had their fare share of missteps in terms of quality, and in many cases saw their franchises descend into unintentional self parody. Often pushed to a second tier among other iconic horror franchises like Friday the 13th, Halloween and Nightmare on Elm Street, the murderous misadventures of Charles Lee "Chucky" Ray have been just as persistent and influential as those other game changing series. Nica: Oh now I get it! 25 years, must be the slowest murder in history! I mean, what have you been waiting for? A sign from God? You are a male, aren't you?Ĭhucky: Oh, I'm gonna kill you slow! Nica: You know it's called Completion Anxiety. Nica: So, you never actually killed Andy Barclay, did you? You can't call *this* living you've just been on life support. And the truth is, I killed you 25 years ago too, haven't I Nica? This isn't living. He was a whiney little bitch just like you.Ĭhucky: More or less. So to speak!Ĭhucky: You know, you remind me a lot of Andy Barclay. But you know Nica, your family was always my favorite. Since then a lot of families have come and gone the Barclays, the Kincaids, the Tillys.
