Meh. It wasn't as good as I was hoping, but it was still passable entertainment. The thing I was most impressed with was Don Mancini's directing job. It was suprisingly fantastic. The opening five minutes is one long POV of Glen (or Glenda), and it's some of the best directing work i've seen in awhile. Mancini also shows a great handling of obscure and abstract lighting. The sets look incredibly fake because of this, but it works so well. I kept thinking the film looked like a live action cartoon. It was amazing. He just has a great and completely original vision. Can't wait to see his work outside of the Child's Play world. Another good thing about the flick was it's abundance of extreme and over the top gore. We get a decapitation with gallons of spurting blood (think Kill Bill), a disembowlment with intestines left steaming on the floor, a disgusting melted face, a badly charred body, and lots of extremely bloody stabbings (blood spraying and spurting out, blood pouring from mouths). It was nice to see a horror film that actually earned it's R rating for once. On the downside of things, the film wasn't nearly as funny as it should have (or could have) been. While I appreciated all of the homages to horror movies of past (The Shining one was great), nothing else really had me laughing or smiling for that matter. The amount of jokes that just fall completely flat is rather alarming. I also found myself simply not caring where the story was headed, which made me lose interest in the film several times. Also, the film is just downright bizarre. Now, normally I love bizarre films, but this was just too... odd. Not in the mindfuck, David Lynch way, but in the "random shit happening for no reason" way. Stuff just comes way out of left field. I can appreciate that to an extent, but it really sucks you out of the film after awhile. Another thing I enjoyed, though, was the final five minutes or so. It was insanely warped. So all in all, I enjoyed SOc to an extent, but it simply wasn't what I thought it would be. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 or a C+. Bride Of Chucky was better.

After not seeing any of the first four movies, I know I am not the most qualified to judge this, but I thought it was pretty good. Can't actually give it more than a B+ though, since it's nothing incredibly new to the genre. I really liked Glen, and thought he/she was a good addition to the movie.

Just saw this baby, and I have to say, this was much better than Bride of Chucky. I also think this was the funniest movie of the year. Literally. It was laugh out loud funny most of the time. The whole thing was just one big comedy. I mean, come on, Chucky's son can do Matrix moves? You're asking for comedy if you want to see that. It was very amusing. Lots of blood and gore packed into this one, horror fans. It's worth a watch, but it's nothing spectacular. Just good, dirty fun.

My Grade: B+

I just finished watching it!, and this movie is a complete joke and pure trash, but i actually enjoyade it!, pretty entertaining and funny!
Bride of Chucky was a million times better in IMO

C+

If "bride is anything to go by, this will be COMPLETE SHITE!

I can't believe this STILL hasn't been released in the UK yet, i will see it when it eventually comes out.

I wasn't expecting much, but I was entertained throughout, so it did its job. Jennifer Tilly was hot as hell, and she's very beautiful. The dolls are hysterial, and Glen or Glenda if you will is a great new addition to the dysfunctional family. It was very gory, which I thought was awesome. I wish more movies had as much as gore as this one did. It also had a few twists, especially the ending. Very cool, but I prefer Bride of Chucky.

C+

It was okay. Terrible on the movie scale, average on the horror scale.

5/10 (C-)

Terrible on the movie scale. Terrible on the horror scale. Terrible on the fruitstand scale. It's just terrible.

D-

I remember being entertained by Bride in 98 (I also enjoy the first film), but this movie just sucks. I am sorry, but for me it was just asinine and utterly stupid.

B-


It's an entertaining Chucky film which is thankfully never meant seriously at any point. John Waters' appearance in this one is hilarious. Sadly the creativity is not present all the time and the movie seriously pales in comparison to its predecessor, Bride of Chucky. It's fun, over-the-top, but Ronnie Yu could do dark comedy better.

Yep -- nowhere near as good as the super comedy classic Bride of Chucky, but still fun - though, nice to see Jennifer Tilly in non-doll form.

3 out of 5.

I know it's obviously not supposed to be taken seriously, but it crosses a point where it just gets awfully lame. What I was expecting was a dark but fun comedy/spoof of itself with some nice gore and all. But it doesn't reach anything remotely close to horror, they completley stray off that path. It turns into something where it's seems like it's trying way too hard, and by god they don't succeed at all. The fact that as a movie in it's screenplay and all is one of the worst that I've ever seen certainly doesn't help either.

And they totally screwed up Chucky in this one. He doesn't look close to what he did in the others, he doesn't seem as believable, and the new voice actor for him was beyond horrible. I actually thought his voice was one of the biggest problems of the film, Chucky doesn't give the menacing funny that he does in the other films, he just sounds like a gigantic lame pussy throughout the entire thing.

Yech. In my soon to be revealed Bottom 50 list in Cinemania.

Did you see the same film as me? Because Chucky looks like always and the voice actor is the same as always, Brad Dourif.

Original Chucky:



Seed of Chucky:



The features are similar, but to me it seems off. In SoC he looks so much more plastic, and when he talked it felt like CGI. I didn't see Bride though, I guess he was the same as SoC in that?

Anyways, it's seriously the same actor? The voice seemed so much more high-pitched in this one, way more lame. Maybe he was instructed to do that for the comedic sake, but IMO it didn't work.

Well, basically in the course of the Chucky series, he's been ripped apart and sewn back together, which is why the change of the look. I think it was in Bride, I am not sure.

Silly, stupid but funny.

I just watched the whole series on AMC, this takes directly after the third film, and Tilly (Who was Chucky's old Girlfriend) steals it and sews him back together. It was more the homage to Frankenstein theme they were going with for the film, and kept it going. I know it's been on your mind for 7 years.

I liked this one, I guess it's hard to really say which kind of Chucky you like more. This one goes for almost straight out lampoon which you have to give it credit for, and it is quite violent as well. Douriff and Tilly are there always underrated great. I'd give it a B as some of the jokes are a little weak, but there's a lot to like about it.
