CURSE OF CHUCKY (2013)
If you read my last
review on SEED OF CHUCKY you know I pretty much hated that thing. BRIDE OF
CHUCKY was not much better. CURSE OF CHUCKY (which you can actually REDBOX
right now) however has just come out and it’s freaking sensational. Everything
about this movie brings back the actual horror feeling we had in the first 2 or
3 installments (apparently I wasn’t the only one feeling they had mailed it in
on this series).
In this one, Chucky has
been mailed from the “Evidence Department” (the Tilly’s house from SEED OF
CHUCKY) to a new house that is creepy as hell. It doesn’t take long before Chucky
is back to his old tricks to a much darker and creeper tone than we have really
ever seen him. Instead of a well known cast almost everyone in this aside from
Jennifer Tilly, (the original Chucky voice and actual Charles Lee Ray and the
original Andy) are mostly unknowns. Lead actress Fiona Dourif (actual real life
daughter of Brad Dourif the dude who voices Chucky) does an incredible job
along with the rest of the cast. I can’t say enough about how I enjoyed this
series finally getting back to its roots.
One of the huge
challenges with this film was that it had to find a way to get back to the
horror levels of the originals but still tie in the entire series. Bring back
the original Andy (wait for the credits to roll) and Jennifer Tilly was the
icing on the cake that fans of both directions in previous films would love.
Aside from Chucky going freakin berserk at the end of CHILDS PLAY 2, this
newest installment (yeah and actual part VI, NOT A REBOOT), is the second best
film in the entire series by hundreds of miles. Like nothing else in the series
even comes close. If you find yourself asking how the cops showed up when no
one had a phone or anything like that. There is a deleted scene called “burn”
that covers this, but for some odd reason it was left out of both cuts of the
film.
For the superb casting,
darker telling of the story, background provided and just sheer thought that
went into this I have to give CURSE OF CHUCKY a solid 6 out of 7.
