By far the best of the series (maybe with the first one too) True: The budget is felt. True: The script is incredible. Not perfect? Of course. But the characters are mostly awesome, contrary of what is usually used on horror movies. The plot is quite good, save for some stupid moves here and there. And the acting is perfect from Fiona. Like, maybe this franchise doesn't even deserve such an amazing actress, but of course is welcomed
... View MoreCult of Chucky (2017) This is a horror film, The seventh installment of the franchise. It was written and directed by Don Mancini, who has been director since Seed of Chucky. It stars Brad Dourif as Chucky, and returning cast members from the previous six installments. It received good reviews for being such a late installment. It's a satisfying horror film maintaining the charm of its predecessors, while attempting some innovation.

View MoreConfined to an asylum for the past four years, Nica Pierce is convinced that she, not Chucky, murdered her entire family.But when her psychiatrist introduces a new therapy to facilitate his group sesions, a Good Guy doll, a string of grisly deaths begins to plague the asylum, and Nica starts to wonder if maybe she isn't crazy after all. Andy Barclay, Chucky's original nemesis, races to Nica's aid. But to save her he'll have to get past Tiffany, Chucky's long-ago bride, who will do anything, no matter what, to help her beloved devil doll.The Child's Play films have gone through a strange transition since its debut thirty years ago. You could say that they are three different franchises.The first three films were a trilogy, they were good movies, but by the third, they had run their cause and due to media exploitation, became obsolete.Bride and Seed came later, and I feel that these were made because of the elevated interest in ironic horror thanks to the Scream franchise. Whilst Bride was refreshing and very self aware, Seed was terrible and was just a cash cow.Now these new incarnations are nothing more than straight to Blu Ray movies because the doll has a following, and I feel that these films will go on and on, because like myself, fans of the original films just want want a film in this franchise that will hark back to its heyday.This isn't the one unfortunately. It has some very good ideas, multiple Chucky's is a wonderful inclusion, but the rest of the film is poorly written, with strange characters, and it feels like a weird hash of Cuckoos Nest, and Elm Street 3.The Asylum setting has been done to death, as have sinister doctors, unprofessional nurses, and inmates who may or may not have an ulterior motive.Chucky has some decent scenes, and it alone is the sole reason to see this, but it's a shame that the story had to be convoluted to the point of you not caring less for the characters.It's a shame because out of all the iconic horror characters from the eighties, Chucky is one of the most interesting, but writing hasn't done it justice.
... View MoreThe plot holes in this movie are the size of the grand canyon, now Chucky can possess different people and/or dolls all at once? Where'd he conveniently get that new little skill set? This was obviously filmed with a low budget because the CGI effects were cheesy at best. Please do everyone a favor and lay old Chucky down for good, it was a good run but as I stated IMO the series has ran it's course.
