After her mother's mysterious death, Nica begins to suspect that the talking, red-haired doll her visiting niece has been playing with may be the key to recent bloodshed and chaos. Curse of Chucky doesn't fix the problems of Bride and Seed of Chucky but makes them even worse plus Chucky's face looked pretty messed up and not in a good way unfortunately. If you liked any of the previous installments? See this one as well but if not? Stick to something else which is actually fun, entertaining and above else? Intelligent unlike this one here. (0/10)
... View More25 years after Charles Lee Ray aka Chucky (voiced and played by Brad Douriff) was gunned down as he transferred his soul into a Good Guy doll and years after the events of Seed of Chucky, a young woman named Nica (Fiona Douriff) who is a wheelchair-bound lady with her mother Sarah (Chantal Quesnelle) receive a mysterious package containing a Good Guy doll. Thus Sarah dies overnight and family members like Nica's bisexual sister Barb (Danielle Bisutti) with her husband Ian (Brennan Elliott) and 7 year old daughter Alice (Summer Howell) with their lesbian nanny Jill (Maitland McConnell) who is having a secret affair with Barb come to visit Nica to comfort her with a visit. Even a priest named Father Frank (A Martinez) is invited to dinner, yet Alice finds the Chucky doll as she wants to keep it but little does she know that Chucky will come to life and murder the house members one by one.This movie is TRULY AN EPIC FAIL ATTEMPT AT A SEQUEL AND PURE GARBAGE! this movie's reviews are a joke with saying stuff like "It's the return of old school chucky to be scary again" but it still failed miserably and has no contrast to the first 3 movies. Don Mancini has managed to write and direct another Chucky film and has screwed up once again with such horrible writing and direction he does here, in this one he wants to try to be "aristic" as it feels out of place for a Chucky film and he wants to be like Argento but he fails miserably. That chili dinner scene i totally despised as it almost went on to make people guess who is eating the poisoned chili, yet what is so artistic about people eating chili? it's a pointless scene. The acting is quite poor except for Fiona Douriff whom is quite decent for an actress who is the daughter of Brad and the child actress is poor too unlike Alex Vincent who back in 1988 was a better kid actor than her. Some of the puppetry is OK by Tony Garner but Chucky looks the worst here and looks like a Bratz doll than Chucky then reveals the scars which are fake looking with the CGI even that horrible looking low budget CGI chucky is terrible as hell. The pacing is poor and the writing is just god-awful as hell like this horrible line "Women...can't live with them period"! i blame both Mancini's direction and writing even his bad use of camera angles. The flashbacks of Chucky's past featuring current Brad in poor make up to make him young which is painful to watch complete with some clips from the original movie thrown in.The kills are quite lame even the phony looking chin slicing which looks quite poor. In the unrated cut you get to see a cameo by Andy whom is played by 31 (back in 2013) year old Alex Vincent and was a total cop out ending which should had been the movie, it should had been a 25 years later style Halloween H2O kind of movie but Mancini screwed things up.This movie deserves zero stars.
... View MoreThe Child's play saga continues in this sixth installment in the series of the diminutive Serial Killer that is cute as a munchkin. We are in Rhode island with the Pierce Family, Widow and Mother Sarah (Chantal Quesnelle) and Nica (Fiona Dourif, the Daughter of Brad Dourif who voices Chucky) a paraplegic since birth. A mysterious large parcel is delivered with Chucky inside, unimpressed with the gift, Sarah dumps the doll in the trash bin (something that Chucky experiences quite a lot over the years). Suddenly Sarah is found dead and the grief stricken Nica gathers the rest of the family together, her condescending and obnoxious Sister Barb (Danielle Bisutti), Ian the Cuckold Husband (Brennan Elliot), Jill the Attractive Nanny (Maitland McConnell) Innocent Alice (Summer Howell in her debut movie) and Father Frank (marvelously played by A Martinez). They share all the memories and stories and had Dinner until Father Frank leaves to go back to St Paul's Church in a hurry in strange circumstances, after he is gone the family caught sight of an unknown stranger who is actually the Human "Chucky" Charles Lee Ray the Lakeshore Strangler in Ray Ban sunglasses in their old tape reels, when Barb and Nica's Father mysteriously drowns like Vivienne van Pelt who's body is found in the river (Chucky mentions her in Bride of Chucky) as possible offerings to Damballah who is the west African and Haitian Serpent God of rain and water surroundings. As Nica has hunches and notions that led her to play detective as she explores deep into the realms of urban legend and scary camp fire ghost myth about a particular doll possessed by the angry and vengeful spirit of a Voodoo practising Serial Killer, she makes more gruesome discoveries as the film continues as she finds out Charles Lee Ray took an unhealthy interest to her heavily pregnant mother, Sarah, back in the Eighties as flashbacks.Don Mancini can make masterpieces which is why Chucky flicks are a movie goer's most watched saga in every country as the most enjoyed entertainment. This is a brilliant, apologetically brutal, and dazzling sequel that is better than Bride and Seed, you can get away with watching Child's play 3 and go straight to watching this and you can still catch up on the story. Good music score and lighting, I love the setting of the haunted house feeling and pan angle shots, the best is the Dinner scene like a Russian roulette, and you see artsy shots of chomping mouths guzzling the gazpacho wondering who is going to die and the cast is teasing the audience, the death scenes are creative and well thought through with effort put in to create the film. Chucky displayed clever premeditated revenge as he continues to keep his promise since the original movie and still wants to claim a human body to transport his soul. Fiona Dourif puts on an incredible performance and is emulating her Father in this movie, her beauty and heroine role resembles him in looks and intensity in one flew over the cuckoo's nest. Watch out for the surprise ending after the credits roll which will lead us to "Cult of Chucky" as the next sequel
... View MoreFor any horror fans, there are plenty of well known slasher villains we all know and love. Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, Leatherface, Ghostface, Michael Myers, and everyone's favorite killer doll Chucky. I have been a fan of the Child's Play movies for years. I love the first one, I like Child's Play 2 and 3, I actually really enjoy Bride of Chucky, and Seed of Chucky? Uh...yeah. Now we have this film. I was excited that there was going to be another Child's Play movie and it was going to go back to the darker tone of the first one. But, the big question is: what do I think about it?First off all, the acting is very good. All the actors do a very good job in their roles. Brad Dourif as always shines in his role of Chucky and is great. The death scenes are awesome. Chucky as always comes up with great ways to kill his victims. There are a couple very good scenes in this movie. Including a flashback scene that shows how Chucky got into the position he was and it's very well done. I did also like how this went back to the darker tone of the first movie...but unfortunately the good stuff stops there. The rest? Not so good...My first problem with Curse of Chucky, are the characters. Now the Child's Play movies have had unlikable characters before. Like Detective Mike Norris from Child's Play, Phil from Child's Play 2, and John Ritter's character from Bride of Chucky. But in this film? All the characters except for The Main Character, Chucky, and the little girl. Are ALL unlikable. I hated the majority of the characters in this movie and I was happy to see them get killed by Chucky, and that is not good. It's not good. We should like the characters not hate them! Now that I brought up Chucky this brings me to my next problem.The Effects done on Chucky are horrendous. There are so many times where you can tell that Chucky is CGI and it's noticeable. Sometimes his mouth doesn't match up to what he's saying. Also, there are scenes where you can tell that a child or dwarf is playing him. Like when he's walking down stairs or when they do an overhead shot and from that overhead shot you can tell it's a dwarf or child. Speaking of the CGI there is a scene where the CG chucky is walking down stairs and not only is the CG very noticeable you hear Chucky laughing and his mouth isn't moving. I don't want to hear from people "It's a low budget film back off" that still doesn't give the excuse to give your audience poor and noticeably bad effects. My Next problem is the after credits scene. Now, I did like how it wrapped up the series and it gave us closure to Andy Barkley. I liked it. There are a lot of nice nods to the originals like seeing a graduation certificate from Kent Military Academy from Child's Play 3, we saw a picture of Kyle from Child's Play 2, and...we found out that Andy's mom married detective Mike Norris....she married the asshole that sent her to a mental hospital...I think the only reason they did that was to tie up the series and it did kinda work.Also, the movie isn't creepy or scary at all. There is some tension and some build up here and there but however: we have jump scares. Which I hate. Also, the ending is pretty anti climatic if you don't count the after credits scene. Our main character is sent off to a mental hospital and Chucky tracks down the little girl and plans on possessing her. She asks where Grandmother is and he says she's in the basement then Chucky begins to play hide the soul and JUMPSCARE the grandmother pops up...and that's it. Pretty anti-climatic.Overall guys, I had hope for this movie. I wanted it to be very dark and creepy just like the fist movie. While it was dark, it wasn't creepy. I was disappointed in this film. Very disappointed. While it is better than Seed of Chucky, it's still mediocre. As much as I thought the killers were good, the acting was good, Chucky was awesome, and there were a few good scenes scattered throughout. This is not a good entry in this series. It has unlikable characters, no scares, the after credits scene was kinda frustrating, and the effects on Chucky were God awful. I do respect that this movie has a fan base and I understand why people like it. I just personally don't like it and thought it was mediocre. If you're a fan of this series and you want something to wash the bad taste of Seed of Chucky out of your mouth than this movie's for you. Rating: 2/5=Mediocre
