Review of Bride of Chucky (1998) by Macey F — 22 Apr 2016

I tried to like this, as its plot was certainly quirky and would surely make for some good comedy moments. Indeed there were a few but by the end I was bored and watching this hardly felt like it was worth the effort. What can I say? Chucky just isn't a very endearing character now, is he?

I like the premise and Jennifer Tilly's voice is great for the role but I don't particularly like Chucky or, by extension, the film's overall sense of humour. I rolled my eyes more than I sniggered or laughed and the film's tongue-in-cheek nature didn't seem to make it any less-unappealing to me.

I like the low-budget wacky horror genre as much as the next person but Chucky feels dull and lame here. There's nothing particularly thrilling about the violence and it really just felt as if all of the boxes were being systematically ticked. Hardly an exciting experience. Why would I watch this when Evil Dead 2 exists?
