Review of Bride of Chucky (1998) by Greg C — 13 Jun 2009

Chucky's back for another dose of mayhem and death - and this time he isn't alone!!!!

After the let-down that was 'Child's Play 3' it seeemed that the franchise was dead, but after a seven year break we are served up 'The Bride Of Chucky', and what a treat it is too!! What could have been just another dreary sequel, is instead a delightful romp through madness, mayhem and murder. This film cannot be classed as a horror film, as it has it's tongue firmly placed in it's mouth - in fact I find it really difficult to pin it to one genre (horror / comedy / romance / fantasy). Brad Dourif returns as Chucky and really throws himself into the role, and the introduction of Jennifer Tilly as Tiffany is a work of genius. The story is a bit run-of-the-mill, but viewers will be glued to the chemistry between the two villains. This movie re-invented the 'Child's Play' franchise and I strongy urge you to watch it!!!!
