Review of Curse of Chucky (2013) by Shawn P — 28 Jun 2016

The day has come! I finally get to see CURSE OF CHUCKY!!! How this movie didn't even get a theatrical release is beyond me, especially with all the PG-13 shit in the theatres now a days. I wasn't sure what to expect from this movie but hoped it would turn out good, writer Don Mancini promised he would not disappoint fans! He was right! All I can say without spoiling anything is if your a fan of Child's Play you will NOT be disappointed! If you don't like the movie you deserve a punch in the head, The movie goes back to basics, it's dark, it's eerie, a lot of first- person point of view filming with classic Chucky hiding and stalking, the score is creepy and it's a fun 80's feel movie with some gory death scenes. The CGI was minimal, thank god, they only CGI'd Chucky early on when he was more of a human looking doll, once exposed, showing his stitched up face (from having fallen into the fan at the end of Child's Play 3) it's basically just a mechanical doll.

There are some exciting surprises along the way! Props go to Don Mancini for writing such a great script that follows the Chucky storyline and for giving fans what they want! Brad Dourif once again voices Chucky, and his real life daughter Fiona Dourif also stars. We get a lot of classic lines that feel like deja-vu; "Hide The Soul" and "Close your eyes and count to 7 when you awake you'll be in heaven" Chucky speeches. I have to give the movie 4.5/5. Near perfect for any Child's play fan!!!!!!

~~~~~SPOILERS; DON'T READ ON~~~~~~It was great to see the purpose to why Chucky was sent to this house in the first place, and the story lines that tie it all together. You of course see Brad Dourif as himself "Charles Lee Ray" and there are flashbacks that show you before the original Child's Play film and why Charles Lee Ray was killed in the toy store before putting his soul in the doll from the original film. The cameo of Jennifer Tilly was fun! She actually sends the doll to a now adult Andy Barclay; played by the original Andy from Child's Play 1 & 2 Alex Vincent!!!!!!!!!!! I almost fell off the couch! You have to stay until after the credits though......
