I have to say, while I had no positive expectations for this film whatsoever, it was a fair bit better than I thought it was going to be. Its far from a masterpiece, but a fun cheesy horror experience. Although I have no real love for the Chucky character, this film does a good job of convincing you of the premise and justifying its existence. Its well paced, has a lot of laughs, and there is genuine tension in the final confrontation. It also has some alright disability representation which is lacking in film in general, though not a disabled actor. With all that said, I dont want to oversell it too much. You can see where everything is going a mile off. Not only are the deaths predictable, but you can easily guess the exact order in which people die. The film goes at a decent pace until the third act where it crams in a frankly absurd amount of plot, the film seems to have six or seven endings. Also while the character who appeared near the ending was fun, they feel like they are from an entirely different genre. This makes sense given that supposedly Chucky had been more if a comedy series before this one got hack to its roots. Also the version I watched lacked the post-credits scene which really makes a huge difference. Overall this is a very conventional film. Its fun though I never would have watched it if not for this project. Im glad I did, but I could live without it. Oh and the whole bury-your-gays thing was bad, but the twist with the nanny affair was so absurd it made me laugh, silly stuff. 3/5 Biggest scare: That lasf fight between Chucky and Nica was genuinely thrilling in a way the rest wasnt. There was a proper tension to it. FFDragon - Post-credits scene is the saving grace of this thing. Johnbobb - Snake would prefer you believe that he selected this film for the 2010s horror list because he considers it to be "important" or "influential" but you should know that this is, of course, a falsity. Curse of Chucky was added to this list solely out of spite for the way I insulted the two godawful living doll movies. I see through your thinly veiled attempt at vengeance Snakes, and I'm not having it. --- I've decided to put my fears behind me. I'm not going back. https://www.instagram.com/horror_obscurities/ ...
