Genny - I'm not gonna say it's better than Child's Play, but I would still put Child's Play 2 in the same sentence unlike anything ending in "of Chucky"... Oh wait, shit! Anyway, the sequel takes a campy approach to the lore of Chucky intentionally and it works. When Chucky impersonated the Tommy doll is the first time I burst out laughing at anything in this project. However despite this being a bit more comedic than the original it goes heavier on the slasher horror. I ended up feeling bad for Andy and Kyle's foster parents even though the dad was kind of a dick. 7.8/10

Inviso - Okay sowhy the FUCK would you, a major toy company, decide to repurpose a burned and mangled Good Guy doll that is potentially connected with multiple homicides? I dont care what dumbassed PR scheme you have in mind, but just let it fucking GO. Anyway, this movie winds up extremely goofy, right from the first kill being that of an electrocuted factory worker who gets backflipped through a plate glass window. And its kinda fucked up in just how psychologically damaging the whole thing is bound to be for Andy. No one believes him, hes tormented by a killer doll, and even more people die all around him. Plus, some of the adults that die are just CARTOONISHLY awful (specifically Andys teacher and his foster father).

Ill give credit thoughChuckie is genuinely unsettling. And some of the kills are really creative (including murdering Chuckie like, three times in the Good Guy factory). Oh! And also, I like how they didnt turn Kyle into a completely one-note bitch, but rather she kinda understood the shit Andy was going through, and gave him slack more often than not. Also, I felt really bad for Joanne. It seemed like she either couldnt have kids of her own, or didnt feel like her husband would make for a good father, but she seemed to genuinely care for Andy and Kyle, only snapping once her husband died. I wish she hadnt been killed so callously, but at least is was off-screen, so we didnt have to watch her suffer.

Charon - All the gleeful gore that is Chucky, this time without the elements of suspense or mystery. A lot of these horror franchises exist because their lead, that is their villain, is such a powerful onscreen presence. Chucky's mere appearance in a film, usually, is enough to get people interested and you can at least expect a quality performance that can't really be duplicated by Brad Dourif. This film drops the tense atmosphere of the first one by just showing you Chucky doing evil things immediately. It makes the film much less interesting than the original, but still good enough to be enjoyed for the mindless series of deaths that it is.

Listen, suffering is a fact of life. Either you learn how to deal with that or you go under.
