Such a frustrating disappointment
Pretty Good
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
I thought the movie was horrible. I didn't get why they used the old chucky in the first one and not use the chucky they uses when he had his arm chopped off by Glenn. It would look scarier cause his arm was cut off and he only had 1 arm... So basically the movie sucked!!!
Cult of Chucky (2017) This is a horror film, The seventh installment of the franchise. It was written and directed by Don Mancini, who has been director since Seed of Chucky. It stars Brad Dourif as Chucky, and returning cast members from the previous six installments. It received good reviews for being such a late installment. It's a satisfying horror film maintaining the charm of its predecessors, while attempting some innovation.
Confined to an asylum for the past four years, Nica Pierce is convinced that she, not Chucky, murdered her entire family.But when her psychiatrist introduces a new therapy to facilitate his group sesions, a Good Guy doll, a string of grisly deaths begins to plague the asylum, and Nica starts to wonder if maybe she isn't crazy after all. Andy Barclay, Chucky's original nemesis, races to Nica's aid. But to save her he'll have to get past Tiffany, Chucky's long-ago bride, who will do anything, no matter what, to help her beloved devil doll.The Child's Play films have gone through a strange transition since its debut thirty years ago. You could say that they are three different franchises.The first three films were a trilogy, they were good movies, but by the third, they had run their cause and due to media exploitation, became obsolete.Bride and Seed came later, and I feel that these were made because of the elevated interest in ironic horror thanks to the Scream franchise. Whilst Bride was refreshing and very self aware, Seed was terrible and was just a cash cow.Now these new incarnations are nothing more than straight to Blu Ray movies because the doll has a following, and I feel that these films will go on and on, because like myself, fans of the original films just want want a film in this franchise that will hark back to its heyday.This isn't the one unfortunately. It has some very good ideas, multiple Chucky's is a wonderful inclusion, but the rest of the film is poorly written, with strange characters, and it feels like a weird hash of Cuckoos Nest, and Elm Street 3.The Asylum setting has been done to death, as have sinister doctors, unprofessional nurses, and inmates who may or may not have an ulterior motive.Chucky has some decent scenes, and it alone is the sole reason to see this, but it's a shame that the story had to be convoluted to the point of you not caring less for the characters.It's a shame because out of all the iconic horror characters from the eighties, Chucky is one of the most interesting, but writing hasn't done it justice.
Just finished watching Cult of Chucky & have to say it was disappointing & not all as great as I thought it was going to be. I mean the film as a whole was "ever so slightly" better than Curse of Chucky, but only by a whisker as this film wasn't all that different from it's 2013 predecessor. The film carries on from the events of the previous with Mica, who is now in a mental hospital after recently being transferred. She still believes the Chucky Doll is real while everyone around thinks she is crazy as the Doll is nothing but a "fantasy" to them & the authorities.The film sees some iconic characters returning, with Alex Vincent as Andy Barclay & of course Brad Dourif with the voice of Charles Lee Ray/Chucky, not to mention Brads daughter, Fiona, returning from the previous film as Mica. The film was decent enough for what it was. Though it wasn't anything special. It took place in the asylum for most of the film with other scenes taking place in either Andy's house & the restaurant at the start of the film, aside from them 2, it's pretty as confined as the setting of the film is. The deaths were OK, 1 of which was pretty creative. While the others weren't all that. They weren't "Dark" or "Sinister" enough. We need the REAL Chucky for crying out loud! Where's the vicious killings? The stabbing? The grim, yet dark deaths he carried out on his victims!? I miss them! Badly!I also feel the issue with this film (like the previous) is that it lacks the old school feel of the late 80's early 90's! That feeling which is absent in these sequels which although are miles better than Bride of Chucky & Seed of Chuck especially! Though them films didn't feel "tacky" if that makes sense? But I'd have to say Child's Play 1 2 & 3 (especially) are the best ones!The story-line which was alright just had a dumb arse twist at the end which was both politically correct & just dumb & weird! I mean, what ever happened to a straight forward story-line with Andy rescuing Mica from the asylum? Hm? No it has to be a less off session with Chucky's GF along with another weird yet confusing revelation! I did like the post credits scene, but even then, that couldn't save this film from getting any better!The gore was decent enough, but could've been better! You'd of thought for today's generation in films being modern, that Chucky would dominate it, sadly not & this film wasn't much of an improvement over Curse of Chucky, which was quite disappointing!I hear there's an 8th instalment of Child's Play coming & shock shock horror horror shock shock horror... is set in outer-F**kin'- space! Seriously? I mean this film itself was 87 minutes long yet we couldn't get some easy straight forward story-line with some gruesome Chucky class deaths? No, of course we can't! Overall the film wasn't all that, it was disappointing considering the new age we live in & the anticipation of what could've been a good horror film with a classic Chucky laced into it! Overall, 4/10
