One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

... View MoreIf you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

... View MoreOkay, the puppet actually looks worse than before but...BUT....Curse of Chucky is the first film in this franchise that feels like a horror movie and not like a horrorcomedy gone wrong. That said, of course the filmmakers use stereotypical element from horror and especially puppet horror movies (I always wonder why kids seem to like horrible looking monster puppets and not the nice looking ones). But there are some nice camera shots and killings in this kind of a reboot since everything is told again, even Chuckys birth (in a flashback). Curse of Chucky is part a introduction to a new generation of Chucky "fans" (if there are any) and part a revision of the elements for which the series is most known. As said, if you have seen all the movies before this, Curse of Chucky is actually okay.
... View MoreUsually when you say a movie feels Just as much like a remake as a sequel it's a bad thing. But this was simply a delight.Chucky is an excellent horror villain and as much as I enjoyed "Bride" and "Seed" this is a return to his roots; to give him the chilling horror tale he deserves.Yes, it's old school creepy mansion stuff but the effect is in the details as we rediscover Chucky through the eyes of a fresh protagonist discovering him for the first time as he goes from an innocuous object to the menace he really is. And you won't be disappointed if you want to see Chucky's attitude shine through.It isn't the continuation of the previous movie some might be expecting but it's an excellent yarn that will satisfy both fans and newcomers.I would even say skip the first movie completely. It was really just the freshness and charisma of Chucky himself that made that movie famous at all in the first place. It's not technically very well made.
... View MoreI saw CURSE OF CHUCKY getting positive reviews on here but I have no idea why. I appreciate that the series went back to its serious horror roots after the inanity of SEED OF CHUCKY, but instead this just plays out as a typical slow-paced horror flick set in one of those gloomy old mansions. Fiona Dourif, daughter of Brad, plays the wheelchair-bound lead, but the plot quickly descends into tedium after the well-written opening sequence. An unlikeable cast of characters are eventually bumped off in cheap gruesome ways while Chucky is his usual wisecracking killer self. The whole thing feels like a pale imitation of the original trilogy but there really is nothing new to see here.
... View MoreNica is disabled since birth living with her overbearing mother. They are surprised with a delivery of a Chucky doll. The mother dies mysteriously and is ruled a suicide. Nica's sister Barb arrives to care for her. She brings along her husband Ian, daughter Alice, and au pair Jill. With money trouble, Barb wants to sell the house for her half of the inheritance. Alice finds Chucky and immediately takes to him. Father Frank joins them for dinner and gets poisoned by Chucky. The poison kicks in and he's decapitated in a car crash. Officer Stanton investigates.This is straight to VOD. It has a stripped down horror house aspect and it's surprisingly good. It's more cinematic than it deserves to be. The house has a nice creepy look. The camera takes interesting shots with good creepy closeups especially with Chucky. Chucky alumni Don Mancini gets most of the credit. He's not only writing but also directing this one. There isn't much exposition and there isn't much need for it. It's a bunch of people in a house with the killer doll and they don't know it. There are nice little twists. It's simple and it works. It's almost classic in its execution.
