Cult of Chucky (2017)

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

best movie i've ever seen.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Chucky is back in 2017 and Don Mancini is again back as director. Brad Douriff once again voices Chucky (let's face it, it just wouldn't be the same without his creepy voice!). With great visuals and photography, and a great premise in a mental institute, this is by far the best in the series - next to the original, off course, which is still the best. This installment has great acting, great characters and a good story. I also enjoyed Alex Vincent as Andy back again, and the reference to the original film. Loved it! It also leaves the door wide open for another sequel.

The Childs Play franchise has been, no pun intended, played out. The original reigns supreme, and no reboot or sequel is ever going to hold a candle to what the 1988 film was all about. For its time, it was a cutting edge, well made film that explored a childs fear of a doll that nobody believed was real, and also went for the shock factor. For its time, it worked. Childs Play did not earn an R rating for violence, mind you, it was Chuckys mouth that lost the PG13 rating. Once that shock value was gone, meaning, once you have watched the movie, it's all gone...it disappears without a trace. Most horror fans would have been left satisfied, however, gore hounds would have been disappointed, as the original Childs Play kept the violence to a bare minimum. Fast forward two years, as we enter 1990, and Childs Play 2 is introduced. It picks up where the original left off, this time, the violence has been upped its game quite a bit, the deaths being a lot more grisly and graphic. Then came Childs Play 3, which if fine, if you wanted to make a trilogy, it should have remained a trilogy. Bride Of Chucky, in my opinion, was the first whack of the dead horse. This was not needed. However, in Hollywood, dead horses are cash cows on their animal farm, so what's going to stop them except if audiences quit paying to see this stuff? Seed Of Chucky was insanely terrible, and skip the bogus treats in between, and let's get down to business and discuss Cult Of Chucky. What's worse then one killer doll? How about two of them. How about three? The paper thin plot is backed up by, what I have perceived, as deliberate, downright brutal acts of violence. If shock value was what you were going after, Mr. Mancino, I am not impressed. The last 20 minutes is just a pure blood bath, and everything was left unresolved, and I had dozens of questions by the time the ending credits were scrolling. ( Was, uh, the new doll alive long enough to bleed like that? If no, it cancels out the logic of the original Childs Play.) For myself, this is the end of any more viewings of future Chucky films. I am done. If you ask me, its time to put this final nail in the coffin, and end the franchise once and for all. On a positive note, I will give them props for finding unique, creative ways to keep the sequels going. Some are fun to watch. This one was entertaining, had potential, but I knocked a star off because of the over excessive, brutal violence. Maybe they should have concentrated more on story instead of the slayings. ( Speaking of slayings....glass coming downward from the ceiling, onto a body. Have we, uh, seen this before somewhere? Just asking.) Hold your head in shame, Don. You have talent. Why do you waste it on this marsh?

This movie is not like original ones poor characters no story just profanity make a horror movie like conjuring that broke all records.

The plot holes in this movie are the size of the grand canyon, now Chucky can possess different people and/or dolls all at once? Where'd he conveniently get that new little skill set? This was obviously filmed with a low budget because the CGI effects were cheesy at best. Please do everyone a favor and lay old Chucky down for good, it was a good run but as I stated IMO the series has ran it's course.
