Cult of Chucky.

I was actually quite surprised.

I thought the last one (curse) was ok...kind've nice to see the franchise edge back into darker territory while steering, although not completely, away from the ridiculous.

Cult is just about as direct a sequel as you could ask for these days - bringing the two main characters from the modern and original era together.
I liked it. It was dark, moody, atmosphere wasn't bad, some interesting kills...and I much prefer the "new" concepts involved this one rather than the introduction of more outlandish characters.
This one's got a bit of everything for those that have liked various aspects/styles of the series throughout.

It's also nice to see Andy again, in more than just a post credits scene...and it's really shown how much of a toll the his experiences have taken on his life and who he's become.
Chucky was really enjoying himself too, and his character felt a bit more like the "old" Chucky this time around.

Anyways, I actually liked it quite a bit more than "curse".
Not sure if they intentionally left it as incomplete as it was, it's almost like having watched half of a movie - I was really enjoying it, and when it ended when/how it did, it seemed quite abrupt and I'd really hope that they intend to follow this up with another.

Check it out. It's probably the first in the franchise I've enjoyed anywhere near as much as either of the first two.
