Curse of Chucky. Was hyped to see this, because as a kid I loved the first three. Hated the last two, and this one's different, kind of a mixed bag. Don't know much what to think.
PLEASE BEWARE OF SPOILERS BELOW
Good;
*Nice creepy feel.
*Chucky's hilarious one liners.
*Commendable effort to visual detail, takes cues from what made slasher movies awesome in the 80's and 90's.
*Lesbians.
*Fun and interesting plot progression.
*Brad Dourif as the voice of Chucky.
Bad;
*Not enough deaths, and what deaths there are aren't really impressive.
*They felt the need to rewrite Charles Lee Ray's entire backstory. Seriously, guys?
*Chucky doesn't bleed when he's injured, and there is no ending climax where he gets gloriously killed.
Personal verdict; well it's not a total mess, but nowhere near as fun as the old ones. But I really can't believe they didn't kill Chucky at the end. Making a slasher movie really isn't complicated, damn it. Crazy ending climax is necessary. Also, the whole thing happens in a house. Meh. I appreciated it a bit more than the last two, and...somehow...it was fun to watch. But I wouldn't watch it again.
