Chucky faints upon learning he has a son, but Tiffany is overjoyed. Glen uses the Heart of Damballa, a voodoo amulet, to bring them back to life. Glen sees a preview of Jennifer Tilly's new horror film Chucky Goes Psycho on television, which features Chucky and Tiffany dolls rebuilt from their original remains Glen realizes that he is their son.ĭesperate to know his parents, Glen escapes Psychs and tracks the Chucky and Tiffany dolls to a prop room in Hollywood. In reality, he is living as a dummy for "Psychs", an abusive ventriloquist in England. Six years after the previous film, Glen, the benevolent living-doll son of Chucky and Tiffany, has a nightmare in which he murders a little girl's parents. Like its predecessor, the film received mixed reviews from critics. Seed of Chucky grossed over $24 million against a $12 million budget. The film was followed by another sequel, Curse of Chucky, released on home video and Netflix in 2013. It was the last Child's Play film from the original continuity to be released in theaters, with all future installments to be released direct-to-video until the 2019 reboot. The film, shot in Romania, continues the series' evolution from the pure horror genre of the first three films to a hybrid horror-comedy. The film is set six years after Bride of Chucky and follows a young doll named Glen, the son of Chucky and Tiffany, resurrecting his parents, causing chaos. With this entry, Mancini made his directorial debut. The film was written and directed by Don Mancini, who created the series and has written all of the films (except the 2019 remake), and stars Jennifer Tilly, Redman, Hannah Spearritt, John Waters, Billy Boyd and Brad Dourif. What I'm saying is, you'll like it.Seed of Chucky is a 2004 black comedy slasher film, the fifth installment of the Child's Play series, and sequel to 1998's Bride of Chucky as well as the first film to be distributed by another company since the original Child's Play. It's got all the slasher movie essentials like gore and nudity, married to a crude, black, very funny sense of humour, and even some semblance of humanity. What it all comes down to is, if you're on this page, reading reviews, you're probably a partial convert to a movie like "Seed of Chucky", and if you're wondering if you'll like it, I have to tell you, this movie doesn't skimp. It is what it is and is the most entertaining version of what it is, I think, possible. For the latter reason, no way will it cross over to a mainstream audience. "Seed" has the over the top humour of the best obnoxious comedies ("American Pie" comes to mind, but better examples probably escape me), and a surprisingly graphic amount of gore- this thing doesn't skimp on the blood. Speaking of Hollywood, the refreshing thing for a movie that takes place there? It isn't married to tired in jokes- save for one great one for B-Movie fans- the name of Chucky and Tiffany's child- which I will leave you to discover for yourself. Add that to a gender confusion subplot, and a piss take on twelve step programs, and you've got something a hell of a lot smarter than most horror films. This is balanced by a great scene- a lot of directors would have left it for the DVD- where she reveals that she's not the one note Hollywood caricature she's been built up to be. And I've got to hand it to Ms.Tilly- the girl's a trooper for sure,letting herself be the butt of jokes, both cruel and crazy. He not only makes the fifth take on Chucky feel fresh- a major accomplishment in itself for any series that has gone on this long- but shows a flair for satirizing movie clichés (a certain object flies upwards towards the camera at one point and it's a gas considering how overused that shot has been in action movies of recent years)and has a strong visual sense- check out the floor of Jennifer Tilly's foyer for an unexpected laugh. Don Mancini, who created Chucky many years ago, finally gets a chance to direct and I think this film will get him jobs outside the series. What a great time this movie is! "Bride of Chucky" reinvented what had become a dull, unscary franchaise as black comedy. I have been dying to hear that from a "slasher villain" for, well.since the birth of slasher villains. ![]() Towards the climax of "Seed of Chucky", Chucky himself manages to subvert the ENTIRE concept of the ENTIRE series so far, and thus most films of its kind, by using simple reasoning. ![]()
