Curse of Chucky (Oct. 8, 2013) - no spoilers.

Threat · 10-09-2013, 02:00 AM

Bought the 6 movie Chucky Collection that came out today. I rarely buy movies without already having seen them, but since the new one came in the set and totals about $10 each I figured why not. The original is amazing, of course, 2 I don't remember too well, so that's a good thing I guess. 3 Sucked, and I'm not a huge fan of Bride or Seed, but Curse looked cool from the trailers.

After having just seen it, I can say I'm glad I got it. It's not great, and definitely has some lame acting, which was expected, but you can't deny the feeling you get when you see and hear Chucky. He's just too fun not to have in your life. I enjoyed the movie for what it was. Some nice tie-ins, since this is supposed to take place after 3 and before Bride. I like the special cameo's and multiple endings it has within the movie, even after the credits. I recommend watching it at least once if you like any Chucky movie.

Chucky is my all time favorite horror icon. I loved all the movies except Seed. It was just one big sex joke.

Saw Curse today and thought it was great. Some people complained about it being DTV and CGI. Even as a die hard fan I didn't care about that. The CGI looked great imo. The atmosphere is always dark so that helped it.

My only complaint...SPOILER (kinda I'll be vague)...was when the girl arrived home. It was just silly and tacked on imo. If you know what I mean. Fortunately that wouldn't happen anyway so no biggie. The after credits thing was cool.

I have had the others for ages.
The first was always the best though. I thought the sequels got progressively worse as they went on. So, when I sat down to watch the latest one, I wasn't expecting much.
What I got was the best one yet. I thought it was excellent. My girlfriend was totally creeped out by it when you see Chucky move his eyes (she had no idea what this movie was about, and I didn't tell her

)
Anyway, after the car crash scene, she split !

I got it Tuesday and liked it a lot.

My thing with it...is it really supposed to be after 3 and before Bride? Cause there is stuff that directly contradicts that. Specifically with Chucky, and the articles they found online in the movie...

I read it was just a straight-up sequel with a tone more in line with the original. The article I read seemed to imply it happened in chronological order with everything else, so after "Seed". Of course these things are known to be wrong from time to time.

No...that's pretty accurate. There are call backs to all of the sequels, and it's a lot more serious than Bride and Seed were.

I gotta say it's pretty decent as its back to basics as Chucky has truly returned to his horror roots. Made me forget the campiness of Bride and Seed even though this movie did kind of follow up on those.

Does it say what happens to this guy?

*Brodie* · 10-11-2013, 08:52 PM

No, no mention of Glenn.

Thankfully.

I figured it was a straight up sequel given the references and state of Chucky, but this guy seemed so sure it was just a sequel to 2 & 3, I was curious why.

*Wildcat* · 10-12-2013, 03:59 AM

Glen/Glenda turned human at the end of Seed but yes it is strange that Tiffany would rejoin Chucky and help him out after Seed's events.

People thought for a long time it took place after 3 because it was going back to horror and promos showed Chucky without scars. Personally I would have had it ignore Seed and be some sort of alternate Bride since Tiffany isnt a doll.

It was still great despite those inconsistencies. Some people say its the best since 2...I kinda agree. I think it probably ties with 2. The whole creepy tone with the dark house and Chucky sneaking around was awesome.

In the future I would find a way to get rid of the scars as his straight up doll look has always been more scary to me. He just needs a new good guy body.

Spoiler: I'm still kind of confused as to how he was able to rekindle with Tiffany and being his accomplice.
