SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
willnye-74430 Ee This movie deserved a theatrical release and so did curse of Chucky, the acting from all of the characters was amazing whether it was how Fiona Douraf was playing Nica Pierce, Nica being possessed by Charles Lee Ray, the practical effects were absolutely amazing, and as always Brad Douraf did an amazing job playing Chucky
johnny-burgundy Cult of Chucky (2017) This is a horror film, The seventh installment of the franchise. It was written and directed by Don Mancini, who has been director since Seed of Chucky. It stars Brad Dourif as Chucky, and returning cast members from the previous six installments. It received good reviews for being such a late installment. It's a satisfying horror film maintaining the charm of its predecessors, while attempting some innovation.
trevuar There are so many problems with this film. The first glaring one is the script. The main character has things happen to them instead of them being in direct motion to stop, escape, win, or obtain something. When this happens in any script, we as an audience cease to care about what goes on because the whole experience feels out of control or distant. SPOILERS AHEAD--What should have been--Andy is in this movie, but that he isn't the main character. It would have done wonders for the script if there was an actual cult in search of Chucky's voodoo power. Parts of this movie would have fit so great with this idea. 1. Andy had the head of Chucky.It would make sense if an actual voodoo cult was after him. The cult's goal would be to learn the voodoo spell used by Charles Lee Ray to obtain immortality. (This movie doesn't really have a cult in it at all. It's just a flimsy excuse to show more than one chucky doll killing people).2. Andy was packing some serious firepower to fight anything or anyone who would come after him. It was really great to see all the weapons that he had acquired and the movie did a great job of him losing a relationship over his obsession with firearms. All of the build up and reveal of Andy was ruined when he surrenders himself in a really stupid way to attempt a really insane attack on the other dolls that he magically found out existed ( probably because he read the script -_-). This movie should have been about a real cult of people or even more dolls trying to kill Andy and free the original Chucky from his grasp. 3. The ending problemsWe have no reason to root for the protagonist or chucky for that matter.Andy is captured in the mental institution with no escape.Chucky escapes as a woman who we don't care about.Even if this ending was supposed to be tragic, we don't get to know Andy better and we certainty don't care enough about Nica to hope for her escape. It's even more annoying that she just gets up and walks because she's possessed by Chucky.
vengeance20 Just finished watching Cult of Chucky & have to say it was disappointing & not all as great as I thought it was going to be. I mean the film as a whole was "ever so slightly" better than Curse of Chucky, but only by a whisker as this film wasn't all that different from it's 2013 predecessor. The film carries on from the events of the previous with Mica, who is now in a mental hospital after recently being transferred. She still believes the Chucky Doll is real while everyone around thinks she is crazy as the Doll is nothing but a "fantasy" to them & the authorities.The film sees some iconic characters returning, with Alex Vincent as Andy Barclay & of course Brad Dourif with the voice of Charles Lee Ray/Chucky, not to mention Brads daughter, Fiona, returning from the previous film as Mica. The film was decent enough for what it was. Though it wasn't anything special. It took place in the asylum for most of the film with other scenes taking place in either Andy's house & the restaurant at the start of the film, aside from them 2, it's pretty as confined as the setting of the film is. The deaths were OK, 1 of which was pretty creative. While the others weren't all that. They weren't "Dark" or "Sinister" enough. We need the REAL Chucky for crying out loud! Where's the vicious killings? The stabbing? The grim, yet dark deaths he carried out on his victims!? I miss them! Badly!I also feel the issue with this film (like the previous) is that it lacks the old school feel of the late 80's early 90's! That feeling which is absent in these sequels which although are miles better than Bride of Chucky & Seed of Chuck especially! Though them films didn't feel "tacky" if that makes sense? But I'd have to say Child's Play 1 2 & 3 (especially) are the best ones!The story-line which was alright just had a dumb arse twist at the end which was both politically correct & just dumb & weird! I mean, what ever happened to a straight forward story-line with Andy rescuing Mica from the asylum? Hm? No it has to be a less off session with Chucky's GF along with another weird yet confusing revelation! I did like the post credits scene, but even then, that couldn't save this film from getting any better!The gore was decent enough, but could've been better! You'd of thought for today's generation in films being modern, that Chucky would dominate it, sadly not & this film wasn't much of an improvement over Curse of Chucky, which was quite disappointing!I hear there's an 8th instalment of Child's Play coming & shock shock horror horror shock shock horror... is set in outer-F**kin'- space! Seriously? I mean this film itself was 87 minutes long yet we couldn't get some easy straight forward story-line with some gruesome Chucky class deaths? No, of course we can't! Overall the film wasn't all that, it was disappointing considering the new age we live in & the anticipation of what could've been a good horror film with a classic Chucky laced into it! Overall, 4/10
