Le Retour de Chucky

This franchise really has nothing to offer anymore. The technical side is vastly underfunded and the film looks like it fell out of a 90's VHS, same goes for the acting. The atmosphere is nil, a major flaw considering the film takes place in a mental institution, so the only thing worth mentioning is the gore, fairly decently handled with very good practical effects, but it would be much better if we have to wait 70 minutes for things to get going. Chucky's wisecracks are still good, otherwise I don't see much reason to recommend it. It can be survived in one viewing. 50% (24/09/2017)

If I ever think of Cult of Chucky in the future, it will probably be because it's a film where the doll character still works and is just as scary as he was in the first film. Chucky is so well designed that he loses none of his scariness. But then I will remember the film only because it's a mediocre spectacle, both within the horror genre and within the series. There’s nothing here to dazzle or really scare you. (02/10/2017)
