#BUDDI DOLL CHUCKY 2019 SERIAL#
Gone is the serial killer trapped in a doll's body, in its place, a killer robot toy. Granted, this entered development years before Curse and Cult, with an entirely new creative team at the wheel. Child's Play (2019)Ĭult of Chucky's success surely would have ushered in another sequel following the original mythology, but instead, we were given a remake of the 1988 original. It's a shame we didn't see this '90s version of what would essentially become Cult of Chucky.
#BUDDI DOLL CHUCKY 2019 MOVIE#
This scene held the seeds of Mancini’s original idea for the movie - an army of Chuckys - which was back burnered due to budgetary concerns. He’s not the same doll, his DNA drips into a vat of melted plastic and from here a new Good Guy is forged. It's here we see how Chucky is resurrected.
The movie's missed opportunity lies in its opening sequence at the Good Guys factory. The bulk of the action copies the previous film's structure, except this time Andy is the teen protector of young Tyler, who becomes the object of Chucky's attention with a game of 'hide the soul.' It doesn't help that Andy's lost his pluck, no longer a can-do kid with courage, but now a bit of a dullard. Weirdly, the climax unravels at a nearby carnival. The military setting puts Chucky in close proximity to a lot of weapons - rifles, grenades – but they're only explored in the final act. Released a mere nine months after Child's Play 2, the production rush shows in the script which is a little flat compared to the vibrant first sequel. This time, Andy's at military school and a time jump puts him at 16.
The scenario however is a little different. Chucky still wants to take over Andy Barclay's body. Child's Play 3 does little to distinguish itself from the previous two installments in terms of story. The only issue with a franchise revolving around a killer doll is how fast the novelty wears thin. The nonbinary Glen/Glenda character forces both Chucky and Tiffany – along with the audience – to confront gender stereotypes in a way that enables mass carnage. Seed is not without its strong points however, introducing Chucky's genderfluid spawn into the franchise. Low budget aside, it's the absence of the truly horrific which is really missed here, in large part due to the overly-complicated plot that involves a web of characters looped in solely to die. Their onscreen sparring, in particular during a conference call sequence, provide the biggest laughs even if they're not matched by scares. Jennifer Tilly plays a version of herself whom Tiffany wishes to embody - quite literally. Picking up years after the events of Bride with the offspring of Chucky and Tiffany resurrecting their parents in Hollywood, what follows is zany slapstick as both try to quash their killer instincts as a way to mute their child’s own appetite for destruction.
Where its predecessor Bride of Chucky carefully straddles the line of self-referential and scary slasher to winning effect, Seed tips into the former effectively rendering it horror-lite.
