Well, I will start it off with a crap movie. I won't go in to a lot of detail just in case people want to see it.
Curse of Chucky.Plot: Chucky is delivered to a family that has ties to his past.
I must admit I was pretty excited to see this...and then horribly disappointed that they ruined everything about Charles Lee Ray.
The scenes just dragged on so long. I found myself thinking: Would something just please happen or Could Chucky just kill someone already. I understand that atmosphere and tension are important to a horror movie, but there is a thin line between that and boredom. This film crosses it repeatedly.
The acting is so awful. A lot of the drama is pointless, character reactions are weird, and conversations are pointless to the plot. Actually, what made everything worse: I didn't give a crap about any of these characters. When Chucky starts his slaughter I was glad for it.
The gore factor is crap. Each "kill" in a slasher type flick should be memorable...these are not.
There also wasn't enough Chucky/Child interaction in this. The first two movies did an awesome job of establishing a relationship between Chucky and Andy...this one- you get absolutely nothing.
The part of the film that made me so angry: Charles Lee Ray completely out of character. How can you do this to a crazy serial killer?! He killed his own girlfriend without hesitation in Bride of Chucky and suddenly you want to make him a bleeding heart? No. And no again.
And the “special appearances” weren't that special…at all.
I must add that I feel that the first two films in the Child's Play series were great. They took a goofy voodoo killer doll idea and made it a gem. The third film was okay and Bride of Chucky is a guilty pleasure. Seed of Chucky is another awful, awful film...but still better than this crap Curse of Chucky.
So what are your thoughts? Anybody a fan of these? You hate them?
