The Curse Of Chucky

yea..... im not a fan of the "live" face... i cant tell if its cgi, or just cheapo animatronics, but you can tell they cheaped out on it. which is sad.
 
Not really sure what the point of this one is. Looks like they're trying to go back to the old-school horror aspect, but I'm perfectly satisfied with the original Child's Play that I already own on Blu-ray.
 
My first look of the doll for this film wasn't while watching the trailer in the link but seeing a pic of the doll in one of the ads below El Duderino's post. Damn, that thing is hairy scary!

I heard the news of the reboot in late 2008 and I'd check on Internet once in a while for its release date or something about it and I never found anything new. Eventually I gave up checking for updates. It's probably been three years since I last thought about this reboot.
 
It's nice to see that Brad Dourif continues to get work. I think he's seriously underrated.
Agreed, and the only good thing about another Chucky film. The new doll makes him look like a girl. The Curse of Chicky.
 
I've gotta see Child's Play again, was a looong time ago and I don't remmber much. Anyone can tell me, which part is the best of?

Child's Play 2 is the best of the series. But you should also see the first one just to understand how and why the doll is possessed.
 
Child's Play is a completely different animal than the rest of the franchise. It has a much darker and serious tone. There aren't any jokes coming from Chucky... It's intended to scare you, rather than make you laugh. When made and released, it had the advantage of being the first. It could be the movie that wasnt about topping itself with what it did show you, but rather its about what it doesn't show you. There's the mystery to it... And through most of the movie you just see this creepy, soulless looking doll with a scary smile on its face. You don't even see him come to life until the third act... And when that happened in '88, it was a total shocking OMG moment.

By the second movie, we'd already seen a living Chucky and I was time to take him to the next level... In doing that, the mystery is gone and comedy creeps in (like it started to in the Nightmare franchise).

The last two were just parodies of the franchise... Nothing scary... Just gory and funny.

I think this one is considered a "soft reboot" in that it doesn't negate the other movies, but tries to take Chucky back to the darker and less comedic tones... Shooting more for thrills than laughs...

I'll be in to watch for sure! Besides, October is the month of my annual, month long horror movie marathon.
 
Glad they kept brad for the voice of chucky but hmm not really fond of the facial expressions on chucky tho.
