Man, I really wanted to enjoy this movie. Honestly I've never been a die-hard Chucky fan, but I was a huge fan of Ronnie Yu's Bride of Chucky. It had some good moments of dark humor, enough gore, and enough stupid moments to keep one entertained. It seems that since that movie, the Chucky series is aiming more towards the dark comedy side of things, much like such films as Re-Animator or Return of the Living Dead.
Bride of Chucky had the formula down right, and Seed of Chucky totally loses it. The movie goes for cheap gags, and just really doesn't try hard at all to be funny or scary. There's very few moments in the movie that will make anyone laugh, or even cringe as something happens. There's only one really good kill in this movie, and the rest of it just seems to be filler. This one is on an obvious shoe-string budget, and I'm surprised that they even made the film with such a joke of a script.
I guess it turns out that Chucky's kid that was born in the end of Bride of Chucky, is some circus freak with a London accent. He's a doll, finds out his parents are part of a new movie ( Based on the chucky " Urban " myths ) resurrects his parents, Chucky and Tiffany. The dolls come back to life with the amulet Chucky needed in the Bride flick to get his body back...
The kid is freakin' retarded, and has no part in this movie. Also everything has been cheapened quite a bit. The voodoo resurrection seems easier than ever, and apparently by using a turkey baster to impregnate a woman, voodoo magically occurs and makes the pregnancy speed up. There's many other things like this in the film that'll make you scratch your head. I'm all for being far-fetched, just so long as you put a little detail into your idea and maybe explain instead of saying " Oh my, it's voodoo, things happen faster. " Also most of the deaths appear to be extremely convenient, taking a lot of fun out of the movie. I'm always in the mood for a stylish death, but these ones are just lame. We do get a very interesting first kill from Chucky and Tiffany that I enjoyed, however the rest are garbage. When Glen/Glenda kills the photographer, it's a total joke, as are most of the kills... The thing is, I don't think anyone is laughing.
It's just an awful mess of a film, I really don't want to go into any further detail. Tilly was enjoyable, but not nearly as much as she was in Bride of Chucky. She pokes good fun at herself and her career, and she's admirable as she's obviously doing this because she enjoys the work. It's too bad she's wasted on this terrible script.
I can deal with cheese, so long as it's fresh and entertaining... This movie just stunk, I recommend waiting for a rental.
