Chucky is back in this excellent sequel!

Warning: Spoilers
Two years ago, young Andy Barclay (Alex Vincent) was terrorized by a killer "Good Guy" doll named Chucky. Chucky was possessed by the spirit of serial killer Charles Lee Ray (Brad Dourif) and the only way he could become human again was to transfer his soul into Andy's body. After murdering several people, the evil doll was burnt to a crisp and dismembered by Andy's mother which effectively put an end to his crimes. No one believed Andy's mom and she was taken away to a mental correction facility for her crazy story. The now eight year old Andy has since been placed into a new home with foster parents Phil Simpson (Gerrit Graham), Joanne Simpson (Jenny Agutter), and their adoptive daughter Kyle (Christine Elise). Meanwhile, Chucky has been reconstructed by the company that manufactures the Good Guy dolls in order to prove a point. Knowing that Andy is his only means of becoming human again, the murderous doll immediately goes after the poor boy and will kill anyone who gets in his way!

I will never understand the bad things that I sometimes hear about this sequel, it's great! Sure the first film is way scarier and more suspenseful but here we see way more of Chucky and his one liners, which are both cruel and hilarious. Most of the adults in this film are very unlikable and I've heard people complain about that, but it makes it all the more satisfying when they meet their fate at the hands of Chucky! The killer doll is once again voiced by Brad Dourif, who is a huge favorite of mine and never fails to deliver those lines with such wicked devotion. No one can ever replace Brad and you can tell he loves being the voice of Chucky. Alex Vincent is also on top of his game here as Andy from the first film and delivers a structured and layered performance. He has great chemistry with Christine Elise who plays Kyle, his foster sister. This sequel has some of the best kills of the whole series and I also love the action-packed finale in the toy factory. This movie isn't quite as good as the original but I will still give it a perfect rating as seeing more of Chucky is always a good thing. I'll never get over his side splitting comment about women drivers towards the end of the movie, funny stuff! Long live Chucky!
