Cult of Chucky (2017)

Remember last week when I had plenty of hope for Cult of Chucky? Well, turns out I was right to put my trust in Don Mancini because this seventh instalment of the franchise isn't terrible. And it's way better than Muschieetti's It. 

It's stupid right from the beginning as it opens with Andy (Alex Vincent), the kid from the original film, going on a date doomed to fail because the woman googled him and knows everything about his past. Anyway, Andy goes back home and guess who's waiting for him? Chucky (Brad Dourif). Actually, Chucky's head, half destroyed because Andy finds incredible pleasure in torturing him. Then it shifts focus on Nica (Fiona Dourif), who is now in an asylum for killing her family. But she doesn't find peace in the asylum either as several good guy dolls make their appearance. And they all are somehow possessed by Chucky whose goal is to terrorize Nica. And then Andy comes back to stop Chucky but first he has to deal with Chucky's wife, Tiffany (Jennifer Tilly) who is helping her husband to get his revenge.

Curse of Chucky (2013)

After Seed of Chucky, directed by Don Mancini, just like this one, I was expecting the worst but Mancini was able to surprise me again. He left comedy to go back to the original trilogy’s dark tones, and it worked. Although it’s far from being the best horror or slasher movie, Curse of Chucky sure is a pretty entertaining one – and it kinda made me excited about Cult of Chucky.

The story is about Nica, a young woman in a wheelchair (Fiona Dourif, Brad Dourif’s real-life daughter) who is forced to deal with her sister (Danielle Bisutti), her brother-in-law (Brennan Elliott) and her niece (Summer H. Howell) after the mysterious death of her mother (Chantal Quesnel). The cause of death, however, isn’t a mystery to us since Nica and her mother received a package containing Chucky (Brad Dourif) not long before dying. What we don’t know is what score Chucky is trying to settle as he starts killing the members of the family.
