Cult of Chucky Trailer
- Thread starter SaintZ
- Start date
Watched this last night. Not really a fan. Andy cant act and kills a scene. Production values pull me right out of the movie,
And what about that glass falling death? Could have been cool than wham full on sillyness.
Eh. Cool they are still making chucky movies but i suggest just watching the first two and stopping.

Did anybody else think that...
Andy's plan was to put himself in the Chucky Doll and we'd have a Chucky versus Chucky fight?

I watched Curse recently which I thought was baaad, then this, which I thought was worse. I wondered, are any of these movies any good or is the character just iconic?
I rewatched the first film for the first time in its entirety, and it was awesome.. Will have to see part 2 again and see if it continues in the vein of child's play or becomes sub full moon studios level trash immediately.

Curse was great! If you don't like that then you aren't a fan of the series.
That's exactly what I thought.
I thought
he was gonna have that Chucky go undercover and free him from his cell while they both hunted down the other Chucky's, and the buzzcut was to be able to differentiate between them.

No, it really wasn't.
I guess if I only like the first or first couple movies in a long line of shitty movies, you could say that about me.
What's your favorite Hellraiser, Halloween, Friday?
If you like the first couple of movies then Curse should be up your alley. It's a throwback to the early movies.
Never liked Hellraiser, the first, and part 4.

lol yes that's immediately the first thing I thought.
I imagine that would take so much negotiation due to legal fees/licensing/whatever that it wouldnt happen. Itd be fun tho!

Possibly my favorite Child's Play film. This series has really improved

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
No kidding. Those genes are strong. They had them paired up during the Cult press junket too. Wonder if she'll get into the same type of character acting.

curse was really good. This one was watchable and only decent if you're ok with how silly it got. Curse is more serious. Classic style tension/horror.
This. Bad acting save Nika and bargain-bin plot/dialogue. IMO, if you have a silly concept like a killer doll the rest of the movie has to be as grounded as possible for it to be effective. I felt curse did this well enough so it worked for me.
I was constantly distracted by non-sensicle character motives, dialogue and the "hospital" looked like a set and not like any kind of real place. Felt cheap, IMO.

Its good in how it works everything together to make sense after all the movies. Except one thing iirc.
I love her in Bound. She also does a great commentary for it.
Yes and it would have been smarter than the plan he actually executed.

Well, try it. Curse isn't the worst but it's pretty bad. It fits in perfectly with today's lame-o netflix horror selection. It suffers from the same thing cult does, which is a budget spent entirely in the puppets, so you have a script where there's basically only one set for the entire film. Pointless lesbian makeouts, sexy nanny in underwear, unlikeable cast, maybe spare Nika. Just dumb. It might be an intentional throwback to the first, but it feels more like a modern crappy horror film to me. No charm.
That's me though. This cult of chucky in the thread seems to love it.

I thought Seed was disappointing. Taking Chucky to Hollywood was stupid if you ask me. He's scarier when he's the kids doll and no one believes it.
I saw Cult of Chucky and the post credits scene is awesome. I like that whole scenario.
I'd like a reboot, but I also want another film.

Andy keeping him alive was interesting, but they really didn't talk. Sure, Andy wants him to suffer, but that's all Andy does. The only understanding of Voodoo is Chucky learning spells from the internet. They may have already discussed all there needs to be said about Chucky learning Voodoo and what happens when he's in the body for too long. I think that's what makes the whole thing interesting.

Andy needs to escape. I wonder what Kyle is going to say to Chucky. Nica's role as Chucky might seem a bit lame because she sounds the same as she did as a human. They're basically going to have a mad doll house wherever they go. What's their plan now? Nica doesn't seem scary.
Cult assumes you've seen Curse.
that lesbian make out wasn't pointless at all and actually served multiple purposes
the most obvious one was the misdirection. up until that point we are led to think that the nanny and ian are going to be the ones that fool around. they flirt a lot in the first half of the movie. this happens when ian insists on accompanying jill when she takes alice to the bathroom and then again at dinner which draws snide looks from barb. so when barb and jill start hooking up it's totally out of left field expectation wise.
then there's the aspect of it where ian suspects that his wife is fooling around with the nanny which prompts him to put a camera in chucky to spy on them. that comes in to play later when ian tries to prove that nica is the one killing everyone but then he starts seeing footage of chucky running around doing chucky things. then he skips ahead to the live feed which of course has chucky creeping up on them right at that moment and before he can fully comprehend that he's dead.
and then there's the slightly less necessary part because they could have still worked this death out somehow but when barb and jill are video calling each other the laptop that jill is using is how she gets electrocuted
I also didn't find the fact that the whole movie is in one house to be a detriment to the film. I liked that aspect of it.

Wasn't crazy about it, but was entertained. Saw it as soon as it showed up on Netflix. As advertised, Chucky slices and crushes more graphically, for whatever that's worth. Fiona Dourif is a high point of this and Curse (which I might favor). She's demonstrated enough solid acting in these Chucky flicks to be considered for more roles.

My only disappointment about the film is that Glen and Glenda didn't come back.
