Title: "Curse of Chucky" (2013) Post by: Joe on June 28, 2013, 12:11:48 PM Alright, so you may have heard the details on this, and maybe you haven't.
Apparently Don Mancini has decided, and kept it all hush hush quite well, to revive the franchise by seemingly going back to its roots. He is picking up the story right after part 3, so Bride and Seed never happened, and the Chuckster has FINALLY gone back to his original look. The cast is also all new, and non self aware. With the exception of Brad Dourif returning to voice the doll. The kicker is that it comes out in September, which totally threw me for a loop since there had been little to no news whatsoever. I actually thought this project was dead in the water. Low and behold two days ago, the poster leaked as well as some stills. And apparently the trailer will be following shortly. It is screening in August in the UK. I have this weird mixing bowl of emotions about this right now. It could be terrible, but something is making me incredibly curious about this entry. I actually hope it turns out well. Thoughts? Title: Re: "Curse of Chucky" (2013) Post by: Bushma on June 28, 2013, 01:13:40 PM I'll watch it of course. I'll have to see the trailer to see if it is worth theater prices or not though.

What an utterly pants movie I'll admit I'm not a big follower of the Child's Play franchise (although I did actually study Child's Play 3 for my media studies A Level), but this was purely crap on every level. Set the whole thing in a drab, atmosphere-less house? Check. Have characters that are so unengaging that if you met them in real life you'd make your excuses and leave the room before dying from boredom? Check Make Chucky himself seem like a random extra drafted in from a completely different movie, that has nothing to do with this one? Check Faith in modern horror restored? Un-check!

Just watched it and had high hopes, but I didn't like it. Nothing happened for at least 40 minutes and thats fine if there was some atmosphere or build up, but there wasn't. Worst one.

on a related note, a much more entertaining horror that features the female lead in a wheelchair is Formula For A Murder. recommend that one |
