Plots(1)
The film follows Nica Pierce (Fiona Dourif), a young girl locked up in a psychiatric hospital after being convicted of killing her family. Adamant that she is innocent and that the murders were committed by the possessed 'Good Guy' doll Chucky (voice of Brad Dourif), Nica is horrified when her psychiatrist brings her a similar doll in an attempt to help her get over her fears. When a new wave of murders then take place at the hospital, Chucky's original victim Andy Barclay (Alex Vincent) arrives to help Nica fight back. (Universal Sony Pictures Home Entertainment)

This franchise really has nothing to offer anymore. The technical side is vastly underfunded and the film looks like it fell out of a 90's VHS, same goes for the acting. The atmosphere is nil, a major flaw considering the film takes place in a mental institution, so the only thing worth mentioning is the gore, fairly decently handled with very good practical effects, but it would be much better if we have to wait 70 minutes for things to get going. Chucky's wisecracks are still good, otherwise I don't see much reason to recommend it. It can be survived in one viewing. 50%

If I ever think of Cult of Chucky in the future, it will probably be because it's a film where the doll character still works and is just as scary as he was in the first film. Chucky is so well designed that he loses none of his scariness. But then I will remember the film only because it's a mediocre spectacle, both within the horror genre and within the series. There’s nothing here to dazzle or really scare you.
