Curse of Chucky [Blu-ray]

I went to film school, so obviously I have a pompous attitude about what I think is the greatest thing ever put on film (hint: “the Empire Strikes Back”) and what is the WORST crap ever (Schwarzenegger’s “the Last Stand”).But I am also a fan of the Chucky series of films. The first horror film I ever decided to voluntarily sit through as a youth was the second film in the canon, a movie I still think holds up. But as the series progressed, the campier they became, culminating in “Seed of Chucky” a movie that is...not…well……………..let’s just leave it at “not”.But I’ve always got a soft spot in my heart for my favorite of all the movie-monsters, continually brought to life through the voice of Brad Dourif (who was nominated for an Oscar for “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest [which is a fact that NOT a lot of people know]). So when “Curse of Chucky”, the new film starring Dourif’s REAL LIFE Daughter Fiona Dourif came out, I knew I had wanted to see it.Last night was my time.But before I go into my review, let me give you a segue: when I was in film school, the director I studied the most was Alfred Hitchcock. Say what you will about his later films (I still really enjoy “Torn Curtain”), but the man KNEW how to drive you wild with a camera angle, music, or a subtle glance. Sometimes all of those things at the same time.Watching this film was like watching a “Child’s Play” movie directed by Alfred Hitchcock, only it was directed (as well as written) by series creator Don Mancini, who really goes balls-out in creating mood, atmosphere, chills, gore and most of all: LIKEABLE characters. Yes, that’s right: characters we actually enjoy as people. Fiona Dourif’s “Nica” is not only likeable, but she’s a character you WANT to succeed.Horror (as well as a most of cinema itself the last few years), has become a cesspool of cliched dialog spoken by carbon-copied characters in a style-less/coverage driven garbage pile that tries to lobotomize you into enjoying whatever you’ve chosen to Redbox that evening. Sure, there’s ALWAYS been bad horror, but never has the mainstream stuff been so...happily generic.We meet Nica, a single gal living with her painter Mom in an old-yet-cool house. Mom receives a mysterious package (spoiler alert: it’s Chuck) and murderousness ensues, especially after Nica’s sister Barb brings her family to live with Nica and try to convince her to sell the house to make some good paper off of it. There’s a priest, a nanny, a suspicious husband, a cute (not annoying) kid, and an elevator.Fiona Dourif is pretty dang great, creating a sympathetic yet strong protagonist and is a great counter to the role her pop is playing, that of the Good Guy doll with a killer snark. But this movie isn’t ABOUT Chucky killing people. As a matter of fact, the first time you see Chucky actually kill someone comes pretty late in the movie, which is a great choice by Mancini. He shows quite an astounding display of sleight of hand here, using camera angles, SLOW camera movements, lighting effects, a window, a storm, etc., to tension you deeper into the film.You know: how they USED to make movies. The kinds that Scorsese and Spielberg constantly put on their all-time-favorites lists.By the time you reach the end of the movie, not only are you satisfied with the story, but you’re very happy with the overall EXPERIENCE of the it, something that has long disappeared in the days of heightened focus groups.Sometime ago (on instagram), I created the hashtag #cinemafirst, in an attempt to a) teach my followers about the power of cinema and b) have them demand more from it. We need more movies like “Curse of Chucky” in terms of how they’re presented to us: an art form done in a stylish way with interesting characters that made you feel good after watching it. However, if all you want to see if s***ty people get killed in creative ways, then to each their own. But YOU’RE the reason that the art form behind film is dying and when there’s nothing good out anymore, when you’re at redbox or on netflix looking for something interesting to watch and you just can’t see anything you’d want to spend your time on...you’re to blame.Aspiring filmmakers should watch this film so they can remember HOW TO MAKE A MOVIE. #cinemafirstp.s. STAY ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO THE END CREDITS.

Carson chamois definitely executed way better than a lot of people thought its very well done, I think it pays to review to this from the 60s and 70s, with its school treelined with, of course. Chucky! This one seems to go more back to the roots of how child play part one was with more scare and although there is some its not a focal point like Bride and Seed more able to time some extremely well with the gore. This one successfully maintained provide of the original and the second. And he has a no. There are 3 before British, but I think players 2 of the scariest of the series If you were actually a child, then the films originally started coming out, especially the first and second. Those pills were actually scary, and when you were a kid shot scared head made you afraid of every doll saw as a child, even if you were a boy like myself, you were afraid of the cabbage patch doll your neighbor had for your sister had and until they became funny with the introduction of Tiffany in bride of chucky aka part for 1999 they became more funny and less scary so I really like this film due to the fact it actually made me jump and I believe the mist came out and I saw it for the first time I was mid 20s to anybody that has not seen us yet without giving anything away yes you do get it came and get to see Capetian surprise cameos from people from the earliest parts of the series so stay tuned to after the credits especially because this is the the unrated version. And for once there is a difference between the unrated and rated r editions. I own this on do men watch the both sins are completely different after saying and does not have the surprise cameos and the deaths of toned down way toned down!I don't know it matters, but I really also like the back or that. There was somebody in a big chair and that when the. Main character that was to her who slash victim in the movie and also in the new film cult choke, because as somebody who is in a wheel chair, you never see that and when there is somebody who is in a wheelchair in the film, they get kill Bob in a good Obatala. And usually I love to death scenes. Though only the fact that there was a character in this light that was not meek and frail because not all of those are really was very cool and I was very happy the way to see her kill Chucky killed by Chucky, lol. But I like the fact or to say it was made her character strong. And that she is in the new one 🙄

Watching the Chucky series sparked my interest to watch all of the movies again. They did not disappoint

Love Checky

Excelente película con una trama intensa y bien elaborada, te mantiene en tu asiento hasta el fin de la película. No duden en comprarla, no se arrepentirán y el efecto reticular del slipcover genial.

The Child's play saga continues in this sixth installment in the series of the diminutive Serial Killer that is cute as a munchkin.We are in Rhode island with the Pierce Family, Widow and Mother Sarah (Chantal Quesnelle) and Nica (Fiona Dourif, the Daughter of Brad Dourif who voices Chucky) a paraplegic since birth.A mysterious large parcel is delivered with Chucky inside, unimpressed with the gift, Sarah dumps the doll in the trash bin (something that Chucky experiences quite a lot over the years).Suddenly Sarah is found dead and the grief stricken Nica gathers the rest of the family together, her condescending and obnoxious Sister Barb (Danielle Bisutti), Ian the Cuckold Husband (Brennan Elliot), Jill the Attractive Nanny (Maitland McConnell) Innocent Alice (Summer Howell in her debut movie) and Father Frank (marvelously​ played by A Martinez).They share all the memories and stories and had Dinner until Father Frank leaves to go back to St Paul's Church in a hurry in strange circumstances, after he is gone the family caught sight of an unknown stranger who is actually the Human "Chucky" Charles Lee Ray the Lakeshore Strangler in Ray Ban sunglasses in their old tape reels, when Barb and Nica's Father mysteriously drowns like Vivienne van Pelt who's body is found in the river (Chucky mentions her in Bride of Chucky) as possible offerings to Damballah who is the west African and Haitian Serpent God of rain and water surroundings.As Nica has hunches and notions that led her to play detective as she explores deep into the realms of urban legend and scary camp fire ghost myth about a particular doll possessed by the angry and vengeful spirit of a Voodoo practising Serial Killer, she makes more gruesome discoveries as the film continues as she finds out Charles Lee Ray took an unhealthy interest to her heavily pregnant mother, Sarah, back in the Eighties as flashbacks.Don Mancini can make masterpieces which is why Chucky flicks are a movie goer's most watched saga in every country as the most enjoyed entertainment. This is a brilliant, unapologetically​ brutal, and dazzling sequel that is better than Bride and Seed, you can get away with watching Child's play 3 and go straight to watching this and you can still catch up on the story.Good music score and lighting, I love the setting of the haunted house feeling and pan angle shots, the best is the Dinner scene like a Russian roulette, and you see artsy shots of chomping mouths guzzling the gazpacho wondering who is going to die and the cast is teasing the audience, the death scenes are creative and well thought through with effort put in to create the film. Chucky displayed clever premeditated revenge as he continues to keep his promise since the original movie and still wants to claim a human body to transport his soul.Fiona Dourif puts on an incredible performance and is emulating her Father in this movie, her beauty and heroine role resembles him in looks and intensity in one flew over the cuckoo's nest.Watch out for the surprise ending after the credits roll which will lead us to "Cult of Chucky" as the next sequel
