Movie: Curse of Chucky

Just watched the movie Curse of Chucky.

First of all, the doll is a lot creepier than in the original Chucky doll. The overall motionlessness of the doll makes it severely eerie.

And what a way to make Bolognese sauce look extremely gross.

I already knew that guy's head was going to fall off. Called it.

This movie marks the sixth movie in the "Chucky" saga. It's slowly working it's movie numbers into the ranks of Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street and Saw. I hate to include that last one only because I don't like exce sive gore. I only saw the first few Saw movies, then happened upon the Hostel movies. I don't like gore, like I said (before; rhyme), but I mostly got used to the gore. It's not real. It just looks overly-real.

The Chucky doll in this movie is overly-real as well. The original Chucky doll was also real - for the 80's. It's creepy that now we have a doll that seems so much more doll-like than life-like. It's just a doll. It doesn't even look like it possesses an evil soul; whereas I feel in the original Chucky movies, the doll was so much more realistically driven than doll-like.

Side note: I think it's kind of hilarious that Brad Dourif's daughter is the main character in this movie. For those of you who don't know who Brad Dourif is, he is the voice of Chucky. Among other various roles as a creepy dude.

I mention this, because I think it's only slightly silly that they allude to the fact that the main character's parents knew the serial killer Charles Lee Ray before he eventually died and his soul possessed the Chucky doll. Then low and behold, they bring in stuff from the first Chucky movie. Nica, Brad Dourif's daughter, uses the great Google machine and does research. Again - low and behold - she finds out some crazy stuff about the Chucky dolls. Unsolved murders abound in the Google search, but only one sticks out to her: 1988. The first movie, right?

Then, to make matters even worse, the brother-in-law of Nica puts a nanny-cam in the Chucky doll. Doesn't sound like a wise decision, does it?

While watching the movie, I spoiled myself on Wiki, because I don't like feeling like I already know what the answer is to the movie, and I have to find out. Let me say: I. Was. Right.

But I don't want to reveal too many spoilers. Although, if you read this post, it will most likely have many spoilers.

Slowly, of course, Chucky kills off each family member one by one until only one person is left.

Eyeballs have been significantly popular in the movies lately. Eyeballs that are dislodged from their sockets and thrown from the eye. It's happened in a few other movies I can't put my finger on at this particular moment.

Lame that Nica was blamed for her sister's death though. But who is going to believe that a doll killed people in this day and age? Maybe some people, but not a whole lot of others.

For the record, I thought that Jennifer Tilly's character died and was a doll, like Chucky. However, she shows up as a human being in this movie. Odd.... perhaps I should go back and watch the last few movies. Does she come back to life?

Either way, the movie was an overall better movie than a lot of the other sequels in this whole saga. First movies are always the best because it is what everything else is based on for the other movies. Usually.

In an ideal world, all sequels have some significance to the first movie. Too bad that doesn't happen. However, sometimes there are movies that surprise you. Like this one.

Peace and Love,
