Bride of Chucky

This is a good film for die-hard Chucky fans. Okay I'm sure it's not as good as what the Child's Play movie were like, but this can get really funny and enjoyable, Chucky's laughs are hilarious. (SPOILERS) Now not one doll, but two, meaning double the impact, Jennifer Tilly played the part really well and definitely pulled off the best kill of the movie. If you have seen the Child's Play movies this would be a worthy film on your Chucky collection, but if you've never seen the Child's play movies before, this'll will be a new start. Of course you'll not have a clue on how Chucky got into his current state (cause I'm not telling you) but you'll figure out why Chucky is very popular. Overall a very enjoyable movie.

I first saw this in the late 90s on cable tv n found it to be very bad. Revisited it recently since I am on a Chucky marathon. This part was released aft a gap of seven years but the events in this film takes place immediately one month aft the previous part wher Chucky got killed by a giant fan. So this time Chucky is brought back to life once again not by chance but by a former lover Tiffiny thru the same mumbo jumbo stuff. Aft some heated arguments, Chucky kills Tiffany n transfers her soul into a female doll n the rest is idiotic history. This part is devoid of the scare n tension as the concept of a child in peril is totally removed. One of the kills may remind viewers of the Cenobite. The ceiling glass scene is totally ridiculous but the girl in that scene (Janet Kidder) is far more hotter than both the fatty's, Jennifer Tilly n Katherine Heigl.

From the opening with certain movie killers masks, glove-knife, and chainsaw, to the final scene which looks like it could have been straight from "It's Alive", this movie was camp all the way. Good point: They didn't bring back Andy. New characters and new "homes" for Chuck and Tiff brought a sense of freshness. Bad point: John Ritter. Need I say more? (Although he DOES make a pretty good Pinhead) If you're looking for "The Shining" or the original "Psycjo", spend a couple of bucks and rent them. If you want a good laugh mixed in with some gore, then spend the money here. Just don't take your Siskel & Ebert mindset with you. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the movie for what it is--self-depreciating schlock.

"Bride of Chucky" is a breath of fresh air in the "Child's Play" horror series. Cleverly combining over-the-top gore with a huge dose of black humor; "Bride of Chucky" is easily the best of the bunch in the series. Visual stylist Ronny Yu delivers quite the eye candy here, some set pieces not only beautifully filmed and realized, but with disgusting and convincing gore to top it off. The cast here is great. The usually intolerable Jennifer Tilly is a hoot as Chucky's bride and her chemistry with Brad Dourif is wonderfully wicked. The human actors are quite decent as well, with a nice supporting performance from the late John Ritter.

Clever is the word that comes to mind when I think of the mixture of horror and comedy that makes up a good deal of BRIDE OF CHUCKY, much of the humor due to some good one-liners by Chucky (courtesy of BRAD DOURIF's voice). And JENNIFER TILLY does an exceptional job as a dim-witted, evil partner of the doll eventually turned into a doll herself who is just as manic as her boyfriend. NICK STABILE and KATHERINE HEIGL are the leads, the unsuspecting victims of much of the mayhem, who have to confront the evil they're dealing with which leads toward a cemetery in Hackensack where the evil dolls hope to retrieve an amulet from a corpse that will restore their original bodies. It's photographed expertly, well directed by Ronny Yu and there's an unusual amount of range to the expressions on both dolls that make them seem eerily real. The final scene in the cemetery is guaranteed to give you a final startled moment. JOHN RITTER plays his role as Police Chief Kinkaid with some restraint, but it's not much of a part until his gruesome demise. Summing up: Not bad as far as these sort of horror capers go.
