Bride Of Chucky

Bride Of Chucky (1998)
Seen on DVD 2nd Oct 2008

This is, of course, the last of the GOOD Chucky movies.
This is also the place that Chucky made the turn from horror with a touch a comedy, to simply hilarious horror. It really is an 80's classic for the 90's.

STORY: 5.5/7
The tales of the murderous Good Guy Doll "Chucky" are all but fogotten. Andy Barclay is nowhere to be found and all seems to be right with the world. That is, until Charles Lee Ray's old girlfriend Tiffany tracks down the police storage locker that the "remains" of the Chucky doll are stored in. Tiffany takes the remains, sews themn all back together in a beautifully grotesque display of her love, and using her "Voodoo For Dummies" book, she restores Chucky's soul into the body of the doll.

Dissapointed and angry with her, Chucky kills Tiff and traps her soul in the body of a bridal doll. The pair (after a dramatic makeover scene) trick a pair of young lovers into carrying the dolls on a road trip to find the human body of Charles Lee Ray so that they can find the Heart of Damballa abd finally be out of their doll bodies.

ACTING: 5/7
Brad Dourif. ('nuff said?) and if you could ever possibly improve on that, it would be the inclusion of Jennifer Tilly. Tilly and Dourif are absolutely brilliant together with some hilarious banter going on between them. This movie also contains my favourite ever Katherine Heigl role.

SCORE / SOUND: 5/7
The soundtrack to this movie is super cool hardcore fun action. Lots of those movie-appropriate rock songs by White Zombie, Rob Zombie, Static X, Slayer and of course Blondie.

GORE RATING: 5/7
"Were you born with that knife superglued to your hand or what?
For god's sake Chucky, drag yourself into the 90s.
Stabbings went out with Bundy and Dahmer.
You look like Martha Stewart with that thing."
