STORY: 3/7 - (but funny)
Curt and Julie are in love. After an accident which leaves Julie dead, Curt takes her body to his fathers lab where he uses the re-animating gas from all the other "Living Dead" dead movies to bring her back.

ACTING: 3.5/7
Melinda Clarke is hilarious at the best of times.

GORE RATING: 4.5/7

Well, of course there's the obligatory limb ripping and flesh eating but the cake-taker in this movie is Julie's self mutilation as shown on the cover of the DVD.


OVERALL: 4/7

Lots of fun weird zombie action.

STORY: 5/7
It has been 8 years since Andy encounterred Chucky at his foster home and he has been "disturbed" ever since. Being unable to to be homed through the foster care system, Andy is a new recruit at the Kent Military School. At the same time (co-incidence much) the now dilapidated Good Guy Doll factory goes back into production. The first doll off the line is, of course, everyone's favourite maniac Chucky. He goes in search of Andy as usual, although once at Kent he realises that this is a new body, and he can choose a new victim to transfer his soul into.

ACTING: 5/7
Brad Dourif IS Chucky. Justin Whalin (Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman) has stepped into the role of teenage Andy Barclay and he does it quite well and the unfortunate role of Chucky's new body-interest Tyler is played (oh-so-annoyingly) by first-timer Jeremy Sylvers.

* Jeremy Sylvers as Tyler *

SCORE / SOUND: 3.5/7
Again, there is nothin all too special here.

GORE RATING: 4.5/7
There's some ok throat slitting and some shooting.
