Best Slasher Movies

Seed of Chucky has a surprisingly original premise considering this is the fifth movie in the Child’s Play series. Built from that premise is a fun, dark horror comedy. You’ll laugh. You’ll cringe and you’ll hope that this isn’t the swan song for our now beloved Chucky.

There would have been a million ways to ruin this movie – like trying to make it a legitimate horror movie. Seed of Chucky avoids that. It doesn’t take itself seriously and that’s probably it’s greatest strength.

Well, I have to say, if Bride of Chucky isn’t as good – or better – than any other movie in the Child’s Play series it’s damn close.

Bride of Chucky is light years ahead of Child’s Play three in just about every way. Lots of dark humor, lots of gore and great special effect. The movie looks fantastic; clearly a bigger budget venture than the first movies in the series, but for once, a bigger budget isn’t a bad thing.

The killing are creative and deliciously explicit, which is something I feel was really missing from the first three movies in the Child’s Play series and the cast has improved. Andy doesn’t return in Bride of Chucky, but the fresh faces make the movie seem new and fresh. Jennifer Tilly plays a great evil, murderous temptress who becomes Chucky’s bride. Other names of interest: Katherine Hiegl, John Ritter, Alexis Arquette.

In keeping with previous Child’s Play movies, the dark humor really makes this more of a comedy than a horror, but the gore factor definitely deems it one of the best slasher movies of all time. Also, the opening scene is gold, with the many horror classic references it makes; a trend which continues through the rest of the movie.

Although Child’s Play 3 was pretty much universally panned by critics and horror fans alike, I actually enjoyed it. It didn’t offer us anything new but it didn’t stray far from the original series and for that, I appreciate it.

Child’s Play 3 is an entertaining movie but definitely not the best in the series. Watch it and enjoy it for what it is – a good bloody mess. See the scene with Chucky and the barber for a good example of this.

As the title says, Chucky’s back and more evil than ever.

In Child’s Play 2: Chucky’s Back, the spirit of serial killer and voodoo artist Charles Lee Ray is desperate to get out of the doll – Chucky – that has been his home for two years. The carnage that ensues as legendary!

What Child’s Play lacked in gore Child’s Play 2: Chucky’s Back makes up for in buckets. Some argue there are too many plot holes and blah blah blah, but c’mon, people. You’re ready way too far into it. It’s a movie about a serial killer’s spirit possessing a children’s toy which then becomes a serial killer. I don’t think I need to say more about plot holes. It’s just a fun, gory movie. Enjoy it.

Child’s Play gave the world Chucky and for that, horror fans everywhere are grateful. Although we don’t see much gore in Chucky’s maiden voyage it is a wonderfully twisted and frightening introduction to the demented doll that would entertain us over the course of five movies.

Child’s Play takes place back when Chucky was just Chucky. He wasn’t a husband. He wasn’t a father. He was just a doll – a doll inhabited by the spirit of a murderer. He liked to kill and just generally be a little badass. That’s why we loved him.

Child’s play ins a genuinely frightening movie even if it does go a little light on the blood. Chucky is a horror movie icon and when you watch this movie, you understand why.
