Best Slasher Movies

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.
