This movie is so fresh and I really like how it ties with Childs Play very well and gives that horror feeling once again. It would be amazing to see an Annabelle and Chucky movie come out after the 8th instalment of the Chucky franchise.

Bringing us another Chucky movie wasn't needed, but expanding on its lore is actually quite fun. "Cult Of Chucky" is actually the most entertaining sequel out of the entire series and it does bring some fresh, fun ideas to the table, which are truly appreciated by now.

Chucky veers away from the slasher genre and into the absurd once again, but there's enough humorous bits for a good time.

proof you can bring back a franchise and not DESTROY it.

Part of me wonders if there's been a major horror franchise that's made the comeback more successfully than this reboot of the Chucky franchise. You could make the argument that Ash vs Evil Dead is at the top of that list and that's a valid argument, but the original Evil Dead trilogy remains high-quality to this day. There wasn't a clear drop-off as there was for Jason, Freddy, Myers, Leatherface, Jigsaw and, yes, even Chucky in some of their later installments. All of these 'monsters' have made comebacks and, again, out of all of them, the one that seems to have made the transition most successfully, at least creatively speaking, has been the recent Chucky movies. I say creatively, because both of these movies were direct-to-video affairs. I think that obviously limits your reach, but it's also an approach that allows you certain creative freedoms since there aren't many eyes on you. The studio isn't on your ass to make it more appealing to a wider audience because they plan to release it in theaters. Plus with platforms like Netflix and Amazon, your movie will, hopefully, reach more viewers than you would have based on DVD sales/rentals alone. Admittedly, I was a fan of Curse of Chucky. For a B-tier horror movie, it was quite entertaining and it brought the franchise back in a way that didn't feel like it was cashing in on the nostalgia of it being a new Chucky movie. I was actually pretty excited for this sequel. I mean as excited as you can be for a direct-to-video sequel. I know it seems like I'm 'raving' about this reboot franchise. Let's just get this out of the way, I don't think either Curse or Cult of Chucky are great horror films. They don't reinvent the wheel for the Chucky franchise, much less for the whole genre of horror as we know it. But the movies play to their strengths and hide their weaknesses. Well, as much as they can anyway. The film has always had a tongue-in-cheek tone, a tone they pushed into full-on comedy prior to the reboots. The fact is that the film cannot take itself too seriously. If it did, it might have reached unimaginable levels of badness. The fact they don't allows them to poke fun at themselves and the fact that a serial killer used an incantation/spell to trap his spirit in the body of a Good guy doll. This movie is a continuation of the last one, with Nica, believing that she made up the fact that Chucky murdered her family in order to cope with the guilt of her actions. As a result, she is sent to an insane asylum when, of course, Chucky appears in the asylum to mess with her head. I think perhaps the movie messes up in that it focuses too much on the human characters inside this asylum as opposed to having Chucky gradually kill off the patients/doctors/nurses. There's one major, and fairly gruesome, death about halfway through the film and that's really it until the third act. And, honestly, I just don't know if that was the right approach for this film. It's not that it's bad at any time, but the film clearly is at its best when Chucky is around fucking with people and being an absolute dick to them while he kills them. The most inspired bits in the entire movie come at the end of the movie where THREE Chuckys run loose in the asylum. They give each other shit and it is pretty fucking great. And I'm like even imagining if the entire film had three Chuckys running loose and it's just such wasted potential, to me at least. Having said that, I do think the film has some surprisingly solid characters. Nica's arc continues from the last film and Fiona Dourif is great in the role. I think the movie manages to use its characters in the asylum in a way that doesn't feel like they're poking fun at people's mental illness. I may have totally interpreted it wrong, but that's just the way I saw it. For example, Multiple Malcolm who, you guessed it, has multiple personalities is a fun character in that the personalities he has are those of famous people and it's a running joke in the film. Nica has to figure out who he is at any given time. Also, the guy who plays Malcolm, Adam Hurtig, does a hell of a Jesse Eisenberg impression (one of his personalities is Mark Zuckerberg). I suppose that could be seen as poking fun at people with multiple personalities, but I still thought Malcolm made for an interesting supporting character. I think Don Mancini felt more comfortable with his character developing because, as I mentioned, they take the spotlight away from Chucky to build up these characters and the mystery, at least to the doctor, of the patients that are dying and if Nica is truly behind these murders. I will say that the third act of the film kicks the gore and violence up a notch and it was quite a lot of fun. Everything they don't give you for, say, the prior 75 minutes is more than made up for here. One of the funnier aspects of this climax is the fact that Andy, trying to reach Nica at the asylum to prove her innocence, sneaks in a Chucky doll (that then proceeds to help kill the head doctor) with a gun in its stomach. When Andy retrieves this gun, Chucky's very tiny guts spill out. It was a silly little touch, but it made me laugh. I will say that, again, I thought that this was a good little B-tier horror movie. Not gonna change your opinion of horror movies if you hate them, but it will entertain you. Or at least it entertained me. And, again, with the way this film ends, I am genuinely interested in seeing how the story moves forward now that Nica ***SPOILERS*** seemingly has been possessed by Charles Lee Ray's murderous spirit. She's escaped the asylum, so now we have to see where this leads her in the future. Yes, once again, I am excited for the future of this franchise and that's not something I can say for much these days. Whether it be horror or not. I would recommend this if you have Netflix. I don't think this is the type of movie I'd have spent money on (at least not more than $8), but, overall, I did have fun watch this. And that's all that matters to me.

the film was just brilliant, the jokes are really funny and classic characters from the franchise came back such as Andy, Kyle and the best one of them all tiffany. sometimes the special effects are not very good but is a direct to dvd movie, i dont expect more. over all i think its worth watch it and definetley recomend it.

One of the best Chucky movies.

not a good story line a very low budget movie but funny OK 6/10

A disappointing entry in this storied series, Cult of Chucky attempts to set a new course and makes a mess of things in the process. After her family is killed by Chucky, Nica is committed to a mental hospital but finds that Chucky has followed her there looking to finish the job. There's also a worthless subplot with Andy (from the first three films) that the writers don't seem to know what to do with but got boxed into by Curse's end credit scenes. And all the old mythology about Charles Ray (aka Chucky) and his voodoo powers gets thrown out and replaced. Still, the kills are pretty entertaining (in a horror movie king of way), and there's a bit of mystery as to which of the two dolls at the hospital is the real Chucky and what his plan is. Cult of Chucky lacks vision and ends up as just another dumb, pointless slasher film.

Cult of Chucky is by far one of the best in the series, creating incredible tension with some stunning visuals and incredible performances. It's got some of the most creative and insane visual sequences in any of the Chucky movies and it's just a blast to see. Bring on the next one Don, I wanna play some more.

!!!SPOILERS!!!Chucky 7 ( Cult of Chucky ) is for me the greatest film in the saga ( with child's play 2 ). My reasons:1. Actors are talented2.Chucky is even more creepy with his cult3. The setting is perfect for this movie4. This relation between the chucky's and andy+Nica is awesome5. The kills are 3 times more original and the gore is 7 times more bloody6. Chucky isn't a piece of s**t like in chucky 4 and 5, he his coherent and terrifying.7. The musics and special effects are amazing.8. Simply Chucky...Now what I found a bit bad:1. Too much white2. Need to see more scenes with ChuckyThat was my quick review, I really enjoyed the movie as a fan of Chucky.

One of the best Childs Play (Chucky) films this is film 7 all horror fans should see.

chucky is back better than ever, Don Mancini took his creation back to the roots of how chucky should be, a killing psycho who kills anyone who pisses him off, this is the most graphic in the series, the deaths are brutal and i can see why Australia gave it a R rating, there are 2 versions the us R cut which is shown on netflix and the more gory cut unrated cut which is 2 minutes longer and the death go into more gory detail than the R cut, i have seen both and i have to say only see the unrated cut as it so brutal it leaves the R tame in compassion, the best since the original 3 movies and that says alot as bride and seed had to much humour and took away what the first 3 had, bride and seed are ok films but due to the dark humour it just doesnt fill like childs play and this film does, it good to see both curse and cult went back to original roots, more gore lets humour. and i hope there is a another film to follow what Don Mancini did for curse and cult making it a new trilogy and pretending bride and seed weren't made as they felt like spin offs then the real thing

If any of the Child's Play installments before this one made you question the franchise, Cult of Chucky will restore your faith in this deranged doll and all his unhinged antics.

...a strong entry that takes the series in decidedly unexpected (and not always successful, admittedly) directions.
