31 Days of Halloween: Day 4

Barely squeaking in on time is Day 4. I can stay consistent with this...I think I can, I think I can.

Day 4: Bride of Chucky


Breaking up the esteemed trilogy, Bride of Chucky is the 4th of the Killer Foul-Mouthed Puppet series (making it great for Day 4) and is packed full of inside jokes and quirky dark humor.

Jennifer Tilly plays Charles Lee Ray's "Ex-Girlfriend Who Doesn't Know She's An Ex" who gets her hands on the iconic doll and resurrects him once again. She has a crush on the Main Male character and plans on implanting Chucky's personality into him. However, due to personal issues, Tilly and Chucky get into a fight and soon she's in need of a new body as well...so might as well grab Main Male's Main Female. Thus we have plot with some fodder kills along the way.

I'm a fan of the Chucky series, especially the voice work of Brad Dourif as the ever-lovable murdering psychopath doll. It's dive into working in more 'winks' to the audience was enjoyable to me since I'm easily amused by well placed nods to knowledgeable viewers (At least when I can assume I'm a knowledgeable viewer). Also, the supporting cast is solid. Jennifer Tilly plays her role well and provides a few of the movie's better moments. Also, personal favorite John Ritter has a small role that always managed to make me chuckle despite him being, for all purposes, a villain.

The plot is silly at times, but it still works. All-in-all, I enjoyed it. How much? This much:

Grade: B-

So, my first positive review of this month. It's a fun film and fitting of the B rating since it's a solid B-Movie. Not many scares, but plenty of chuckles amid the attempts of horror.

Finally, I enjoyed the way the "best friend" character makes his exit. Mainly because it was the first time I ever saw and exit like that in a film (It's rather common for jump scares or Scary Movie __ jokes now-a-days).

No spoilers this time. Why should I spoil what I like when it's not a DC Review? :)

So, let's end it with a plug:
