Cult of Chucky [Blu-ray]

OK. I have seen and heard all of the negative reviews and quite honestly I half agree with them and half disagree with them. So I do agree that the series is dragging on and at times grasping for straws to keep it alive. Now on the other hand it is very cool to see someone keep this series alive and well I mean lets face it next to Michael Meyers, I mean C-MON people its CHUCKY. I almost forgot for the haters, yes the movie did have a plot and tie in to the series that made sense, those comments are total BS. The movie leaves off and is a sequel to CHILD'S PLAY 6 curse of CHUCKY. Andy barkley has CHUCKY locked up in a secret vault, the original that is and what is left of him anyways. He toys with him to torture CHUCKY as CHUCKY tortured Andy. Mean while the main character from curse of CHUCKY is sent to a mental institution when the therapist introduces a good guy doll for therapy, soon after that strange things start to happen and the murders start all over again, but how CHUCKY is locked up at ANDY's which is confusing until it is revealed that the curse works on any good guy doll and Charles lee Ray can transfer his soul into multiple good guy dolls which explains how CHUCKY has 9 lives and always comes back. So Andy comes to the hospital to save the day but gets locked up in the institution when we learn CHUCKY can transfer his soul into humans as well. Now CHUCKY is on the loose again with his bride tiffany as a human. The movie leaves you with the major cliffhanger makes you want to see the next sequel. Now the series has to end, CHUCKY got power to transfer his soul to another human and with ANDY back in the picture will Charles LEE Ray somehow find his remains and get out of the Doll or curse if you may or will ANDY DESTROY CHUCKY FOREVER. TO BE CONTINUED.

I love the Chucky franchise and now have all the movies and love watching them on blu-ray

Timely delivery

From the 1988 classic to the guilty pleasure sequels, I continue to enjoy this evil doll franchise![I viewed the Unrated Version.]This 7th Child’s Play installment continues Curse of Chucky’s story and offers a brief recap—but ideally one would see Curse before moving on to this. Andy (Alex Vincent; Child’s Play 1-2, Curse of Chucky) continues to live a tortured life. With now scores of victims in the wake of his childhood killer that has gone uncaught for over 30 years, Andy’s social life has been reduced to spending weekends chatting up and torturing the severed head of an undying Good Guy Doll that taunts him to no end. Even with proof that Chucky (Brad Dourif; The Hazing, Dune, Curse of Chucky) is a “living” possessed doll, no one believes him, passing it off as a clever stunt.Meanwhile, after being diagnosed a schizophrenic and electro-shocked in a mental institution for four years, Nica (Fiona Dourif; True Blood, Curse of Chucky, The Master) has been tutored by psychiatrists that Chucky was just a fantasy masking her mass murder of her family. But her grasp on reality is taunted as Good Guy Dolls seem to improbably find their way into her psychiatric facility: appearing her group therapy sessions, mailed packages and even from a gift from a strange visitor (Jennifer Tilly; Bride of Chucky, Seed of Chucky, Curse of Chucky).Unlike Curse, which demonstrated a tactful restraint before revealing Chucky, this movie dives right into the deep end using Curse as the diving board. Because of the story continuity with Andy and Nica’s recent experiences, the mystique of the possessed doll gets skipped entirely.Brad Dourif continues to please fans voicing Chucky (as he has for the entire franchise), and Fiona nails some good scenes (those that were written well, anyway). Their performances along the loving direction of Don Mancini (Curse of Chucky, Seed of Chucky)—who took part in writing all of the Child's Play franchise installments and several related short films—make this another entertaining contribution to the series after the campy Bride of Chucky (1998) and Seed of Chucky (2004). After the outlandishly farcical events and pacing of the 4th and 5th movies, Curse dialed things back only for Cult to return us to insanity! Whereas Curse boasted a serious poker face (with a reasonable story) and a return to the old-fashioned malevolence that could make homicidal dolls menacing again, Cult is reintroducing us to Chucky’s sadistic sense of humor and the franchise’s historical tendency for lunacy.Maybe this movie is going too far off the deep end again much like Bride and Seed. The third act is incredibly zany and the dialogue takes a very campy shift. Many of the lines and death scenes were over the top, but I enjoyed them anyway. My favorites were the broken glass death and the two (yes, two) extremely gory head-stomping scenes. When things start to feel a bit silly, the gore keeps our interest. And as with Curse, the production quality was solid, including some decent cinematography. As for the Chucky effects, I really enjoyed the range of facial expressions (as with Curse).Cult ties in perfectly to Curse and then leaves the potential for an infinite supply of sequels. Although, I’m not so sure as to how many we’ll get. Whether Mancini continues to back them or we get a big budget reboot/remake for theatrical release, I’ll be on board!

Awesome movie

I don't understand how polarized this movie's collective viewer reaction has been. From my standpoint, (the standpoint of a long-time Chucky franchise fan), writer/director Don Mancini has triumphed in his continued attempt the refresh this saga. While I certainly agree that if this is your FIRST exposure to a Chucky movie you are bound to have a multitude of questions, who ever said that the seventh installment in a horror franchise had to fully inform every "Johnny-come-lately" as to the course of action? This movie should motivate those who aren't familiar with Chucky to go back and watch every installment, THEN they can understand and be involved. Don Mancini's first directorial attempt with "Seed of Chucky" was and remains equally polarizing. But even tracing the growth of his skill as a director from "Seed" to "Curse" to "Cult" lent an added kick for me. Technically, the color palette contrasts stark, neutral backgrounds with vivid hues on Chucky, Tiffany, and the blood that's spilled throughout, which creates a highly stylized look unlike any other Chucky movie. And I can only hope this movie generates enough profit and demand for the next chapter which, I predict, would also play out as another welcome departure from the otherwise cookie-cutteresque genre of the horror sequel.

Me encantan las películas de Chucky, así que cuando vi que Universal Studios había lanzado "Cult Of Chucky" la séptima película de la saga en formato Blu-Ray, la compré de inmediato. Llegó rápido y en perfectas condiciones. Se ve espectacular con una calidad de imagen fuera de serie, ojalá algún día salga en formato 4K

La Maledizione di Chucky è un film horror che si distingue per la sua capacità di riportare in vita una delle icone più spaventose del cinema: Chucky, la bambola assassina. Diretto in modo magistrale da Don Mancini, che ha scritto la sceneggiatura di tutti i film della serie, questo capitolo offre una nuova e coinvolgente esperienza nel mondo di Chucky.Ciò che colpisce immediatamente di questo film è la sua atmosfera inquietante e claustrofobica. Mancini è riuscito a creare un'ambientazione che riesce a farci sentire costantemente in pericolo, anche nei momenti più tranquilli. La fotografia oscura e i suoni sinistri contribuiscono a creare una tensione costante che ci tiene incollati allo schermo.La storia de La Maledizione di Chucky si sviluppa in modo intelligente e imprevedibile. Il film parte da dove il precedente capitolo aveva lasciato, ma introduce nuovi elementi che spingono la trama in direzioni inaspettate. La trama si dipana attraverso una serie di colpi di scena ben costruiti, mantenendo lo spettatore sulle spine fino all'ultima scena.Brad Dourif, che presta la voce a Chucky, offre una performance eccezionale. Riesce a conferire alla bambola un mix unico di umorismo nero e malvagità, rendendola un personaggio indimenticabile. Il resto del cast, composto da talenti come Fiona Dourif e Jennifer Tilly, offre interpretazioni convincenti e coinvolgenti che contribuiscono a creare una dinamica avvincente.Infine, La Maledizione di Chucky offre anche una riflessione interessante sulle conseguenze delle nostre azioni e sulla natura della colpa. Il film ci invita a riflettere sulle conseguenze delle nostre scelte e sul fatto che il male può manifestarsi anche in forme inaspettate.

Outlandish plot but it’s a chucky movieBetter than expected

Misma edición que la española. Peliculón de terror muy clásico que busca devolvernos al muñeco diábolico que daba miedete hace décadas, con menos elementos paródicos que las dos últimas entregas de Chucky. Calidad de imagen y sonido sobresalientes y unos extras bastante entretenidos.

Sesto capitolo della saga creata da Don Mancini che dopo gli ultimi due episodi più improntanti sul grottesco, ritorna alle origini con un film decisamente più horror e pauroso.Il nostro si occupa anche della regia.Nel cast compare (ed è un bel comparire) Fiona Dourif, figlia dell'immenso Brad, nel ruolo della protagonista e antagonista del redivivo Chucky.L'edizione Horror Maniacs è semplicemente splendida: copertina cartonata per racchiudere la custodia amaray, contenuti extra abbondanti ed interessanti, qualità audio/video impeccabile (tracce audio in DTS HD Master audio).Assolutamente imprescindibile per i fan della saga (uno dei capitoli migliori a mio parere) e oggettivamente un ottimo film di genere.
