Well, I agree with most of the things you said, but the franchise is obviously and most certainly not dead, just because it may not be the classic horror it started out with and that you want it to be. Some people out there like me must be enjoying Chucky the way he is now or we wouldn't have the Curse of Chucky, the Cult of Chucky and the brand new Tv series. He is just a lovable and relatable villain that you can't help but root for, and I would love to have a movie of just Chucky and Tiffany going on adventures and terorizing people. That being said, IT is a masterpiece of a movie that you can't even compare to any kind of a Chucky movie. Of course it's a million times better. Who ever said it wasn't?

2022-03-20 06:26:58 +0000 UTCThey say that once the killer gets his name marketably in the title (eg. "Friday the 13th: Jason Lives"), a horror franchise is doomed. And when you go back and look at director Tom Holland's virtuoso 80's button-pushing on the original "Child's Play", it couldn't be more correct. And you mentioned one reason why: Once the killer is the star of the story, the victims have to "deserve" it, which leads the writer further and further into camp-humor portrayals of how badly they deserve it, and the killer and story soon follow suit. It's often scarier when those who DON'T deserve it are in danger, as we saw with Andy in the first film. (And, as I'm sure Dillon will agree, with the Losers Club in "It"...)

2022-03-20 05:48:00 +0000 UTCThank you, Dillon! You didn't miss anything important in Child's Play 2 and 3. Chucky just spends his time chasing around that Andy kid some more, and this is the first movie where Tiffany was introduced and the series took a shift into horror/comedy, which I enjoy, and where Chucky became the star of the show and all of the following movies end with his name. I like to think of them as having sort of a Joker/Harly Quinn relationship, except Tiffany is more Chucky's equal than his sidekick, but he treats her just as badly one could argue, if not worse at times and also better. Their relationship is super toxic, but it has its ups and downs. They work very well together as a psychotic, killing duo, but only when they're on the same team. Anyway, I love what you said about Chucky being a cool villain. A lot of people feel that way. You end up not being scared of him, but rooting for him because he's just that guy, and the assholes that he killed in this movie all had it coming, anyway. As long as he's not going after children, I'm always rooting for Chucky and Tiffany to win their schemes. They're just so engaging to watch and see what they'll do next, and what chaos they'll cause, especially to people who deserve it.

2022-03-20 03:04:24 +0000 UTCThis was around the time the original producer of the Child’s Play sequels gave up the franchise, and the rights except for the name (which is why they’re legally “Chucky” titles now), reverted to writer Don Mancini, who tried to turn the movies into lovably pottymouthed camp. At least this one got a crazy HK director to handle it, but Mancini’s own kitsch-camp direction on “Seed of Chucky” is…best not mentioned. 😔
