Curse of Chucky Review
So it’s been a while since I’ve written a review, moving and school got in the way, but I thought it was high time for me to get back on the saddle and what better way to do that then with the latest movie in the Chucky franchise, the straight to DVD release Curse of Chucky!
Now for those of you not familiar with the Chucky/Child’s Play movies, here’s a quick history, Child’s Play was released in 1988 and was about a serial killer named Charles Lee Ray, played by Brad Dourif, who is murdered and passed his soul into the body of a Good Guy Doll before he died. The possessed doll is given, unwittingly, to young Andy Barclay and soon enough murders begin to happen. Andy’s mom and the detective who shot Ray eventually figure out that the doll is behind the murders and they rescue Andy and kill Ray once and for all. At least until the sequel was released in 1990. This movie featured Chucky being brought back to life by the Good Guy company in a PR stunt. Chucky looks for Andy again to try and transfer his soul from the doll into Andy’s body. Andy is now living with a foster family after his mother was declared insane. Again, Andy thwarts Chucky. One year later Child’s Play 3 came out set 8 years later and a newly reanimated Chucky goes after a now teenaged Andy in military school. Chucky meets his demise again and the series went on a 7 year hiatus. In 1998 the franchise was relaunched with Bride of Chucky starring Jennifer Tilly as Chucky’s old girlfriend Tiffany who brings him back to life. Chucky kills Tiffany and transfers her soul into the bride doll Tiffany had and the pair con a young couple, the young lady played by a pre-Grey’s Anatomy Katherine Heigl, into driving them up to New Jersey to take an amulet Chucky had on him when he was originally gunned down. Eventually Chucky and Tiffany fight with Chucky killing Tiffany and Heigl’s character gunning Chucky down in his own grave. At the end of the movie, Tiffany’s corpse gives birth. In 2004 the franchise had its final theatrical release with Seed of Chucky. This movie was much more of a comedy-horror and had Chucky and Tiffany rampaging through Hollywood with their gender challenged offspring Glen/Glenda.
Now I’m personally not crazy about the Chucky movies, I just don’t find Chucky to be a scary villain. Now I do think Bride of Chucky is the best movie and the first movie did have some good atmosphere and it did have it’s creepy moments, until the Chucky doll actually had to move and talk. That took away a lot of the tension and it became very silly. Now with Curse of Chucky the writer and creator of the series, Don Mancini, wanted to bring back the horror element and make that the primary aspect again. Does it work? Well I’m reviewing it so what’s your best guess?
The movie opens fast with a package being delivered to a desolate house and a mother and daughter, Sarah and Nica. The daughter, played by Fiona Dourif, is a paraplegic and she endures some flirting from the delivery man which she appreciates. Nica contemplates asking the boy out, but her mother tells her no for fear of her getting hurt. Sara opens the package and inside is a Good Guy doll identifying itself as Chucky. Sarah and Nica don’t understand why the doll was sent to them, but Nica remarks that someone named Alice would love it. Sarah decides to dump the doll in the trash instead.
Later that night, We hear a loud scream. Nica wakes up and checks on her mother, moving in such a way that it is painfully obvious she’s not in her wheelchair, and finds Sarah is not in her bed. Nica uses the elevator to go to the first floor and finds her mother’s bloody body. The camera pans back and we see Chucky sitting in a chair.
After a few days, Nica’s sister, Barb played by Danielle Bisutti, and Father Frank, played by A Martinez, visit Nica to see how she is doing. Apparently they believe their mother’s death to be suicide and they wonder how she could have done that to herself. Nica isn’t overly thrilled about the Father being there as she and her mother left the church long ago, but Barb insists saying they need to pray for their mother. Nica is clearly blaming herself saying she should have kept more of an eye on her mom, but Barb tells her it wasn’t her fault. Barb’s family arrives next, her husband Ian, played by Brennan Elliot, daughter Alice, played by Summer H. Howell, and her nanny Jill, played by Maitland McConnell. Nica tells Alice she has a surprise, but when she looks over to the rocking chair, Chucky is gone. Alice runs up to use the bathroom and Jill and Ian follow. In the bathroom, Alice takes care of business as the camera pans over to the shower as the ominous music plays. The curtain moves getting Alice’s attention. Alice moves slowly towards the shower. Now when I slowly, I mean a glacier would beat her in a race. Alice opens the curtain to reveal Chucky and we get a jump scare as he raises his arm at her. Ian and Jill open the door and find Alice laughing with her new doll.
Barb and Father Frank try to convince Nica to move to an assisted living home and sell the house. Nica realizes that Barb is only interested in the money and Barb admits that her and Ian are struggling, Ian working at Starbucks and they have to send Alice to public school. Nica calls Barb out for having a live in nanny, and thanks to an awkward bit of conversation in the last scene, we found out makes $400 a week. Barb says that Jill isn’t working out. Nica refuses to leave. Ian, Jill, and Alice rejoin them and Nica is clearly surprised that Chucky was in the bathroom. Barb doesn’t really want Alice to keep Chucky saying she has enough dolls already, but Ian says it’s ok. “It’s just a doll. What’s the worst that could happen?” Yes the dialogue is that stupid.
Nica proposes to make dinner for her family and invites Father Frank to join them. Nica and Alice then make some chili, which takes several hours when making from scratch. Also Nica was chopping tomatoes which you’d never do because tomatoes are too soft, but this is a horror movie and they need to make things look really stupid. Nica and Alice go to set the table leaving Chucky alone with the chili. Chucky then dumps rat poison into one of the bowls before Nica returns to the kitchen. Nica is at least not rock stupid as she notices Chucky has moved from the chair to the floor, and while it seems to bother her, she doesn’t press further.
We then have probably the most annoying scene as everyone gathers round the table to eat the chili. Now we know only one bowl is poisoned. We also track that bowl from an overhead shot as everyone takes a seat. Clearly Father Frank gets the poisoned bowl. However, the entire scene plays out like we’re not supposed to know who is getting poisoned. We watch everyone eat and the music and editing is such that we’re supposed to either think everyone is getting poisoned, which is impossible, or the filmmakers think we’re stupid and forgot who got the poisoned bowl. It’s a really stupid scene. Now one thing that’s kind of set up here is that Ian and Jill banter a bit which gets him some looks from Barb so we’re led to believe that something is going down with Ian and Jill. Also we get some musings from Frank about the Good Guy dolls, but he can’t seem to place where he knows about them. Frank eventually starts feeling sick and he decides to leave.
He didn’t get far as the next scene is at a bad accident where Father Frank lost control of his car and died. So yes, after that 5 minute dinner scene, the payoff happens offscreen. No doubt the tight budget meant we didn’t actually get to see the crash. What we do see is some debris being removed from Frank and his head falling off. It’s actually a nice practical effect, but it is weird to only see the aftermath and not the actual crash.
Back at Nica’s house, the family watches old home movies and they try to remember happier times. We also find out that a few week before Nica was born, her father drowned and Sarah was never the same again. We also see a man at the party. This man has long black hair and wears dark sunglasses. Clearly this is meant to be Charles Lee Ray, but he looks so much like Tommy Wiseau, the infamous Director and star of famous great-bad movie The Room, that I couldn’t help but crack up. Alice walks in announcing that Chucky has vanished again. Barb tells her it’s time for bed and that Jill will find Chucky. Ian proposes helping Jill, but Barb quickly puts the kibosh on that. Nica has a weird feeling and leaves to do some research. In now typical horror movie fashion, the phones aren’t working so Nica can’t call the company that delivered Chucky like she wanted.
Upstairs, Jill looks for Chucky, but she has no such luck. We get a POV shot of Chucky lurking around the hall before he moves on. Jill checks the bathroom again, but it leads to nothing. Jill searches the kitchen, but finds nothing save for a missing knife. Jill turns around and is surprised by Barb and Jill rants about having to find a doll. Barb cuts off Jill by making out with her. So this is a bit of a twist because we’ve been made to believe that Ian and Jill were messing around, but it turns out it was Jill and Barb instead.
Back in the family room, Nica is surprised to find Chucky sitting next to Ian on the couch. Again, Nica is suspicious, but not as much as she should be considering this doll teleports around. Nica offers to take Chucky up to Alice and she heads to the elevator. Now on her way up, the power suddenly goes out. Nica calls for help, but no one answers. She pressed the emergency button and Barb and Jill, still in the throws of passion stop. Jill says they don’t really need the money and doesn’t want to make Nica move, but Barb says Nica is a mess and needs professional help.
Back on the elevator Nica is getting more scared, it’s storming outside. Suddenly Nica hears a knife unsheathe, which makes no sense as there is no sheathe to pull the knife from, and in the crack of lightning Chucky’s head has turned 180 to face Nica and is laughing maniacally scaring her further. The power comes back on and Nica leaves the elevator and sees Alice. Now Nica has been shown to be a pretty smart character and she clearly has some suspicions about the doll. Now here all that gets thrown away because she completely ignores what JUST happened and gives the doll back to Alice, even after Chucky moves his head back into place and they just think it’s something the doll can do. This scene makes zero sense.
Now after that, Barb has made her way upstairs and she and Nica have a small fight about Nica needing to admit she needs help. Nica refuses to budge insisting she can take care of herself. Alice notices a cut on Nica’s leg from a knife and Barb;s worry grows, especially since Nica couldn’t even feel the cut.
In Alice’s room, Barb and her daughter say a prayer and Barb asks Alice why she didn’t include Chucky. Alice says that Chucky told her there is no God and that life’s a bitch, then you die. Alice scolds her daughter and is clearly upset at her daughter’s claims about Chucky telling her things. Not enough to take Chucky away of course. Meanwhile Nica was able to make a call on her phone to the delivery company, but the call keeps dropping out, but Nica is able to make out that the package came from an evidence depository. Back in Alice’s room, she’s become too afraid of the storm and hides under the covers with a flashlight. She tells Chucky that she’s scared and we finally see the doll talk, and boy is it ever fucking terrible. Chucky laughs and tells her she should be.
Nica rolls down the hallway and checks in on Alice and sees her and Chucky in bed, or at least a big mass next to Chucky. Jill suddenly appears and Nica confesses to being curious about the origins of the doll. Jill says that she’s just happy to see Alice so full of joy again and the ladies say their goodnights. Jill starts changing for bed and we, sort of, see Chucky climbs out of his bed. Nica goes back downstairs to do some more investigations about Chucky and the Good Guy dolls. She finds a lot of stories about the events of the other movies and reads about Andy Barclay.
Back upstairs, Jill strips to her underwear and starts a video call with Barb. We also see Chucky crawl under her bed. Nica reads about Charles Lee Ray. Barb and Jill silently video chat, which really doesn’t make sense, are they going to just look at each other or are they going to actually try and have webcam sex while Ian is in bed with Barb and Jill, as far as she knows, has a young girl in the same room? Barb looks at her wedding ring and then at Ian missing Chucky as he pops up behind Jill. Barb catches movement and tries to get Jill’s attention thinking Alice is awake. Downstairs Nica clicks on a photo of Charles Lee Ray. We see Chucky standing by Jill, somehow not seeing him in her peripheral vision. She finally looks over and Chucky knocks over the pot catching the rain water and that electrocutes Jill who had her laptop plugged in, in what ends up being a really lame death as Jill just sits there sort of twitching. The power goes out just as Nica sees a picture of Charles Lee Ray, looking very little like 1988 Brad Dourif, and Barb also doesn’t see a clear shot of Jill’s death. The Chucky animatronics continue to look terrible by the way.
In Ian and Barb’s room, Ian wakes up and Barb tells him the power is out and that she is going to check on Alice. Ian says that’s what they pay Jill for, but Barb persists. Ian then reveals that he knows about Barb and Jill, or at least suspects given how he says he notices how they look at each other, and that he planet a nanny cam on Chucky earlier in the day and he will take Alice away from Barb if he has to. Barb threatens him and Ian puts in ear plugs as she leaves. Meanwhile, the cop who was at the scene of Father Frank’s death finds out that Frank was at Nica’s house all day and he speeds over to see if he can find out anything.
Barb walks through the house and follows a shadow she thinks belongs to Alice. Barb turns the corner and sees Chucky sitting on the steps leading to the attic. Nica is stuck on the first floor and calls out. Barb appears holding Chucky and Nica tries to tell her about the doll. They have a conversation straight out of a sitcom where Nica tries telling Barb about something being in the doll and Barb thinking she’s talking about the nanny cam. Barb then unloads on Nica saying that it’s not her, Barb’s, fault that Nica is paralyzed and dropped out of school and stayed in the house. Barb marches off to the attic to try and find Alice. Nica calls out to the others, but with Ian deaf and Jill dead, she has no choice but to try and crawl back up the stairs. Barb wanders around the attic calling for Alice. She finally feels something lumpy on Chucky and pulls out a large knife, which in no way could have possibly fit in Chucky’s overalls without someone noticing. Barb puts Chucky down and continues to search while Nica finally reaches the second floor. Barb is startled by a rat and bumps into Chucky sitting above her. She notices Chucky’s face sees to be loose and pulls off some makeup revealing the scars that Chucky has had since Bride of Chucky. Chucky then bites at Barb’s hand sending her to the floor. Chucky comes at her with the knife and pulls off the rest of the make up and also improving the dolls appearance dramatically. Chucky says that Alice now knows there is no God and comments that Barb has her mother’s eyes before stabbing her in one.
Nica hears Barb’s screams and hurries to the Attic steps. The door opens and Barb’s eye comes bouncing down the steps. Barb then falls down the steps falling on a terrified Nica. Chucky emerges at the top of the steps and Nica crawls to a closet for another wheelchair. She makes it to the chair because the CGI Chucky looks too terrible to actually get her. Nica opens the door to Alice’s room and find her missing as well as Jill’s body. Nica makes it to Ian’s room and tells him that everyone is dead and Alice is missing. Ian runs from the room to Alice’s and finds Jill’s body. Ian carries Nica back downstairs to the garage so they can make their escape, but Chucky watches them.
Ian leaves Nica in the garage going back into the house to find his daughter. Nica warns him to stay away from the doll. Ian searches the house, but he can’t find Alice. Chucky sneaks into the garage and starts the car trying to kill Nica with the exhaust fumes. Nica grabs a hatchet o break into the car to shut it off, but Chucky swallows the keys. Ian enters the scene and takes the axe from Nica and begins to suspect that Nica is behind the murders. Nica pleads with him and she clutches her chest as her heart begins to fail. She passes out as she sees Chucky moving towards Ian.
When we come back, Ian has duct taped Nica to her chair and he demands to know what Nica has done with Alice before taping her mouth shut. Ian then uses his laptop to examine the footage from the camera he planted on Chucky. Ian speeds through the footage of various parts of the movie before seeing Chucky locking Alice in a closet somewhere under the pretense of playing hide and seek. Now this house doesn’t seen that big so Alice almost had to have heard all of the screaming and cries for her name. Ian switches to the live feed from the camera and sees that Chucky is moving towards him and Nica, though Ian doesn’t seem to do anything about it. Chucky pushes Nica into Ian which somehow flips Ian into the air. Chucky then slams the axe down onto Ian’s mouth.
Chucky then charges at Nica, but she manages to free her hands and raise her chair so Chucky’s axe slams into her useless legs. Nica punches Chucky away, pulls the axe from her leg and decapitates Chucky. Nica goes over to a drawer to get a scarf for her injury and behind her we see Chucky’s body sit up and reattach his head in a lame copy of the iconic shot from the original Halloween. Chucky rushes at Nica and sends her and her chair flying off the second floor. Nica somehow survives the 12-15 foot fall. Chucky walks down the stairs and savors his victory and then we get a LOT of talking. This movie is determined to crawl towards the finish line.
At last we get to the reason why Chucky is attacking this family. Chucky reveals that he was a “friend” of the family and we flashback to the party seen in the home movie earlier where Chucky is introduced to Sarah, her husband, and a young Barb. We then move to the funeral where Chucky smiles at Sarah and Sarah realizes that Chucky had something to do with her husbands death. A short time later, Chucky has taken Sarah hostage and intends to take in Sarah, Barb, and the unborn Nica in as his family. The police arrive and Chucky stabs Sarah in her stomach which is what led to Nica being a paraplegic. This is also apparently the night that he died.
Now in the interest of getting through this damn movie I’ll hold off on commenting on how stupid this plot point is until the movie is over. Chucky reveals that he used his voodoo to save himself and become the killer doll. He’s now back to finally exact revenge on Nica’s family. Chucky mentions how much Nica reminds him of Andy and Nica asks if he killed Andy too. Chucky says in a way, he killed his childhood. He adds that he killed Nica 25 years ago as well and she’s just been on life support. Nica then begins to mock Chucky for never killing Andy. Nica accuses Chucky of having completion anxiety, something she studied in college and laughs at him for waiting 25 years to kill someone. The lights suddenly turn back on and Nica crawls towards the elevator as fast as she can. Chucky slips in the blood allowing Nica enough time to get into the elevator, hilariously regaining use of her legs and tucking them in to close the door. Nica has to hold the gate closed and Chucky slashes at her hands. Nica grabs the knife and pulls hit from Chucky and dares him to play. He opens the gate and charges her and she stabs him in the back. When she pulls out the knife only stuffing comes out of it and Chucky snaps awake.
Outside the cop finally arrives at the house and hears Nica’s cries for help. He happens upon the scene and looks up the stairs and sees Barb’s body which is impossible given that Barb’s body was over by the attic steps. The cop sees the bloody knife in Nica’s hands and the camera pans over to Chucky sitting silently in a chair in the corner.
Some time later in court, Nica has been charged with the murders and will now be committed to an insane asylum. Nica is rolled by the other bits of evidence, the rat poison, axe, knife, and Chucky. Nica doesn’t exactly do her sanity any favors by screaming at the doll that she is still alive. She also laughs maniacally as she is wheeled out of the court. The cop who found Nica looks at the Chucky doll. The cop carries the evidence bag containing Chucky to his car and calls someone leaving a message that he is on his way and he wants his money. The cop notices that Chucky is breathing and Tiffany, once again played by Jennifer Tilly, pops up from the backseat and slits the cops throat remarking that they never learn. She opens the bag and asks who’s next. Tiffany is then shown at a delivery company setting up the next delivery.
We then cut to Alice arriving home at her grandma’s, yes she was still alive and vanished for the final 30 minutes of the film. She sees an opened package on the table and turns around to see Chucky. She’s happy to see him and laments that Nica killed her mom and dad. Chucky says he’s her friend and now it’s time to play hide the soul. He begins the chant to transfer his soul into her body, again something that doesn’t make any sense, and the camera pans around the apartment and Alice’s grandma pops into frame with a plastic bag over her head in a final lame jump scare.
The movie is not over though as we have a post credits scene set 6 months later. A familiar package is delivered to a young man. He takes it to his apartment, but gets a phone call before he can open it. We realize this is indeed Andy Barclay, played by Alex Vincent. The caller is Andy’s mom calling him about visiting for his birthday the following day. We see a knife emerge from the package and slice it open as the camera pans over to pictures revealing that this is indeed a now adult Andy. Chucky rises from the box and looks around savoring the moment. He turns around and a shotgun is in his face. Andy cocks it and says “Play with this.” Chucky manages to get out “Andy no!” before Andy fires. This is legitimately the best scene in the entire movie. It ends the movie on a high note and it fits a lot better than the scene we got with Alice just before the credits. I imagine this was the actual ending, but the producers decided to change things up for some reason.
This is a bad movie folks. It commits probably the worst sin for a horror movie because it is insanely boring. The first half tries to set up tension, but it just drags with it’s dull characters and there is no tension because we know Chucky is alive so there’s no suspense. Also the biggest problem and easily the most egregious is the fact that the Chucky mythos is so radically changed for no reason. In the first movie it was clearly stated that Chucky becomes more human the more time he spends in the doll body, we always see this as he will bleed from injuries. In this movie they change all that and he is now just a living doll. Also part of that is that Chucky will eventually become trapped in his body if he stays in it for too long so him transferring his soul into Alice makes no sense, especially since in the Andy Scene we see him back in his doll body, another clue that the Andy scene was supposed to be the actual ending. The radical change to Chucky’s backstory also make no sense. In Bride of Chucky it was made clear that Chucky didn’t want a family or even a wife, as he laughed in Tiffany’s face when she mentioned the idea. Tiffany is also ignored in the backstory as she was/is Chucky’s girlfriend so why is Chucky now this weirdo obsessed with a family? He was a serial killer! The events also don’t mesh up at all with the opening to the original Child’s Play movie.
Now the main reason all of this is so terrible is because of Don Mancini. This is the guy that created this character. He wrote every movie. He has completely changed nearly everything about Chucky for no reason. How Don Mancini can so blatantly ignore everything he wrote, while still somehow referencing it is a feat I never thought I’d see. The changes would at least make a little sense if this was an actual remake of the series, but it’s clearly a normal sequel and that makes the changes so bizarre.
The designs of Chucky were also terrible. While this has never been the strongest point of the series, they always at least attempted to make the dolls look alike. This movie though makes it look like 3 different effects houses made the dolls. None of them look right and seeing them talk is laughable instead of terrifying.
Now I will give credit where it is due and I will say that Fiona Dourif does give a very good performance. She’s not given the best material to work with, but she really does put a lot of passion into her performance and she did make me care about her character to her credit. Brad Dourif does have a knack for this character and I was glad he did reprise the role so at least the father and daughter combo did good work.
That being said this is terrible and the positive reviews I’ve seen this getting baffle me. I think that people are letting nostalgia overtake them because this is a bad movie. The characters, bar Nica and Chucky, are just as stock and wooden and boring as any others in countless modern horror movies. The deaths are very lame and not at all creative and the story makes zero sense. Avoid this one like the plague folks!
Barb and Father Frank try to convince Nica to move to an assisted living home and sell the house. Nica realizes that Barb is only interested in the money and Barb admits that her and Ian are struggling, Ian working at Starbucks and they have to send Alice to public school. Nica calls Barb out for having a live in nanny, and thanks to an awkward bit of conversation in the last scene, we found out makes $400 a week. Barb says that Jill isn’t working out. Nica refuses to leave. Ian, Jill, and Alice rejoin them and Nica is clearly surprised that Chucky was in the bathroom. Barb doesn’t really want Alice to keep Chucky saying she has enough dolls already, but Ian says it’s ok. “It’s just a doll. What’s the worst that could happen?” Yes the dialogue is that stupid.
From that day on, Jill would transform into a terrifying creature at the stroke of midnight. Her once radiant beauty was replaced with grotesque features and sharp claws. The villagers were terrified and began referring to her as Chuckuj Jill, a name that instilled fear and unease. Jill became an outcast, shunned by her friends and family who were afraid of her condition. She was forced to live in the outskirts of the village, in a dark and desolate cave. It is said that Jill's heart remained pure despite her monstrous appearance. She would often weep in solitude, longing for her former life and the love and acceptance she once had. Years passed, and the tale of Chuckuj Jill became a cautionary story passed down through generations. People warned their children to never cross paths with the cursed girl, for fear that her curse could be contagious and spread to others. It became a belief that if one were to come face to face with Chuckuj Jill, they would also be cursed and transformed. To this day, the legend of Chuckuj Jill persists in the region. Some believe that her curse still haunts the village, causing misfortune and tragedy to befall those who cross its path. Others see it as a cautionary tale, a reminder of the dangers of envy and the importance of accepting others for who they are. Whether the Curse of Chuckuj Jill is simply a tale or based on true events, it serves as a reminder of the power of words and the consequences they can carry. It emphasizes the importance of empathy and acceptance, and the dangers of jealousy and revenge. Chuckuj Jill's story continues to captivate the imagination and serve as a warning to all who hear it..
Reviews for "The Curse of Chuckuj Jill: A Dark Legacy Revealed"
- John - 1 star
This movie was an absolute disaster. The storyline was confusing and made no sense. The acting was horrendous, I could not believe how terrible the performances were. The special effects were laughable, it looked like they were done by someone using cheap software from the 90s. Overall, "Curse of Chuckuj Jill" was a waste of time and money. Do not bother watching it.
- Sarah - 2 stars
I had high hopes for "Curse of Chuckuj Jill" but it fell short in every aspect. The plot had potential but it was never fully developed. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked any depth. The scares were predictable and the jump scares were incredibly cheesy. I felt like I was watching a low-budget horror film from the 80s. I wanted to like this movie, but I just couldn't.
- David - 2.5 stars
"Curse of Chuckuj Jill" was a mediocre horror film at best. The story had potential but it was poorly executed. The pacing was off, with slow and dragging scenes that made me lose interest. The scares were weak and I was never truly frightened. The performances were average, nothing memorable. If you're a die-hard horror fan, you may find some enjoyment in this film, but for casual viewers, it's not worth the time.
