As the story progresses, it becomes clear that this doll is more than just a toy. Chucky comes to life and starts wreaking havoc on Nica and her family.

Can "immortal" be used to describe someone that lives forever, yet can be destroyed?
However, that does not directly imply "can't be destroyed", as far as I can see. My logic (which might be wrong!) tells me that someone might live forever by not aging or ever being sick, i.e. never die of natural cause but still, can be killed by unnatural causes. This logic is supported by numerous mythology related films I've watched over the years, where gods of all kinds (and a God should be immortal, right?) are killed and destroyed, e.g. it's even mentioned in this question on a sister site on SE. So my question is: can the word "immortal" in plain speech or writing, be used to describe something that still can be killed or destroyed? If not, how do you explain this inconsistency, language-wise?

@Sam two answers so far claim otherwise, one using definitions from various dictionaries. You have any source for the "often times"? :)
Mar 22, 2016 at 15:58The concept of immortality is very confusing because we can't see that in our real world, every living being can die. The deep question here is will they die?.
Mar 22, 2016 at 16:27I have read a great deal of fantasy literature that uses "immortal" in this fashion. Lord of the Rings is a prominent example.
Mar 22, 2016 at 16:56 The Christian god is referred to as "eternal" rather than "immortal" for this very reason. Mar 23, 2016 at 3:06The movie intelligently incorporates elements of suspense, mystery, and psychological horror, keeping audiences on the edge of their seats throughout.

Overall, "Curse of Chucky" is a chilling and entertaining horror film that delivers on scares, suspense, and a compelling story. With strong performances, atmospheric visuals, and a smart script, it proves that the Chucky franchise is still capable of delivering thrills and keeping audiences engaged. **If you're a fan of the killer doll or just enjoy a good horror film, "Curse of Chucky" is definitely worth a watch.**.
Reviews for "A Fresh Take on a Horror Classic: Curse of Chucky Analysis"
- John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "See curse of Chucky". The movie lacked the suspense and thrills that made the original Chucky films so great. The plot felt forced and predictable, and the acting was subpar. Overall, it just didn't live up to my expectations and I found it to be quite boring.
- Sarah - 1 star - "See curse of Chucky" is hands down the worst Chucky movie I've seen. The storyline was unnecessarily convoluted and the dialogue was laughably bad. The attempt at adding a psychological element to the film fell flat, and it felt more like a cheap horror flick rather than a chilling supernatural thriller. I regret wasting my time on this movie.
- David - 2 stars - I love the Chucky franchise, but "See curse of Chucky" left me disappointed. The filmmakers tried to bring back the nostalgia of the original films, but failed to capture the essence of what made them so memorable. The kills were lackluster and the CGI was noticeably cheap. It's a forgettable addition to the Chucky series and I wouldn't recommend it to fans or newcomers alike.
