The Curse of Chucky is a 2013 horror film that serves as the sixth installment in the popular Child's Play franchise. Directed by Don Mancini, the movie takes a more serious and darker approach compared to the campy tone of its immediate predecessor, Seed of Chucky. The story revolves around Nica Pierce, a paraplegic woman who receives a mysterious package containing a doll named Chucky. Little does she know that this seemingly innocent toy harbors the soul of a notorious serial killer. As Chucky wreaks havoc on Nica's family, she must uncover the truth behind the curse of Chucky in order to survive. One of the standout aspects of The Curse of Chucky is its return to the franchise's horror roots.
Which the adults can’t see because … of course they can’t. Adults are boring. Pfft. While Iffen is adorable, the mystery wasn’t a huge selling point for me, and it was resolved a little easily. The charm was really in watching the kids work together to solve the problem.
It comes up almost immediately at the start of the book, though it s easily mistaken, and I enjoyed how it unfolded little by little but was never quite solid and defined. I have a massive, messed up family and I rue the day Minion inevitably has to do a family tree and explain why she has nine grandparents and her tree looks more like a shrub.
One of the standout aspects of The Curse of Chucky is its return to the franchise's horror roots. The film embraces a more suspenseful and atmospheric tone, relying less on comedic elements that were prominent in previous entries. This shift in direction allows for a refreshing revival of the horror elements that made the original Child's Play so iconic.

I actually got an eARC of this from NetGalley, and then, lo and behold, guess what showed up in Minion’s OwlCrate Junior! Minion thinks it looks cute (then again, there’s a giant cat-thing on the cover, so obviously it was going to win her over). And after reading it? I can 100% confirm I’ll be encouraging her to pick it up.
The Time of Green Magic is a gorgeous, heartwarming book about a blended family trying to learn what exactly it means to be “family,” in a new house that has its own quiet magic.
I had so many warm, fuzzy feels during this book, guys. I’m not usually one for character-driven books, but this was a quick afternoon read, and it’s just positive, light, and full of good vibes. Not going to say it’s all bright and cheery, because it’s not. These kids have been through a lot, and adjusting to their new life is anything but easy, but they just won my heart over and over again until the ending, where, I’m not gonna lie, I definitely teared up, okay? It was just too freaking sweet and perfect.
