Review:
After viewing the Curse of Chucky (look for my review on Wednesday) last week, I had to drag out the Chucky: The Killer DVD Collection featuring Child's Play 2, Child's Play 3, Bride of Chucky and Seed of Chucky on two double-sided discs. Yes, I'm well aware the original movie is missing from the collection, but it was released by MGM/UA, who still held the rights when the collection came out in 2006.
When United Artists were brought by Australian investors, the company decided they were no longer making horror movies. Therefore, the creator Don Mancini produced the sequel independently with Universal Studios distributing it to theaters. Child's Play 2 was released in 1990 with Alex Vincent returning as Andy and Brad Dourif voicing Chucky. Two years after the original, Andy's mother has been committed to a mental hospital, forcing him into the foster care system. His new family is the Simpsons and his new foster-sister is Kyle. While exploring his new room, he finds a Good Guy doll. First, he was startled, but he is trying to get on his life and decides to play with the doll. It doesn't take long for Andy to realize the doll is Chucky!
