Review:
It’s been twenty-five years since the living doll Chucky first freaked out audiences with the 1988's Child's Play, proving that a killer doll can be big at the box-office. Child's Play 2 & 3 followed in 1990 and 1991. Seven years later, Chucky would return in Bride of Chucky, bring the franchise into the horror-comedy genre. The franchise seemed to be over when the distasteful Seed of Chucky came out in 2004. Nine years later, the killer doll is back in the direct-to-video reboot sequel Curse of Chucky, which is written and directed by the series creator Don Mancin, marking the 25th anniversary of the series. Brad Dourif returns to voice Chucky, and with the help of makeup, lighting, and a black & white flashback, he also returns as Charles Lee Ray. Brad's own daughter, actress Fiona Dourif, stars as Nica.
Four years after the ending of Seed of Chucky, a mysterious package arrives at the house of Sarah and her paraplegic daughter, Nica. The package contained a Good Guy doll, which they both have no clue who could have sent it. An accident occurs and Sarah dies, leaving Nica alone in the big house that is until her older sister Barb arrives with her husband Ian, their daughter Alice and the nanny, Jill. With the help of Father Frank, Barb tries to convince Nica to sell the house, which she refuses to do.
Meanwhile, her young niece has become attached to the talking Good Guy doll that calls itself Chucky, while Nica plays an old home video for Barb, Ian and Jill, where Nica notices a strange man in the background of the video - a man who resembles the serial killer Charles Lee Ray.
When everyone turns in for the night, it is time for Chucky to play! The body count rises as Nica learns a long forgotten family secret - a secret that has brought Chucky into her home to finish a twenty-five-year-old vendetta.
