SEED OF CHUCKY spills all over this poor reviewer! Ewww!!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with one of the first SEED OF CHUCKY reviews from a test screening in NY. The more I see (check out my description of the SOC footage screened at Comic-Con!) and the more I hear about this film the more I'm convinced I'm gonna flip for it. It seems that the Chucky series has found a nice niche for itself, somehow balancing self-mockery with over-the-top fun storylines. The Glen or Glenda stuff below is brilliant and I can not wait to hear Billy Boyd go nuts with the offspring's voice!
Tonight I saw a test screening of Seed of Chucky in Long Island, NY. The story itself is pretty ho hum. **Spoilers** Billy Boyd's character is a doll named Glen/Glenda who escapes a circus in order to find his/her parents. I say his/her because Chucky and the Bride are not sure the gender of the character since it does not have any privates. He finds Chucky and the Bride on the set of the new Chunky movie and performs this spell on them to bring them back to life. The "parents" kinda ADOPTED our boy/girl. It was obvious the movie was not done and didn't go into detail and had some holes in it. I am not a big fan of the series and don't remember the last all that well but from what I gather, some story line foundation was laid in the previous one that the audience was expected to know I guess (the charm thing and who or what the kid is) The guy who ran it said the movie was not finished and that there will be changes made before the release.
Anyway, Chucky and the bride want to be human once again and try to possess the child of Jennifer Tilly. I will leave it there b/c I don't want to spoil the entire movie but I will say this. Billy Boyd pretty much steals the show. His character is pretty weird although the movie really doesn't go into any detail about his character or anything. hopefully they will get that figured out before the release. Chucky (Brad Dourif) does have some funny one liners and lookout poor miss spears. Tilly is good here showing off major cleavage to rapper Redman, the new director of the Virgin Mary movie. I was surprised at how much I laughed. And it was intentional laughter so did Don Mancini his job in the directing chair. There were some incomplete fx shots that got unintentional laughter but I am sure they will be cleaned up. He does have his work cut out for him to get things patched up before the release but for the most part it was a fun movie. At no point does it take itself seriously and I think the audience benefited from that. I enjoyed it more then I was planning to.

Chucky rapped my childhood, Hulk Hogan should be in the film, "We're friends 'til the end, Brother!" Bruce Campbell should play the villian, Chucky has a beer, and cheats on his bride, Jennifer Tilly is the sexiest beanpole on the planet, This movie needs warewolves, and vampires, Chucky has a bomb in his ribcage, All your brides are belong to Chucky, George Lucas blah blah blah...There, dose that cover the useual AICN cliches?

the first was so scary....shame it's become a parody of itself
by elmstreetkid
i remember the sheer terror of the first film.....a generation of kids locked their toys up for fear they'd try to kill us.... and now its a complete comedy series.
i'lll admit, the flat-out comedy of Bride of Chucky worked better than the lousy part 3, and the generally unscary part 2, but i'd have loved to see this series go back to the feel of Tom Holland's original thriller..... -

Sounds even worse than "Craven's New Nightmare" AND "Scream" com

I'm sure the "Freddy vs Jason"-loving imbeciles will like this one, too.

Chucky has yet to be adapted into a Saturday morning cartoon series or child-friendly line of action figures, as was the fate of the Toxic Avenger!
-
There should be a dead raped deer next to Chucky

They were giving away tickets to this screening when I was seeing The Manchurian Candidate this weekend. I assume this guy saw it at that same theatre The Westbury Raceway Cinema. I passed on this. The movie looks like a can of ass and I had no interested in the "Chucky" series anymore. Then again its not like I ever did in the first place.

Hey, mbaker, quit ripping off my schtick, ya dadgum bandit!

I'M the one who's supposed to do all the AICN Cliches, dammit! LOL! By the way, you forgot a couple..."All you fanboys need to grow up and get a life..."............"LOTR/Matrix/Care Bears trilogies own all your asses.......Fuck greedo shooting first..." I think that about covers it. Hip Hip Hooray for the AICN Talkback cliches!

Holy zodiac killer with a metal rod up his ass sitting in a bar

Though the first Child's Play was kind of scary at the time, the sad truth is I had more nightmares growing up of E.T. than I ever had of Chucky. "PHONE HOME! PHONE HOME!" AHHH! Peace.
-
Brad Dourif in an under appreciated can of da-kickass. I hope LOTR helps get him some bigger roles. Or at least more classic ones. Peace.

You mean like "When I was born I wasn't cool/But then I went to nursery school/The kids thurr tried to pick on me/Til I showed them how to drink their own pee/Peace outside."? Something like that?
-
bit hostile mate, just joinin' in on the fun, but thats cool, lonely pricks like you make George W look good! Beside's sounds like someones a bit homophobic hahah... just cause your fat ass can't pick up doesn't mean you have to resort to that, but hey i'm gettin' the impression that your pillows already got a few bite mark's in it!
-
For your information, i'm not fat, and i'm not lonely!
-
That was weak... is that your comeback? Don't you like people attacking you personally, cause i doubt you would ever do anything like that ever...
-
This movie sounds terrible. Where did Mancini come up with this ridiculous and pathetic story?! Christ! And if there weren't already enough rappers ruining horror movies these days. This movie isn't horror, and I'm removing it from my horror site. This is an out-and-out comedy, and the only semblence of horror will be with any blood that's shed on screen (not to mention the amount of green that's shed at the box office). -NJM

You forgot to mention LOTR and SW.

I don't want to see her cleavage. I want to see her nude. Why oh why doesn't she have the sensibilities of Halle Berry, who knows she's a piss-poor actress, but at least whips out her tits when her popularity starts to wane? Enquiring minds want to know!
