Default The Curse Of Chucky (2013)

The Curse Of Chucky



"Chucky’s back and better than ever" -
Brad Miska, Bloody-Disgusting.com

On DVD & Blu-Ray Monday 21st Oct. 2013


Terror returns in a deceptively tiny package when Curse of Chucky, the newest installment of the chilling Child’s Play franchise, comes exclusively to Blu-Ray™ and DVD on 21 October, 2013, from Universal Pictures (UK) and Universal 1440 Entertainment, a production entity of Universal Studios Home Entertainment.

Receiving its European Premiere at Film4 FrightFest at 21.00 on 22 August 2013, Curse of Chucky reunites franchise creators Don Mancini and David Kirschner as Chucky returns to horrify viewers in an all-new, unrated chapter of the blood-soaked suspense saga that James Oster of ArrowInTheHead.com gleefully calls “Delightfully deadly.”

“It has been a quarter of a century since fans were first petrified by Toyland’s most lethal serial killer in Child’s Play” said Glenn Ross, General Manager and Executive Vice President, Universal 1440 Entertainment. “Now, twenty-five years later, the deadly legacy continues as Chucky resumes his disturbing reign of terror, delivering more of the blood-curdling scares and bone-chilling twists that have cemented his place as one of the world’s most legendary horror film icons.”

Written and directed by Mancini, Curse of Chucky finds a family imperiled by the murderous doll that launched a generation’s nightmares – determined to finish a job that was started long ago. The film stars Fiona Dourif (The Master, “True Blood”), A Martinez (“Longmire,” “General Hospital”), Danielle Bisutti (Get Smart, “CSI: Miami”) and Brennan Elliott (“Flight 93,” Double Jeopardy), with Brad Dourif (The Lord of the Rings) once again providing the voice of Chucky, the homicidal plaything inhabited by the spirit of notorious serial killer Charles Lee Ray.

SYNOPSIS

Nica (Fiona Dourif) is grieving over the gruesome suicide of her mother when her domineering older sister Barb (Danielle Bisutti) arrives with her young family in tow to help settle their mother’s affairs. As the sisters butt heads over Nica’s plans for the future, Barb’s young daughter comforts herself with a grinning, red-haired talking doll named Chucky (Brad Dourif) that recently arrived mysteriously in the mail.

But as a string of brutal murders begins to terrorize the household, Nica suspects the doll may hold the key to the bloodshed. What she doesn’t know is that Chucky has a personal score to settle. He’s determined to finish a job he started more than 20 years earlier, and this time he’s going to see it through to the bloody and shocking end.

Fear not SCM, this film definitely goes back to the horror roots and is very similar in tone to the first. It's even a little bit gothic too!

I don't mind horrors that are bad cheesy and corny and full of awful jokes, if they started off that way, but if the film started of as a genuine horror then go down that route is when it annoys me . The first three are quite dated now but they where good for their time.

i was pleasantly surprised wasn't expecting much but really enjoyed it, unlike the later films this is back to its horror roots, very dark and suspenseful, with some good kills/gore and a dark sense of humor. also its worth watching till the end of the credits.

Yup I enjoyed this return back to darker Chucky - it was great watching it with an audience at FrightFest but am looking forward to playing it at home now it's getting dark, cold and rain-lashed out there!

Surprisingly gothic entry to the series - last random thought!

It was ok,i liked it better than 2 or 3(I hate),but i do prefer funny chucky,seed of chucky is still my favorite one of the series.Seed is more of a trash movie than horror and thats a good thing as a little ginger doll is the least scary thing in the world.
