I had fond memories of this. Or at least I thought I had. Seems I only saw the first twenty minutes or even maybe only the trailer. Jennifer Tilly is great but she is only in this at the start and later is just the voice of the doll. Indeed for most of this film we get rather stiff performances from the humans and animated ones from a pair of dolls. Predictable, unfunny and loud, this would be just the thing for under fifteens but in UK has a 15 certificate so thats a bummer. I have seen rave reviews for this but then maybe those folk only saw the trailer. This is no thriller, nor a horror, simply a rather poor comedy. There is blood and violence but do dolls count?

Fan love it best in the series funny as hell chucky best rise of nice doll brutal horror jennifer tilly cool in here.

Charles Lee Ray is back because his girlfriend Tiffany revived him, once again in the form of Chuck. Shortly after the couple's reunion, Chucky kills her and brings her back in the form of a girl's bridal doll. The two then embark on a killing spree en route to dig up Ray's corpse, which was buried with a Satanic voodoo charm capable of bringing back the dead......I'm assuming that this was only made because of Scream making horror movies cool again, and also because of the success of Halloween H2O. The Child's Play franchise wasn't the best trilogy in the world, but Chucky was so iconic, it was inevitable that he would 'come out to play' once again, because like all cinematic ghouls, you just can't keep a good villain down.And like Part's two and three, it's all played for laughs, and if your looking for something scary, look elsewhere, because this, like Scream is all about referencing different horror films, and seeing how far they can push the gore factor.The concept of Chucky finally getting a 'mate' is a foolproof concept, plus, the follow on almost writes itself because of the films plot.So the film's narrative is basically a road trip, the dolls kidnap a teen couple, so they can take them to the site of the resurrection, and along the way, carnage ensues Mickey and Mallory style.The horror references can often be quite subtle, and in some instances, literally in your face, but it's fun to spot them.When the writers realise that the concept wears thin after the middle of the second act, their escape clause is to have the dolls swear a lot and and argue, and there is one particular scene that rivals Team America for sheer 'was there any need for that?' audacity of the narrative.Unfortunalty, it's not as clever as what it thinks it is, and runs out of steam during the third act, because you can only find a profane doll hilarious for so long.So all in all, it's perfectly fine, but should have been so much more.And a few scares wouldn't have gone a miss...

Bride of Chucky (1998): Dir: Ronny Yu / Cast: Jennifer Tilly, Nick Stabile, Katherine Heigl, John Ritter / Voice: Brad Dourif: A strange and sick little horror. Possessed doll Chucky finally lands a bride who happens to be a witch. Viewers are subject to an assault of perversion including a love scene between both dolls. We witness the birth of baby Chucky, as if the sex scene wasn't enough. Directed by Ronny Yu with fine production effects. This is at least an improvement over his last effort, Warriors of Virtue. Jennifer Tilly is ideal for the role of Tiffany who uses voodoo to resurrect Chucky. Their warped relationship bares reference to Bonnie and Clyde and Natural Born Killers until betrayal and carnage set in. They hitchhike with an eloping couple who are blamed for a murder spree. Nick Stabile and Katherine Heigl play the couple who are on the run but get caught up in a string of murders they didn't commit. John Ritter appears as Heigl's tyrant uncle and the role is something different for him but more would have been great as oppose to a murder that occurs way too early. Brad Dourif provides the snarl of Chucky. Pointless puke fest where viewers cheered when a truck mashes some poor dote into the pavement. The honeymoon murders are also unnecessary. This is one wedding celebration that gushes in its own explicit mess. Score: 4 ½ / 10
