Killer Blog from CyberSpace: Seed of Chucky

I remember seeing Child's Play back in 1988 and laughing my fool head off at the mere thought of a puppet as a living, breathing brutal killer. I'd cackle out loud with my friends as Chucky would flail his floppy legs around, as his victim tried desperately to shake him off their neck. Sure, that was all fun for one movie, but five movies? With the recent DVD release of Seed of Chucky, it was time I found out.


Apparently before the release of Seed, Chucky (Brad Dourif) died a few more times, got himself a wife, Tiffany (Jennifer Tilly), died again and had a kid, Glen/Glenda (Billy Boyd). So for the past 17 years or so, he's been a pretty busy possessed doll. And I missed all of that?!

We're introduced to Chucky's sex-confused child in the first scenes of the movie, who's been spending time as a circus attraction across the pond in England. While there, he sees a bit on the news about a movie being made about his parents, so off to the States he goes.

A movie being made about his parents? Yes. It seems Chucky and Tiffany's stint as killers has earned them legendary status in the world, so naturally a tell-all movie was bound to happen. A brilliant move: Jennifer Tilly as herself, playing the voice of Tiffany in the movie within a movie.

I quickly learn that Chucky is still trying to make himself a real boy, taking his rotten soul out of the doll and into another human body. They have bodies in mind for Chucky and Tiffany, but not their sometimes son/sometimes daughter Glen/Glenda, the "sometimes" meaning the doll is as anatomically correct below the waist as a Ken doll.

Tiffany decides she wants to become Jennifer Tilly ("she has such a beeeautiful voice"), while Chucky will take any warm male body that comes along. For Glen they decide impregnating Tilly with Chucky's, erm, seed will get them a human child for him to transfer into (I'm saying "Glen" now because it's just easier).

Here's where you'll think I'm joking. We see Tiffany's doll boobs, Chucky masturbates into a cup, they drug Jennifer and transfer the "Seed of Chucky" into Jennifer with a turkey baster. Alright, maybe you won't think I'm joking, because aren't all these movies a bit nuts anyway?

Because Jennifer's pregnancy is a "voodoo pregnancy," she quickly comes to full term and delivers a set of twins. As the three dolls are about to transfer their souls into the tied up Tilly, her chauffeur and the babies, Chucky decides at the last minute he'd be better off as a killer doll than having to drive Jennifer Tilly around for the rest of his life. Tiffany fights, Chucky throws an axe into her, and at that, Glen dismembers Chucky's every limb and head from his torso.

I'll leave the sequel-hinting ending for you to watch for yourself. I actually thought the gore in this movie was sicker than the previous movie I blogged about here, Cabin Fever. We had steaming entrails, beheadings and an acid melted face. What other movie has all that, no less than two voices from the Lord of the Rings movies, and a dismembered meat puppet?

Terror Level [Highest=10]: 5
Death Toll: 6 (8 if you include the dolls)
Quote of the flick: "Hi, my name is Tiffany Ray. Um, you don't know me but, a few years ago I killed your husband, and I am so sorry."
