My First Review Post! Curse Of Chucky Review. (No Spoilers.)

Hello, Everybody! This Is Octavio Martinez Jr. A.K.A "The Movie Vato" And What Would Be A Great Movie To Watch During This Year's Halloween Season? I'm Glad You Ask! Cause I Just Finish Watching Don Mancini's Latest Installment Of The "Child's Play" Franchise... "Curse Of Chucky".

The Story Is About A Young Woman Who Receives A Mysterious Package Around The Same Time Of Her Mother's Untimely Death. Her Family Ends Up Staying With Her After Her Mother's Funeral, Little Did They Know That The Mysterious Package Contains A Doll That Contains Soul Of A Serial Killer By The Name Of Charles Lee Ray A.K.A Chucky, And Chucky Brings Out Havoc To This Little Family.

Brad Dourif Reprises His Role As Famous Killer Doll Chucky, And Yet... He Never Disappoints Me With That Voice. Fiona Dourif (Brad Dourif's Real-Life Daughter) Plays Nica, A Young Woman Who Is Paraplegic Who Recently Lost Her Mother And Receives Chucky As A "Gift". The Minor Characters In This Movie Contains Nica's Mother Played By Chantal Quesnelle And Nica's Family Played By Danielle Bisutti, Maitland McConnell, Brennan Elliott, & Summer H. Howell Who Made Her First Major Movie Debut In This Movie. The Cast Is Really Small, But The Violence And Gore Makes Up For It.
You Think This Would Be A Cute Picture Of A Innocent Little Girl And Her Little Doll, Right? Think Again! 


The Effects On This Movie Were Are Still The Same As It Was 25 Years Ago: Brilliant Puppeteers, Robotic Animatronics, And Little Person Dressing Up As Chucky For Certain Movement Of The Character. The Newest Thing They Bring In This Movie Is Making Chucky Part Of The CGI World. In Some Ways, It's Good... But You Can Tell In Which Scenes Where The CGI Chucky Has Been Put In The Scene, And It Is Kind Of A Downside To The Movie, But I Really Don't Blame Them For Trying. The Good Thing About The CGI In This Movie Is The Facial Expressions They Use For Chucky When He Is In His Doll Mode, Sometimes, You Will See The Human Side Of Chucky And It Does Bring The Voodoo Magic Come To Life A Little Bit.

Chucky's Physical Appearance Has Always Improved Throughout The Years, And In This Movie Chucky Comes Back With A Brand New Face, A New Set Of Clothes, But, The Same Old Attitude. When Chucky Is In His "Good Guy" Mode, He Mostly Looks Like A "My Buddy" Doll, And This Face Look Like It Was Made Out Of Certain Latex That Was Near Human-Like In The Movie, Which Makes The Doll A Big Improvement Since The First "Child's Play" And "The Bride Of Chucky", If You Watch The First Four Movies The Good Guy Doll Look Too Much Like A Robot More, Than A Actual Doll. But If You Look At "The Seed Of Chucky", He Was Supposed To Look Like A Doll, End Up Being A Mechanical Puppet (Which He Really Was.) But, In The End... I Do Love The Fact That They Made Him Into A DOLL Doll, And Not A Robot Doll.







The Evolution Of Chucky's Appearance Keeps Getting Better And A Little Bit Scary As Well. Let's Be Honest, Who The Hell Wants To Wake Up Next To This Freakin' Doll?!



The Story In This Movie Will Confuse You Just A Little Bit In The Beginning Cause It Does Leave You Questions On Why Does Chucky Shipped Himself To A Family That We Never Heard Of? Is Family Somehow Related To Him In Someways? Or A Family Member That Was Apart Of The Child's Play Universe In The Past? Well, After Watching The Second Half Of The Movie, It Does Explain A Lot About Chucky's Character, And It Reveals More On What He Made Him A Vicious Killer. But, The Story Also Revolves Around The Family As Well! I Don't Want To Reveal Anything That Will Spoil Anything, But All I Can Say Is... Holy Crap! And Yes, They Mention Andy Barclay Like Every "Child's Play" Movie. (Except "Seed Of Chucky"... That's Why It Sucked.) And Chucky Does Do His Signature The Voodoo Chant.

Don Mancini Wanted To Make "Curse Of Chucky" As Reboot Of The "Child's Play" Franchise, In Some Ways, He Did Reboot The Series, But He Also Made This Movie To Celebrate The 25th Anniversary Of The Original "Child's Play" Movie, He Thought It Would Be Good To Bring Back Chucky As A Lone Killer And Not As A Family Man. This Movie Happen To Be Mancini's First Movie That He Made His Debut As A Director In The Horror Genre. Universal Studios Gave Mancini 30 Days To Complete The Whole Movie, It Would Take 50 To 60 Days To Complete The Whole Production Of A Feature Flim, But Mancini Wanted To Make And Release This Movie On The Same Year. They Started Production In Early May Of 2013 And Ended Production On June 2013. That Explains Why "Curse Of Chucky" Went Straight-To-Video, And Not To The Theaters. This Film Was Made Digitally, Not Film Reel. Which Is Kinda Of Cool.

"Curse Of Chucky" Has Two Different Versions: Rated R, And The Unrated Version. I Would Suggested To Watch The Unrated Version Cause It Shows More Gore In There, And... I Know I Didn't Want To Spoil Anything, But... When The Movie Ends Stay After The Credits, Cause There Is A Cliffhanger At The End Of The Movie. "Child's Play 7" Maybe?


In Closing, "Curse Of Chucky" Was A Good Movie That Went Straight-To-Video. It Is Very Rare That You Have A Good S.T.V. Movie Nowadays, Cause Movie Studios Just Make Sequels To Make Another Buck, And Of Course... Sequels Will Not Have Main Actors And The Main Characters, It Would Deal With Unknown Characters That Might Be Related To One Of The Main Characters, Or It Deals With A Side Character That Deal With The First Movie. But Not "Curse Of Chucky"... The Main Character Returns, And The Actor Reprises His Role That Made Him A Horror Movie Icon! And This Film Does Not Bring A Cheesy Horror Movie That You Would Normally See Like The Last Two "Child's Play" Movies. This Was A Good Old-Fashioned Dark And Creepy Horror Movie! And I Think That You Movie Goers With Not Be Upset Of This Latest Installment This Horror Classic!

My Rating For The This Movie: "Seed Of Chucky" Being The Lowest & "Child's Play" Being The Highest... I Give It A "Child Play 2" Rating.



Yeah, Curse Of Chucky Was Child's Play 2 Good! Not Too Bad And Not Too Good.
 I'm The Movie Vato, And I Hope That You Will Get A Chance To See This Movie, Before The End Of This Year's Halloween. Stay Tuned For My Latest Blogs That Will Deal With Horror Movies This Month! Adios, Movie Buffs!
