DOES CULT OF CHUCKY ALLOW THE KILLERS TO GO WILD?
This instalment of violent Chucky fun is wildly… cheesy. It’s best for older teens due to bloody horror violence, but it’s usually an uninteresting supernatural horror movie with dumb ideas.
Storyline
Killer doll Chucky returns to terrorise his human victim, Nica. Meanwhile, he has some scores to settle with his old enemies, with the help of his former wife.

Aussie boy's thoughts
Cult of Chucky’s blood and guts might appeal to someone who’s looking for a mindlessly foolish slasher movie. It was completely and utterly obvious that the seventh instalment to the Chucky franchise was going to be a load of dreary ‘entertainment’, but wow, it’s main theme is a total flaw.
The most previous Chucky movie before this one, Curse of Chucky, was at least fairly entertaining and seemed to ditch the crass comedy genre. Although Cult of Chucky doesn’t approach the comedic aspect again, it’s a pretty flat execution with a bland plot. The first half of the film fetched the classic friendly-doll-goes-psycho theme, but unfolds in an ignorant manner.
Again, don’t expect decent characters or award-worthy performances, because the complete opposite is portrayed here. What you can surely expect, especially if you’ve loved all of Chucky’s tales, is a familiar blend of previous silliness and the good old psychological aspect. It’s not an entire fail. The story still had the chance to at least avoid an unexciting closing.
