The fifth film in Don Mancini's Child's Play series puts more emphasis on garish comedy with a little less of the super-abundant horror of the previous gore-fests. Seed of Chucky is a movie within a movie: first, there is a silly and mildly amusing spoof in which Jennifer Tilly (The Haunted Mansion) near enough plays herself, a desperate actress in Hollywood shooting a lame horror movie, Chucky Goes Psycho, mulling over her stalled career and quite understandably bitching about the success of Julia Roberts.
The second 'plot' sees the devilish Chucky doll (voiced by Brad Dourif) and his bloodthirsty wife, the Tiffany doll (Tilly), being resurrected by their sideshow freak child-spawn, the Glen doll (voiced by Billy Boyd, probably better known as Pippin from Lord of The Rings). Actually, the Glen doll is really a bit of a geezer-bird, a him-she, a man-bird: also known as Glenda when he feels like being a she. Anyway, the not-so good parents set off on a hammed-up Hollywood killing-spree, much to the disgust of Glen(da), with a twisted master plan to impregnate the dolefully oblivious Tilly. Blatantly crude, grisly and depraved, Seed of Chucky has something to offend everybody!
Hopefully Jennifer Tilly gets sent a flood of great meaty comic roles after this ingeniously dumb performance; at least she probably gets more than Julia Roberts as it is already.
