A worthy entry in the Child's Play series
22 June 2005
A 5th entry in the Child's Play series was much expected after the ending of the 4th ("Bride of Chucky"). Chucky returns at his baddest (voiced again by the terrific Brad Dourif), and the fantastic Tiffany is back too (voiced by the lovely Jennifer Tilly). Obviously, going by the title of this movie, Chucky's "seed" is here also his son/daughter Glen/Glenda. When I learned that this was going to be another horror film which had a horror film within it I was somewhat hesitant, but the film-within-a-film played only a minor part. The puppets were all great, Tiffany in particular, and they certainly made up for the lack of many human characters. Jennifer Tilly is brilliant, playing herself this time (she played the human Tiffany in the 4th). She looks fantastic too. Hannah from S Club does good as Jennifer's personal assistant, Redman is also great, and the guy who plays Jennifer's driver is a bit of a hottie. A lot more comedy has made its way into this film (as opposed to others in the series), which is not a bad thing. Keep watch for plenty of Hollywood in-jokes and other movie references also.
