Does Curse of Chucky hold up?

Let’s find out:

So we start off by meeting Nica Pierce (Fiona Dourif), and…

I’ll admit that, when I heard that Brad Dourif/Chucky’s daughter was the lead for this one, Julie Andrews’ line in The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement about nepotism, the arts and plumbing came to mind, and…

I hope that I did not upset the Disney copyright gods.

But, Fiona Dourif is fantastic in this.

Anyway, we also meet Nica’s mom- Sarah Pierce (Chantal Quesnel). Nica and Sarah receive Chucky (voiced and played by Brad Dourif) and Sarah “kills” herself, and…

Suicide in a horror movie. How convenient.

Anyway, the meat for the slaughter… er… the rest of Nica’s family arrives:

1. Barb Pierce (Nica’s sister) (Danielle Bisutti)

2. Ian Pierce (Nica’s brother-in-law) (Hallmark Channel Darling Brennan Elliott)

3. Alice Pierce (Nica’s niece) (Summer H. Howell)

4. Jill (Alice’s nanny) (Maitland McConnell)

5. Father Frank (A Martinez)

Anyway, Chucky rat poisons Father Frank’s chili, and…

“Waiter, is there rat poison in my soup?”

Human Charles Lee Ray is visible in some of the Pierce family’s old home videos, and…

I’m sure that this is going to end well.

Anyway, we find out that Barb has been running around with Jill. Nica finds out the truth about Chucky. Chucky offs Jill. Barb finds out that Ian knows about Jill. Nica tries to warn Barb about Chucky; but, Barb brushes her off and Chucky offs Barb.

Ian (inexplicably) turns on Nica and Chucky offs him. Chucky and Nica fight and we find out why Chucky is doing this.

Chucky was obsessed with Sarah, he killed her husband, he kidnapped Sarah, Sarah got him in trouble with the cops and he (Chucky) stabbed Sarah while she was pregnant with Nica.

I know that some people have a problem with this flashback; but, I do not have a problem with this flashback. The flashback fits with Chucky’s character, Quesnel is fantastic in this scene, it gives Chucky a reason for hunting the Pierce family and it gives Chucky/Nica history.

Anyway, Nica is blamed for Chucky’s murders and she is sent to a mental hospital. We get a Tiffany!Jennifer Tilly (Jennifer Tilly) cameo. Chucky plays Hide the Soul with Alice.

We then get an Andy Barclay (Alex Vincent) cameo and Andy shoots Chucky.

Curse of Chucky is a good gothic horror movie.
