It is a bold move to take a character which has been so over-exposed that it is no longer scary and rather than reboot and start again, change the tone of the film entirely and rebuild, keeping what has gone … Continue reading Curse of Chucky (2013) Review
By the time that Seed of Chucky, the fifth entry in the Child’s Play series, arrives the franchise has lost all sense of what it actually was. This is a series that has decided to go full comedy, using black humour … Continue reading Seed of Chucky (2004) Review
