Critics Consensus

The franchise hex of disappointing sequels is broken by going back to basics in this chilling entry, restoring a sense of playfulness to the Chucky saga.

Series woos fans by returning to its straight-horror roots.

2/5

The attempts to tie everything up into a neat bow at the end feel jarring, abrupt, and rushed.

The film itself is a strange and not entirely successful hybrid of continuation and reboot, re-introducing the character to new audiences through a story that nevertheless features multiple throwbacks to the original series of films.

Who would have ever thought that a killer doll would have this many movies? Six movies. It's the Police Academy of horror films...I love that Chucky, man.

3/4

I know it's hard to believe, but this sixth movie in the Child's Play/Chucky slasher series is actually surprisingly well made.

3/4

It's clear immediately that Curse of Chucky marks an effort to return to the more-horrific-than-comedic atmosphere of the series' first installment...

A darker return to the franchise works better than I expected. Fiona Dourif gives Nica a strong sense of vulnerability without turning her into a passive victim, and the isolated-house setting, stormy atmosphere and slower build help Chucky feel sinister again. I still prefer the character when he mixes horror with more black humor, but there are enough nasty little jokes here to keep the film from becoming too solemn. Don Mancini also reconnects the story with earlier mythology instead of treating this as a clean reboot, which adds interest for longtime viewers. The main weakness is pacing: the film spends a long time hiding what the audience already knows, and some supporting characters are much less compelling than Nica. The continuity also requires a few contrivances. Even so, the atmosphere works, the kills are imaginative and the darker approach is far more effective than I feared.

Worth a watch if you got through the trainwrecks of Bride and Seed. This one is better for returning the horror and losing the over the top camp/weirdness, but has its own issues. Wants to get back to the first one, but seems to struggle to shrug the legacy of the series. Ends up not committing one way or the other and the result is muddled. Should have just been a hard reboot and Chucky looks so much worse.

Definitivamente melhor que o anterior, mas por algum motivo este é tão lento que, apesar de ter apenas 97 minutos, pareceu mais longo. Gostei de algumas partes, afinal é basicamente um reboot, só queria que fosse um pouco mais conciso. Provavelmente por isso dei meia estrela a mais. A cena pós-créditos foi bem legal.

This film brings chucky back to his horror routes, the cinematography was amazing and the overall story was astonishing. Other than a few nit picks with the overall look of chucky, I think this film was dam near perfect.
