Gentle Glen (Billy Boyd) is a ventriloquist's dummy, the offspring of evil doll Chucky (Brad Dourif) and his doll bride (Jennifer Tilly), both of whom are now deceased. When the orphaned Glen hears that a film is being made about his parents, he goes to Hollywood and resurrects them in an attempt to get to know them better. He is horrified when Chucky and his lover embark on a new killing spree, and Chucky is equally horrified that his son has no taste for evil.

Critics Consensus

Give Seed of Chucky credit for embracing the increasing absurdity of the franchise -- even if the end results really aren't all that funny or entertaining.

Calling Seed of Chucky silly is an understatement. However, it's also one of the most radical studio films of the aughts: a distillation of Camp; a piece about performance; and, with both, a self-aware tale of gender.

3/5

Installment No. 5 in the once-moribund Child's Play franchise isn't quite the roller coaster from hell that the series' last outing was, but it's surely the most engaging, and, dare I say, emotionally honest.

By far, the most shocking carnage is Tilly carving up her persona. What a doll.

This should have never been made. Jennifer Tilly was wasted. I'm not sure why Redman was there...It's a franchise killer.

This is such an insane direction for the franchise that basically kills it. "Seed of Chucky" is one of the worst horror films I've ever seen and the fact that the creator wrote and directed this is pretty depressing. They destroyed their own franchise!

3.5/5

Mancini took a big swing by going full comedy, playing into the absurdity of killer dolls, while touching on poignant topics like gender identity, addiction, and acceptance.

Honestly couldn't tell you who this was made for. Goes against the lore of everything that came before. It's just kind of weird, all of the place and Glen/Glinda was a terrible addition.

The kills are great and gnarly, but I always hated how they kill off Redman. The meta comedy doesn't work for me here like Scream does. Glen / Glenda ... just plain weird. 4/10
