As a direct consequence of Curse of Chucky, Nica (Fiona Dourif)
has been institutionalized for the killings that Chucky (voiced by Brad
Dourif) has committed and diagnosed with schizophrenia by Dr. Foley
(Michael Therriault), whose interest in her case isn't entirely selfless.
But he manages to transfer her from a maximum security facility to
something less prohibiting. But everyone in the new facility knows who
Nica is, so her whole story and especially "Chucky" are the
elephants in the room. Things get worse when Dr. Foley brings in Chucky
dolls to really confront Nica with her fears - and everyone else in the
process as well. Of course, these dolls are all harmless, since the real
Chucky (or what's left of him) is with Andy (Alex Vincent), Chucky's main
foil since the original Child's Play - but then, a bit
inexplicably, the Chuckys of the asylum become possessed as well and kill
the inmates in rather grotesque ways, to the point where nobody's sure
anymore that Nica hasn't gone on another killer spree, especially since
she insists Chucky's come back to life, but in not one but three
incarnations. But of course, nobody believes her until waaay too late ... Jennifer
Tilly returns as Tiffany, a series fixture since Bride of Chucky. Cult
of Chucky is already the 7th entry into the Child's Play
series, and hardly surprisingly the slasher series that only lived on the
premise that its killer is actually a cute doll, has run out of ideas and
steam a bit by then (and after almost 30 years) - but that doesn't mean at
all that Cult of Chucky isn't a fun movie as the makers of this
film have done exactly the right thing: Have fun with the material,
amplify the silliness of the concept while making the murders ridiculously
grotesque, and play it for laughs otherwise. The outcome is of course
hardly a genre classic - but 90 rather entertaining minutes with a killer
puppet or three.
