EXELLENT SEQUEL.......2007-11-03
A new Chucky doll is created, using the mold from the previous doll as a base to create it. Its new creators are insistent that Chucky be covered up to protect their image. Andy Barclay, (Alex Vincent) is now is foster care with the Simpsons, Joanne, (Jenny Agutter) husband Phil, (Geritt Graham) and foster child Kyle. (Christine Elise) As Chucky finds Andy with his new family, Andy begins to form a brother/sister relationship with Kyle while Phil begins to wonder about Andy's sanity. As Chucky follows Andy to school, he kills his teacher and sets up Andy as the culprit. Worried that it is indeed Chucky doing the killing, Andy tries to convince Phil and Joanne that it's not him, but only Kyle believes him. Once they both know for sure, they try to tell their parents, but Chucky has killed them both. As Joanne tries to get Andy away from Chucky, he trails them to the warehouse where he was created for the final showdown.
The Good News: The good thing about this movie is that it did the great plot point of keeping everyone in the loop about Chucky until the final revelation. It is essentially the same thing as before, which adds a lot to the "is Chucky really alive" subplot of the film. This also drives a few key subplots, which add to the suspense of the film. Everyone knows of the fact that Chucky's alive, but since no one in the film knows it's him, his appearances everywhere give a real shock. There are a few good jumps in the film and some real genuine suspense scenes. Chucky stalking the members of the family in the home, and especially the scenes in the basement, are classic stalking scenes in a dark area with lots of spots for the killer to hide in. I love these kinds of scenes, and this one has plenty of them. For all that, the real highlight is the concluding half-hour, which takes place in the warehouse where Chucky was first created. With an action-packed conclusion, more great stalking scenes, a great gory death, tons of jumps, and even a few really great false killer deaths, this is a real highlight and is one of the greatest sequences in horror history. It's a great, long sequence that will clearly entertain any horror fan, as they will be exposed to an extended sequence that contains everything great about the genre. With lots of intriguing ideas and flawless execution, the conclusion of the movie is probably one of the greatest sequences in the series.
The Bad News: Because of the opening of the movie is pretty much a repeat of the opening of the first one, it can be a little repetitive to some. The logic of once again being forced to believe that no one other than Andy knows that Chucky's alive and killing can be a bit much for some people. Other than one really great kill near the end of the movie, there are really no good kill scenes. This series is known for a lot of good kills, and this one only has the one, which is a great kill and looks good, but it is let down because of no other good kill.
The Final Verdict: With a few minor complaints, this is a great entry in the series and isn't all that a bad horror film in general. Fans will no doubt be very pleased and entertained with the film, though others may be a bit put off because it really screws with logic and isn't the all around classic of the original.
Not my favourite.......2007-07-11
Not my favourite of the Chucky movies, but still worth a look if you're a fan of Chucky and the movies he has been in. I didn't really get the storyline to this one. I'm sticking with one and three. This one isn't too bad, though. It's still enjoyable but, as I said, it's not my favourite out of the five Chucky movies.
chuckys back!.......2007-05-27
this is by far the best child's play movie ever!
the story takes place roughly a year after child's play in which chucky continues his chase of Andy.
the story is absolutely brilliant with the dialog still being as funny as in the first film the acting is top notch and Brad Dourif is amazing as chucky.
also the film doesn't go over the top with death scenes
(unlike child's play 3)
altogether it would be important to watch the first film to understand the second film i would recommend this to anyone.
