CHILD'S PLAY 4: BRIDE OF CHUCKY
 |
Okay, so we've all pretty much learned to accept the fact that you don't fuck with the Chuck. But this movie goes one step beyond this lesson and teaches us that there's one more thing you really shouldn't fuck with: a woman scorned! I had initially had my doubts about this movie, for the obvious reasons. I mean, first of all, why haven't they been sued for pretty much stealing the Scream 2 poster. Maybe they did it in a tongue-in-cheek manner, I'm not sure. All I know is that they definitely could have come up with something better, had they tried. Secondly, I think any of us |

were thinking to ourselves how utterly dumb it looked. But then one must ask oneself:
Isn't the idea of a little doll running around killing people even though they've killed
him off how many times now, pretty dumb on it's own. Well, yeah, but that doesn't mean it
wasn't highly entertaining to watch (even the sequels)! But perhaps the idea of not one,
but two dolls running around killing people is a little bit too much for most people to
handle. But without an iota of a lie, this was a really fantastic movie! The plot is something like this: Chucky's old girlfriend, Tiff (Jennifer Tilly), has spent years searching for her main squeeze, Charles Lee Ray, who we all know, is now spiritually embedded into the tiny plastic |

body of little Chucky Good Guy. Problem, right? Even more of a problem considering that they seemed to have finally smoked his ass for good in the last film. But, with a little help from Voodoo, Tiff manages to reconstruct the evil doll and once again breathe life into his "made in Taiwan" parts. Tiff soon realizes that Chucky carries no remorse for the years of heartache he put her through, and laughed in her face when she mentioned that before he disappeared, she had thought he was going to ask her to marry him. So the Chuck, using some mo' of that whack voodoo magick, ices Tiffany and places her spirit inside a tiny plastic replica. Surprise! Another dolly!! Together, Tiff and Chucky go on an all-out hunt for the amulet needed to get them out of their man-made skins and into a pair of brand new bodies. Sounds like a plan... |
| Along the way, Tiff begins to see things in Chucky she had
never noticed before, especially in regards to his feelings about love and relationships.
Although she's just as mean and rotten as he is, but carries with her the remnants of a
"feminine" side as well as somewhat of a maternal instinct. She soon realizes
that to fully succeed in their plan, would mean a lot of other people would have to get
hurt in the mean time. I'm not about to give away all the good stuff, you'll have to rent it for that, but I needed to get a little bit detailed, just to really stress the fact that although the plot sounds really lame, the movie doesn't turn out that way, promise. Actually, it's hands-down the best recent Horror film I've seen since In The Mouth |

of Madness (but that was John Carpenter, the man can do no wrong). This movie was great because it was just as tough and brutal as we've come to expect from Chucky, but this one had a lot more humour in it that I thought really hit the spot. In addition, here we finally have a soundtrack that isn't played all day and all night long on the teenie stations. We're talking some actual metal artists here! You won't even believe it, they actually can still make good Horror movies! If you ever listen to anything in your life, let it be this: you may think you're just in for another load of Trendy Horror bullshit with Bride of Chucky, but trust me, it's an instant classic. |
