We have reached the halfway point in the Chucky collection and hopefully this is the nadir.Poor Andy Barclay (Justin Whalin). That possessed doll ruined his life, stuck him in foster care, and has now, at sixteen-years-old, landed him in military academy. But things are looking up. Sure, his commanding officer, Shelton (Travis Fine), is a total dick but there is a hottie named De Silva (Perrey Reeves) who seems kind of interested. Then Andy spies a familiar face and it all starts to come apart. Chucky (Brad Dourif) has mailed himself to the academy as a surprise to Andy but is found by a little boy named Tyler (Jeremy Sylvers). Realizing that since he has a new body, he has another chance at soul-swapping, Chucky tells Tyler his secret. Andy is not about to let the evil doll possess some other poor kid and so the race for Tyler's soul begins.
This one took a lot longer to get to the action. They spent a lot of time setting up the Full Metal Jacket-ish academy, probably for character building, but the only character I wanted to see was the one trapped inside a doll. Once Chucky shows up, everything is great. So far, this is my least favorite of the series.
