I've spent the last two weekends catching my friend Bethany up on all the Child's Play movies culminating in this, the last of the OG series. (I have not watched the Mark Hamill-led remake yet, but I will.) I have previously reviewed movies 1-6 so I'm not going to bore you guys with recaps. You'll probably want to at least skim Curse of Chucky, however, if you haven't seen it recently because #7 picks up very closely from it.Nica (Fiona Dourif) has spent the last four years in a mental institution for the criminally insane after the violent murders of her whole family. She is finally transferred to a medium-security facility after admitting that it was her, not a killer doll named Chucky (Brad Dourif), that killed everyone. But when the murders start up again, Nica has to find a way to protect the patients and staff from an entity they all think is in her mind.
This was a decent premise bolstered by a fresh turn of having multiple possessed dolls but which unfortunately squanders the return of original tormentee, Andy Barclay (Alex Vincent) by not being able to split the time between him and Nica effectively. It really could have benefited from having an extra half hour for more character development. It's currently streaming on Netflix.
