I absolutely have to comment on the first official stills from Curse of Chucky. It is the fifth Child's Play sequel and is coming direct-to-video in September. I'm still looking forward to a possible remake from original creator Don Mancini, however, some of the stuff I've been reading about Curse of Chucky have made me very happy and quite intrigued. Well, the plot sounds way off from the Chucky we know and love - how he's "finishing something he started 20 years ago" or some crap - so hopefully they've figured out a way to make it work for the character and the series. Anyways, I'm mostly excited about Chucky's look:
OMG, FUCKING YES. They have FINALLY gotten rid of those god-awful, ridiculous scars and brought back the Chucky that used to give me endless nightmares as a child. He's a bit updated, and more shiny and new, but still looks like the classic that he is. I've also heard that they've supposedly taken this film back to the series true horror roots and actually made it scary and less funny. I sincerely hope that's true because with Chucky looking the way he is again, I see myself possibly having some new nightmares about him.
I kinda preferred the scared version of Chucky. Still from what I can gather this one supposedly is set straight after part 3, so looks like no Tily either, but would be good to see the series get back to its darker roots especially considering how clumsy Bride and Seed were.
ReplyDeleteScarred Chucky is more fun but I soooo like the first three films way more than the last two because they were scary with only subtle touches of humor. Bride is a good time because of Tilly but Seed just pissed me off so I'm glad that this one won't have anything to do with either!
DeleteHOLY SHIT! LOOKIT THAT! CLASSIC CHUCKY'S BACK! 8DDD
ReplyDeleteI totally share your caps lock enthusiasm! It fucking rules, and I can't wait to see this movie now!
DeleteI was doing a google search of Female Horror Blogs and your blog was on the top of the list and it was about this post. I went, "Wahoo! I know her! Wahoo! That's my name! Ahhhhhhhh!!!" Don't worry, I covered the pictures with my hands so I wouldn't see them. ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha, good! I remembered my promise to warn you of Chucky pictures. So I take it you're probably not going to be seeing this new movie?
DeleteDude, my name really is the first one that comes up when you google that - kick ass!
You nailed it, Michele. Fuck the oh-so-funny scar-Chucky - finally some good ol' creepy child's play :)
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, this is a fantastic blog, and I just followed you.
ReplyDeleteSecond of all, I couldn't agree more. I thought I was the only one who wanted serious Chucky back, and now we're crawling up out of the woodwork. I think this is the right step in the right direction.

Yes, your blog was on the top of the list of the google search. I was pretty excited for you when I saw it. You're right, I won't be seeing this movie unless someone drags me to it kicking and screaming. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for the new Chucky flick. I never did mind Chuck with scars, in fact I never did mind the last two movies. I think why I liked them was because of Chucky's voice and that they were kinda fun to watch. But I never lumped them together with the original three. I always pretended that they weren't even connected. I'm glad to see Chucky return to his scary roots. - Cory
