OK, OK. There's got to be something wrong with me when I'm going to watch a film about a couple of runaway talking dolls. But I tell you now - I loved every minute of it!
With no big name actors and no amazing special effects, the main feature providing the atmosphere was, of course, the music. It was a goth's musical heaven - Sepultura and Coal Chamber both featuring on the soundtrack, along with Rob Zombie and others. The key to this film was not to take it too seriously, because it certainly doesn't take itself seriously!
The storyline is thus: Some mad woman trying to bring chucky back to life succeeds in doing so. However, he's playful and she puts him in a play pen that he can't escape from to calm down. Problem - he doesn't wanna calm down. Chucky then escapes from the pen and kills her, bringing her back to life as a doll! They then kill anyone and everyone in sight and escape in the back of a van with some runaway kids.
Most stunning effect in the film is when the kids' gay friend gets run down by a juganaught, but instead of being mowed down normally, he simply explodes! Best one-liner: (We see through the curtains chucky lying on top of his bride) Her - "Stop - have you got a rubber?", Him - "Baby, I'm all rubber"
I won't spoil it for you by telling you any more, but just remember this: Even if you can't stand it - DO NOT under any circumstances walk away before the end. The last 30 seconds are undeniably the funniest!
