I'm a big fan of the _Chucky_ franchise. Throughout all of its ups and downs, Don Mancini and the gang have never failed to bring forward a watchable movie. Even the most recent entry, _Cult of Chucky_ (which was kind of a fuck-up) provided me great enjoyment as a series-long fan. But no subsequent movie has ever matched the original for me.

_**May 4, 2025**_ It's a good movie and a great franchise starter. It's creative, funny, scary and really well acted. This is one of my most rewatched films because it's such an easy watch. It's iconic for every deserving reason and it never gets old, the only reason it doesn't have a full score is due to me wanting more Chucky than this one has. **9.5/10**
