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.
