Doll Parts: Ranking The Chucky Movies
And now Chucky comes to a close. Hopefully Curse does well and we may get to revisit everyone's favorite little maniacal doll. Its not the greatest series, but it does sport more entertaining entries than it does non-entertaining entries. Chucky, the killer doll definitely is in the pantheon of horror icons, but I think he's slid down some notches since the 90s. Whereas at one time he may have brushed with the A-grade slashers, time has more rightfully set Chucky's place as a B or C level horror villain. Not a bad thing, but a lot of his movies don't hold up and he's not in demand like a Jason or Michael.

After 7 years, Chucky was revived. And a breath of fresh life put into him. I'll start off by saying this...Bride of Chucky is my favorite Katherine Heigl film. Director Ronny Yu came in and "got it" with where to take everyone's favorite serial killer doll. This film fully realizes what this series is and has become and its not gonna bullshit you into "trying to take it seriously" anymore. After 3 films, that luster had worn off. And by the last entry it was just kind of lame and boring. Bride of Chucky tosses attempts at suspense out the window and full embraces campy, comedy and over the top kills. And I'm fully willing to jump on board.
