The best of the self-aware slasher satires of the late 1990s.

Grisly, tongue-in-cheek sequel isn't for kids.

...feels more like a parody of these movies than a natural extension of the world established in part one.

A hilariously campy and surprisingly diverting horror sequel that's always smartly aware of its own ridiculousness.

Redundant and more than a little wearisome.

at least everyone involved seems to have approached the project with tongues firmly in cheek, and for that reason alone, the movie is a whole lot better than it has any right to be.

Any film where John Ritter dies TWICE can't be all bad.

Chucky is back with a better than usual vehicle, thanks to upping the humor -- most of which works.

Audience Reviews for Bride of Chucky

This movie brings humor to the Child's Play series, as well as a love interest for its villain. I really enjoyed this movie, Jennifer Tilly is great, she really brings energy to this film. If you liked the first three films of this series, don't miss this one.

Besides taking the series in a far more comedic direction, it's takes it in a new and kinda clever direction in general. I liked that it plays with Chucky's history and character, and that he wasn't just trying to go after Andy again. However, I think it would have been cool (and still would be cool) if they did have

    1. Jesse: They think we're mass murderers!
