Gentle Glen (Billy Boyd) is a ventriloquist's dummy, the offspring of evil doll Chucky (Brad Dourif) and his doll bride (Jennifer Tilly), both of whom are now deceased. When the orphaned Glen hears that a film is being made about his parents, he goes to Hollywood and resurrects them in an attempt to get to know them better. He is horrified when Chucky and his lover embark on a new killing spree, and Chucky is equally horrified that his son has no taste for evil.

Critics Consensus

Give Seed of Chucky credit for embracing the increasing absurdity of the franchise -- even if the end results really aren't all that funny or entertaining.

Calling Seed of Chucky silly is an understatement. However, it's also one of the most radical studio films of the aughts: a distillation of Camp; a piece about performance; and, with both, a self-aware tale of gender.

3/5

Installment No. 5 in the once-moribund Child's Play franchise isn't quite the roller coaster from hell that the series' last outing was, but it's surely the most engaging, and, dare I say, emotionally honest.

By far, the most shocking carnage is Tilly carving up her persona. What a doll.

This should have never been made. Jennifer Tilly was wasted. I'm not sure why Redman was there...It's a franchise killer.

This is such an insane direction for the franchise that basically kills it. "Seed of Chucky" is one of the worst horror films I've ever seen and the fact that the creator wrote and directed this is pretty depressing. They destroyed their own franchise!

Mancini took a big swing by going full comedy, playing into the absurdity of killer dolls, while touching on poignant topics like gender identity, addiction, and acceptance.

I will never understand they hate for this movie. This might genuinely be my favorite. Chucky movie seen if Chucky has laugh out loud humor for me and while not even remotely scary at times it's still managed to give me that vibe that these are still killer dolls. But yet they said, fuck it, let's make them humorous with jennifer tilly being the pinnacle, more than chucky himself and then there's red man, I have no clue why he's here.But yet that's cool

I didn’t like the Hollywood/making a fake movie setting. It’s not as entertaining as Bride of Chucky (1998). I actually really like the character of Glen. The characters of Chucky and Tiffany are really entertaining again. The casting is not as good, Hannah Spearritt cannot act is the worst but Redman was also kinda annoying. At least we have fun kills. For all that happens it is a bit slow and sometimes repetitive. I just didn’t engage with Seed because I didn’t like the setting or the concept. It’s the weakest so far but averagely entertaining nonetheless.

OK OK OK I know most people think seed of Chucky is just ok or just bad but I’m a wired person and this is a wierd movie do that’s why I like it for its entertainment value or originality, plot, execution, and visuals and just a little bit of characters like ability from only certain characters like Chucky, Tiffany and Glenn/Glenda every other character is forgettable. I will say that, and there are a few scenes where the Huber goes too far, but overall, I didn’t laugh a lot and I will admit it’s not as well-made as bride so… 8.8/10

A major, if some-what creative, miscalculation.
