Synopsis: Everyone's favorite plastic slasher doll, Chucky (voiced by Brad Dourif), returns for a fifth installment of this popular horror series. Apparently Chucky and his equally murderous bride, Tiffany... Everyone's favorite plastic slasher doll, Chucky (voiced by Brad Dourif), returns for a fifth installment of this popular horror series. Apparently Chucky and his equally murderous bride, Tiffany (voiced by Jennifer Tilly), had a child, which has grown up in a cage as part of a heavy-metal ventriloquist act in England. Eventually it (one never learns its exact gender) escapes to Los Angeles to revive mom and pop, whose doll corpses are being used for a movie based on their previous killing spree. Jennifer Tilly shows up as herself, and she's great--hamming it up as a floozy actress so desperate for the part in rapper Redman's latest film that she lures him home for a casting couch tryst, with hilarious (and fatal) results. Meanwhile, the child of Chucky is horrified by the violent murders its parents are so fond of committing and, with a little help from a 12-step book, tries to help them kick the homicide habit. Of course it's hard when there are so many deserving targets around, including John Waters as a scuzzy paparazzi. In sum, this is one crazy sequel; it's got a refreshing lack of morals, a light heart, and a clever script with a lot of great insider jokes for buffs. The gore is extreme though, including eviscerations, beheadings, melting flesh, and other raunchy business that makes its R rating well-earned (no true Chucky fan would have it any other way, of course). Rappers Eminem and Big Pun contributed tracks to the score. [More]

The raunchier and more vulgar it is, the better. And for the most part, the approach succeeds.

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

Recommended for the toothsome Jennifer Tilly, the manic Billy Boyd, some inventive deaths, some inspired gore, and one frankly hilarious scene involving Tilly and a decapitated corpse.

With Seed of Chucky, director Mancini distances himself from the previous Chucky films and admits his true love for camp.

The film mostly shoots blanks; it's less than the sum of its in-jokes.

"Seed of Chucky" plants more laughs than terror in its audience.

There is not a single scary moment in all of Seed of Chucky, so its laughs are welcome, though most of the humor falls flat.

Let's hope no other seeds of Chucky are planted aor planned.

What are the parallels between slasher films like this and the porn flicks I watch for a living? Glad you asked.

In the end it's simply another Chucky movie -- whether that's a recommendation or a warning is entirely up to you.

Career lows don't get much lower than Jennifer Tilly's in Seed of Chucky.

Were there an award for most bizarre and dispiriting comedy-horror hybrid featuring killer dolls, the latest installment in the Child's Play series would have it locked up.

Little tip for Don Mancini, creator of Chucky the killer doll and writer-director of Seed of Chucky: Don't make jokes about Ed Wood -- the 'worst director in the history of Hollywood' -- if you can't do better.

A tip of the hat to Ed Wood's 1953 Glen or Glenda, which is a masterpiece in comparison to this cheesy dreck.

A horror movie franchise that has sunk to the lower depths of self-parody.

Seed of Chucky is actually two movies, one wretched, the other funny.

Horror fans will be appalled by the frivolity of the beheadings, amputations and blunt-force trauma.
