My rating: 7/10
Will I watch it again? Yes.
I REALLY like this franchise! The last two films (4 (Bride) and 5 (Seed)) took a left turn in Albequerque and went from horror to comedy/horror. This one goes back to its roots for a straight up horror movie and it's good. I loved the atmosphere of the house. It's almost entirely set there so the house needs to have some personality and variety. The kills are good but more importantly, Mancini delivers the goods when it comes to making a good horror movie that DOES NOT RELY ON FUCKING JUMP SCARES! There are none. Having Nica (Fiona Dourif, Brad's daughter...neat...and she does a great job!) confined to a wheelchair works very well and it doesn't feel gimmicky at all. What's better is that there's a great fucking reason why she's paralyzed below the waist. I loved how this story ties into the previous and how it expands on Charles Lee Ray's history. The movie looks great and it feels at just the right length. The Blu-ray looks outstanding. The sequel, CULT OF CHUCKY (2017), dropped a few days ago and I'm anxiously awaiting that one.
