Chucky's back. And this time he's got a girlfriend, Tiffany (Jennifer Tilly). Their way of having a good time is going on a murder-spree road trip, killing any and everything that gets in their way. Along for the ride are Jade (Katherine Heigl) and Jesse (Nick Stabile), a pair of teens on the run from their uncaring parents. As the body count rises, Jade and Jesse must deal with the consequences of their killer dolls. This fourth installment in the CHILD'S PLAY series is a campy horror extravaganza.

This fourth encounter with devilish doll Chucky is the most entertaining of the Child's Play series, thanks to Ronny Yu's colourful direction, a wickedly humorous tone and the irresistible presence of Jennifer Tilly. Clearly inspired by the tongue-in-cheek playfulness of Scream, there's more laughter than slaughter as Chucky and new dolly girl Tiffany plot to escape their diminutive frames. Although the story is lightweight even by the standards of a horror spoof, the witty references to horror classics of past and present and the hilarious interplay (and intercourse) between the rubber lovers resurrect this series from its movie grave.

Ok I have wondered for ages what the fuss was all about when it came to Bridge of Chucky (Chucky 4 this is btw). I've never seen any of the others so thought I'd grab the latest and check it out!
I was suprised that although it conforms to many of the stereotypes of modern horror (heavy metal soundtrack, dressing and leather, multiple piercings etc) its still both funny and just gory enough to entertain while not being stomach turning! Most of the peripheral characters are just there as cannon fodder for Chucky but you still care enough to find out what happens next!
In fact Jennifer Tilly as 'Tiffany' is excellent both vaguely beliveable and, ultra twisted while still being quite likeable! The voice of chucky, Brad Douriff (what else has he done recently?' is great as the evil Chucky, who makes quite a change as a villian who really has a sadistic sense of humour. Also the 'find a more interesting way to kill people' is pretty funny.
All in all it's a great Friday night film with a few beers or fans of the genre. I shall be looking the others up soon!
