Apparently, you just can’t keep an evil killer doll down.
Nine years after Seed of Chucky, the title character – who first appeared in 1988’s Child’s Play – is back for a sixth installment with next year’s Curse of Chucky. Brad Dourif (The Lord of the Rings trilogy) reprises his role as Chucky’s voice, and series creator Don Mancini – who has remained involved in the creation of all the films – writes and directs this straight-to-home-video feature.
Here’s the film’s synopsis:
Nica (Fiona Dourif) is grieving over the gruesome suicide of her mother when her domineering older sister Barb (Danielle Bisutti) arrives with her young family in tow to help settle their mother’s affairs. As the sisters butt heads over Nica’s plans for the future, Barb’s young daughter comforts herself with a grinning, red-haired talking doll named Chucky (voiced again by Brad Dourif) that recently arrived mysteriously in the mail. But as a string of brutal murders begins to terrorize the household, Nica suspects the doll may hold the key to the bloodshed. What she doesn’t know is that Chucky has a personal score to settle. He’s determined to finish a job he started more than 20 years earlier, and this time he’s going to see it through to the bloody and shocking end.
Notably, Jennifer Tilly and Billy Boyd (also of Lord of the Rings fame) are absent from the cast list, as they appeared in previous films as Chucky’s wife Tiffany and son Glen, respectively. It’s unconfirmed, then, how exactly this latest entry will tie into the previous films – let alone the original Child’s Play – as it appears Chucky is the only returning character.
However, considering that Fiona Dourif is the real-life daughter of Brad Dourif, the film’s plot could conceivably – and this is all speculation at this point – be a case of art imitating life. Chucky is, after all, possessed by the spirit of infamous serial killer Charles Lee Ray. It’s entirely plausible then that Ray conceived a child before his soul passed into the Chucky doll. Just a theory.
Are you interested to find out what Chucky’s mysterious mission is? Or is this one horror franchise that needs to die itself?
Curse of Chucky is currently filming and is planned for a direct-to-video release in 2013.

The premise sounds dumb but im a big fan of the first three and glad to hear Don Mancini is back directing it though.
Id say this franchise needs to do die if they resorted to a straight to DVD sequel. Bride Of Chucky wasn’t very good but Seed Of Chucky was awful. I thought they were remaking Child’s Play. I know i’ll be renting the movie. Because id sure glad i didn’t buy Piranha 3DD which was awful for a straight to DVD sequel.
I thought they were remaking the original aswell.But seriously this needs to stop if this is the movies plot they’re running with.Rather see a remake of Hellraiser or Candyman starring Samual L Jackson.
Piranha 3DD was not straight to DVD, but yeah it stunk.
Direct to video eh? Wouldn’t hurt to check it out of the Redbox when it comes out. Sounds kind of interesting especially if it goes back to true to form. Your writeup makes it seem that way. Child’s Play 1 and 2 scared the crap out of me when I was a kid. My cousin had one of those dolls also and it just freaked me out everytime I saw it at his house. Anyway after Child’s Play 1 and 2 everything else has been a disappointment even though they were funny. Never have understood why 80′s horror movies started going the way of comical route and/or had to take things to space with each later releases.
This sounds like they might be going back to where the series started, namely a horror movie. The last few were basically self- parodies, making fun of themselves, people forget the original was scary as hell. When I first saw Child’s Play it freaked me out, then it just turned into a joke.
this might end up being like the universal soldier franchise in which they ‘skip’ some of the entries and mess up the order in which the movies take place – universal soldier is followed by regeneration (the newest entry) THEN the return (which is the 4th entry into the series, but intended sequel to jcvd’s unisol), and they skipped the original 2 and 3 which had different actors in them (hope all that makes sense).
this might be following similar suite – chucky is the only thing from the series present and the plot kips the death of the serial killer making it somewhat of a sequel to one of the original 3 movies (i haven’t seen them in a while so i cant guess to which one).
I. WANT. A. REMAKE. The story of chucky has just crumbled, I mean it started with Bride of Chucky that was acceptable but Seed of Chucky wasn’t. I want the old Chucky back and the only way I think we will get that Chucky back is if they remade the series.
Anyways, I’ll redbox this for sure LOL.
I’ll be honest im looking foreword to this yeah the premise is a little stupid but its not a REMAKE and for that reason alone I cant wait bring it on!
Chucky’s voice, and series creator Don Mancini – who has remained involved in the creation of all the films – writes and directs this straight-to-home-video feature.
I enjoyed the first couple but to revive this franchise smacks of desperation. Get some ORIGINAL ideas already!
I really enjoyed the first two films. But Child’s Play 3 was good atleast but Bride Of Chucky was just fun to watch & should of ended it there. Hated Seed Of Chucky & id prefer a remake rather than a sequel. But i guess i’ll be renting it no doubt. Aslong as theres no Tiffany & Glen/Glenda. Only have Chucky.
Hey, at least it’s not a remake!!! Right? Am I right???
Now all we need is A Nightmare on Elm Street 8 and Jason X-2 , Evil Dead 4 or is it Army of Darkness 2? Alien 5, Ghostbusters 3, Terminator 5… or more wishfully James Cameron’s: Terminator 3. -Titled that exactly. Gremlins 3 for crying out loud! That one is long overdue! RETURN OF THE SEQUELS!!! RETURN OF THE SEQUELS!!! Down with Re-makes!
Im open to Terminator 5 aslong they keep it post-judgement day.
Dumb and Dumber To!
I’m a big fan of Fiona Dourif, so it would be so great to see her in the film.
Sounds like it’ll be a lot of fun. It’s good they’re leaving out the 2 major things that tainted the series, which is Tiffany and Glen.
The first movie was awesome, the second movie was better (just my opinion, the toy factory scene is awesome), and the third was okay. It seems like this new one is going to drop the comedy that “Seed” focused on, but it’s a shame it’s straight-to-DVD. I guess “Seed” being a flop can be blamed for that.
I agree with ya Gary. Only reason i watch the last two films is because of Brad Dourif as the voice of Chucky. Its good to know Tiffany & Glen won’t be back, i hope that stays true. Some straight to dvd sequels i enjoyed like Wrong Turn 2 & 3 but not 4 as i should say prequel.
Please don’t tell me anyone took these films seriously. The last ones got a bit meta at the end but they’re all just a bit of fun. Glad to see Dourif returning.
I for one, cannot wait for this movie!! I’ve been waiting and waiting for a new Chucky movie to come out forever now, and now that I know this movie is coming out next fall, I’m sooo happy!!! and wow, I didn’t know Brad had a daughter…I think its cool that she’s playing in the movie. But, even though I’m excited for the movie, I’m also disappointed, because it won’t be in theaters and because Tiffany, Glen and Glenda won’t be in it….and also, it looks like Andy won’t be in it ether, which sucks! But, I’m sure it’ll still be a good movie. And, I hope they make a Child’s Play remake or something soon after this one! I can’t wait….I just wish this year will go by faster!! lol
And also, for the people who said they hated Bride and Seed…in my opinion, those movies were just as good as the others…because if you were a true Chucky fan, you would love all of the movies, no matter if the last were horror/comedy or not!
Does anyone know how they are pronouncing Nica? I’ve had this name for almost 30 years and have yet to hear a similar pronunciation so, needless to say, I’m a little giddy to find out!
punkybrewste I agree if they was a true Chucky fan they would of liked it I liked all of them I just hope the ones that don’t want a new one that don’t ruin it for the ones that do want a new one I want to see it I wish it would come back sooner
I totally agree with you. I don’t understand why people hate The ‘Bride if Chucky’ and ‘Seed of Chucky’?! Personally, I loved the fact he had a wife and son. I also loved the fact that they were black comedies for once. Such a shame Tiffany(My favourite) and Glen/Glenda will be removed
I do hope the ‘Curse of Chucky’ will be just as good though
My fave quote from Tiffany..” Just a littleee slip” I will miss her and her humourous, romantic ways
Ok lets get to the point,
I loved the first 3 films they were scarey as hell especially the first 2 but when the last 2 Bride of Chucky and Seed of Chucky came out they really killed the series seriously they completely made this into a complete joke rather than a scary flick I want to see the origional Chucky version back with his face back to normal like in the first 3 films and please dont kill the Dimbla ritual in this one like they did in the last 2 films
I know my kids would want to see it my kids are a big fan of the Chuck’s my daughter has every movie that was ever made about Chucky . This is just so weird that I logged on the Internet today & I see this story cause just about a month ago she was watching the bride of Chucky & she said I wish they would make another Chucky but I told her they wouldn’t cause it was way to old to make another one so I really hope u do make another one @ least for the kids but make this one more scarier
I don’t care how laughable the franchise has become… that creepy doll still scares the $#!* out of me
So the remake of the first film is off then?
cant wait for this!!! chucky is allways fun 2 watch hope they never let it die!!long live the chuck
this makes my head hurt
For some reason, I kind of like that it’s direct to DVD. For some reason, I feel like that means they’re not doing for the money, but that it’s something they actually want to make. And the fact that they’re leaving out the girlfriend and the son means they might be making it less stupid. I’m kind of looking forward to this.
what about Andy and tyler?, they are part of the original chucky movies, in the third movie chucky was triying to get in tyler’s body, I think that they should appear in the new movie.
What the f*** ever happend to andy Barclay? ??
I know right? From what I’ve read, that actor wants to do movies, but none of his jobs go through. And I think Andy as a grown up with the original actor (not the one from pt 3) would be awesome.
I was a fan of Chucky for the past 20 years & I got the best fright from Child’s Play 2. The original was awesome, love the chilling effects that Chucky delivered however, part 3 was a downfall.
The series caught my attention again in Bride of Chucky that earns Jennifer Tilly another big time fan. Yes! I seriously thinks she’s sexy and hot~ Even Chucky mentioned Ms Tilly is the only one in Hollywood that has the biggest ‘talent’ to be his bride. (he was too shy to say boobs)
Seed was indeed not as good as the previous but I do enjoy the scenes like Chucky ‘educating’ Glen. Tiffany was as loveable as b4 and there’s so much Jennifer Tilly to see. Fantastic!
I’m so exicited on the remake and sequel and really glad that the series is returning to its horror roots. However, it really won’t kills to have Tiffany & Glen back as they could be the classic wicked family causing a hellraising experience~
