💥 Seed of Chucky Reviews

Personal Review

Okay, so Seed of Chucky is…weird. I remember watching it as a teenager and being so confused, but also kind of entertained? Jennifer Tilly is absolutely hilarious as herself, and seeing Chucky and Tiffany as parents is just bizarre. The whole Glen/Glenda storyline is…a lot, but it’s also kind of fascinating. It’s definitely not a ‘good’ movie in the traditional sense, but it’s so over-the-top and campy that it’s hard not to enjoy it on some level. I still laugh at the Britney Spears scene.

Professional Reviews

• Rotten Tomatoes: “Seed of Chucky doubles down on the campy humor of its predecessor, but the self-aware jokes and over-the-top gore fail to land, resulting in a tedious and unfunny horror-comedy. The film’s attempts at satire are clumsy and its characters are irritating, making it a low point in the franchise.
• AllMovie: “Seed of Chucky continues the franchise’s shift towards self-parody, offering a blend of gore and humor that may appeal to some fans. However, the film’s reliance on cheap gags and excessive violence often overshadows any genuine scares, resulting in a messy and uneven viewing experience. Jennifer Tilly’s performance is a highlight, but the film ultimately fails to recapture the magic of earlier installments.
• IGN: “Seed of Chucky is a mixed bag, offering moments of dark humor alongside stretches of tedium. The film’s self-aware approach can be grating, and the plot often feels convoluted. While Jennifer Tilly delivers a memorable performance, the overall experience is likely to leave viewers divided. Ultimately, Seed of Chucky is a forgettable entry in the franchise that fails to live up to its predecessors.
