"Curse of Chucky" is a supernatural horror film released in 2013. It was directed and written by Don Mancini, who has also worked on previous entries in the iconic "Child's Play" franchise. The movie serves as a direct sequel to "Seed of Chucky," but features a much darker tone that is more in line with the original "Child's Play" films.
The story revolves around Nica Pierce (played by Fiona Dourif), a paraplegic woman who lives with her mother in a secluded mansion. When Nica's mother dies, her sister Barb (Danielle Bisutti), brother-in-law Ian (Brennan Elliott), and their daughter Alice (Summer H. Howell) come to stay with her for the funeral. They also bring along a Good Guy doll named "Chucky" as a gift for Alice.
Soon after Chucky's arrival, strange things begin to happen. Nica starts to suspect that the doll may be alive and responsible for the deaths of several people around her. However, no one believes her, thinking that her suspicions are merely a result of her grief and medication.
As the body count continues to rise, Nica is forced to confront Chucky and discover the truth about his origins and motivations. Along the way, she receives help from an unexpected ally in the form of Andy Barclay (Alex Vincent), a character from the original "Child's Play" films.
"Curse of Chucky" features a return to the series' roots with a focus on suspense, tension, and gore. The film was praised by critics and fans alike for its strong performances, engaging storyline, and effective scares. It has since led to a continuation of the franchise with "Cult of Chucky" and "Chucky," a TV series that premiered in 2021.
