Chucky: Complete 7-Movie Collection [DVD]
I**S
Unironically great series of movies
So, I went into these movies thinking I was going to hate them, and the absolute opposite was true. I'm going to go ahead and split this up into three parts since the format of the movies changes exactly twice. In the first three movies, we have Chucky trying to inhabit the body of the most innocent kid in the world, of which he keeps getting framed for everything that happens. It's almost the same movie 3 times in a row with the kid getting a little bit older each movie. There are slight variations on the story for each movie, but it's all very formulaic. I took it as a social commentary of how children are often saddled with the crimes of the adults around them, and in that sense I found the first 3 movies very good.The next movie, Bride of Chucky, we're not longer following the kid but rather the most innocent young couple in love that you've ever seen. In Seed of Chucky we find out that they have given birth to Paddington Bear if you've ever seen either of those movies. Both Bride of Chucky and Seed of Chucky are intended to be comedic, which Bride of Chucky was the only movie I didn't like, but I think that was because I went in with the preconception that it wasn't supposed to be funny when in hindsight they clearly intended it to be comedic. Anyways, I like when something is self aware enough to mock themselves, and I really liked the dynamic of these two psychotic serial killers with this very pure, innocent and fragile child who they're both trying to be good parents to, but of course they're both very selfish and psychotic and have very different ways of how they should rear their child. I thought they succeeded with this change of direction, but again, after these two movies we get something entirely different.So the next two movies are psychological thrillers, and these are the most interesting to me. The first three movies, though I enjoyed them, I don't think they succeeded at being horror films. The last two did. These feel like budget indie movies with their lack of star power and very limited sets, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's also pleasantly surprising how well Chucky fits into these new, more eerie story lines. The pacing is much slower for these ones and the visuals overtake the dialogue in importance. I think the transition to this phase went particularly well, although I wonder what happened to the children from Seed of Chucky. But now that we have the new remake, I suspect we'll just never know. Oh well.Overall I was really surprised at how much I liked these movies. I honestly thought I was going to be watching total garbage at the end, and instead I think I'd go as far as to say the last two were probably the best of the series. I never even watched these movies as a kid, so no nostalgia glasses. Actually really good movies.

Chucky: America's favorite killer doll
Mostly bought this for my intrest of the upcoming Childs Play Movie staring mark hamill which is a reboot of the first Chucky movie called Childs Play as well.While I never actually watched a chucky movie myself... As a kid I was pretty horrified about anything even dogs. As an adult my favorite movies are stuff like alien movies so I grown to enjoy the horror genre quite a bit and see that.... It wasn't really that scarry after all. So for me I view chucky as more like.... Soft core horror compared to like friday the 13th or nightmare on elms street after all since it's about an evil doll and well the horror movies I watch about an evil doll aren't that scary.... But to be far I never actually watch a chucky movie so it's one of the reasons I even bought it. I'll review the actual movies later.From my understanding the first half of movies is like a trillogy since it all has the title of childs play, childs play 2 and child play 3 so im guessing it has a continuing story line for the first 3 movies focusing on this kid called andy barclay and then the second half which is bride of chucky and seed of chucky which has comedy/horror mixed into it from my understanding which is why I don't take chucky so seriously, but the last half of the movies are curse of chucky and cult of chucky which are just supposed to be darker so hopefully it scares me. I mean I do find dolls creepy, but in movies it really doesn't bother me.I can talk about the box itself, enjoyable espeshaly the moving image were it's just chucky staring into your soul.Lot's of special features here too such as deleted scenes, gag reels, evil comes in small packages featurettes, spotlight on location, chucky: building a nightmare, inside the insanity of Cult of Chucky, Good Guy Gone Bad: The Incarnations of Chucky, Storyboard to Final Comparison, Feature Commentaries with Cast and Crew, and more but only for the 4 movies the childs play movies do not have any special features.I'm assuming it's only for region A because I can't really find what region code it is anywere on the box just for anyone who is curious.The box itself came slightly damaged and the blu-ray case was a bit broken on top but whatever as long as the disks are fine, shame no digital copies for this though even if it costs like 10+20 dollers more would have defently been worth it...Either way I think it's a great value for all 7 movies espeshally the 7th one that was only released back in 2017 so not that long ago.
