Bride of Chucky | 1998 | R | - 4.8.7

The villainous doll Chucky is here again, and this time he has a buddy -- a female buddy. With Jennifer Tilly, Brad Dourif, John Ritter, Katherine Heigl, Nick Stabile, Alexis Arquette and Kathy Najimy. [1:29]

SEX/NUDITY 4 - Sexual innuendo. A couple dolls have sex with moaning and thrusting; we see a bit of the female doll's bare buttocks. A couple kiss and moan in bed, but remain clothed. We see some suggestive dancing; a bit of a woman's bare buttocks are visible. Some scantily clad women and men.

VIOLENCE/GORE 8 - Many murders are committed throughout the film -- some people are stabbed, a man's throat is slit, a man is mutilated by a truck, a couple is impaled by a mirror and a man is impaled by nails -- and we see lots of bloody bodies, wounds and weapons. A man is shot in the head; we see blood on his body and blood splattering onto gravestones. In a few scenes, dolls and people are bloody after murdering others. We see a severed, bloody finger. A chain is ripped out of man's lip (we see lots of blood). We see a couple slightly bloody corpses and a decomposed corpse in a coffin. A doll that was put in an oven is burned. Threatening with guns and knives, explosions and reckless driving.

LANGUAGE 7 - About 14 F-words, a couple anatomical references and many scatological references and mild obscenities.

DISCUSSION TOPICS - Dolls, murder, Evil.

MESSAGE - The Chucky franchise should die a quiet death.

CAVEATS

Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.

We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.

Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
