Night Shyamalan made The Visit in 2015, he managed to win back the naysayers who had all but written him off. The rewarding reappearance of Andy Barclay (Alex Vincent) makes the case for this kind of drawn-out storytelling, rare in slasher movies. The latest sequels are lower-budget than the theatrical releases that came before them, but they showcase Chucky’s endurance (he’s still voiced by the inimitable Brad Dourif) and Mancini’s ability to continue surprising his audience. Over the course of nearly 30 years, Chucky’s creator Don Mancini has navigated the series from horror to comedy and back again - without ever resorting to an ill-advised reboot. It’s tough to say with a straight face, and Cult of Chucky wisely injects a little bit of humor back into the Child’s Play franchise after the more straightforward horror of Curse. Picking up four years after 2013’s Curse of Chucky, Cult of Chucky sees Nica (Fiona Dourif) now confined to a mental institution where she struggles to convince her doctors and fellow patients that it really was an evil doll who murdered her entire family.
