Gentle Glen (Billy Boyd) is a ventriloquist's dummy, the offspring of evil doll Chucky (Brad Dourif) and his doll bride (Jennifer Tilly), both of whom are now deceased. When the orphaned Glen hears that a film is being made about his parents, he goes to Hollywood and resurrects them in an attempt to get to know them better. He is horrified when Chucky and his lover embark on a new killing spree, and Chucky is equally horrified that his son has no taste for evil.

Critics Consensus

Give Seed of Chucky credit for embracing the increasing absurdity of the franchise -- even if the end results really aren't all that funny or entertaining.

Calling Seed of Chucky silly is an understatement. However, it's also one of the most radical studio films of the aughts: a distillation of Camp; a piece about performance; and, with both, a self-aware tale of gender.

3/5

Installment No. 5 in the once-moribund Child's Play franchise isn't quite the roller coaster from hell that the series' last outing was, but it's surely the most engaging, and, dare I say, emotionally honest.

By far, the most shocking carnage is Tilly carving up her persona. What a doll.

This should have never been made. Jennifer Tilly was wasted. I'm not sure why Redman was there...It's a franchise killer.

This is such an insane direction for the franchise that basically kills it. "Seed of Chucky" is one of the worst horror films I've ever seen and the fact that the creator wrote and directed this is pretty depressing. They destroyed their own franchise!

3.5/5

Mancini took a big swing by going full comedy, playing into the absurdity of killer dolls, while touching on poignant topics like gender identity, addiction, and acceptance.

Seed of Chucky is the worst in the entire history of the killer Good Guy Doll movies. The film really has no redeeming qualities what so ever. The films plot is ridiculous although it does tackle some subjects like gender identification which had really never been explored in a horror film before. The film is so bad to the point of unwatchable and the ending is also just trash. The film tries to be funny but ends up just immature and cheesy (even though that's kind of the point of the movie it is still absolutely dreadful). This movie might be fun to watch with friends while looking for a pointless, brainless film, but for a horror film this is one of the worst.

If you want to read the review I wrote for this, go to letterboxd.com/HankIsDead514. I can no longer post long reviews on here and I'm not writing two separate reviews for the same movie.

the worst without doubt, although at least if it fulfills its purpose good self-parody to the franchise
