Don Mancini takes a completely different approach (both narratively and aesthetically) in 'Cult of Chucky', proving you just can't keep a Good Guy down in the franchise's sixth sequel.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 11, 2022

...As I sat there admiring some staggeringly beautiful close-ups of Chucky, I started to simultaneously resent Mancini for not training his eye on something new...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 3, 2022

The gleefully grisly mix of tongue-in-cheek humour, self-referential in-jokes and comic-strip slaughter continues in the seventh trip to the Child's Play store.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 20, 2021

While never very suspenseful, Cult of Chucky marries gore with gags aplenty.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 3, 2020

Cult Of Chucky, like Curse before it, serves as a great reminder that there's life in the old doll yet.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Oct 4, 2019

Others may enjoy a bit of splatter, but there isn't enough here to promote the franchise stumbling on - put the doll back in the box.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Dec 21, 2018

While the plot is supremely silly, hardcore devotees will be delighted to find twists and turns along the way.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 18, 2018

Cult of Chucky is either the Final Chapter or a New Beginning. Either way, this most tenacious of horror franchises can walk on with its head held high.

| Dec 18, 2018

A strong seventh outing that tonally fits somewhere between Child's Play and Bride of Chucky, Cult of Chucky is a lot of fun.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 29, 2018

If any of the Child's Play installments before this one made you question the franchise, Cult of Chucky will restore your faith in this deranged doll and all his unhinged antics.

| Dec 19, 2017

Cheesy, violent, and gory sequel from tired franchise.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 24, 2017

...a strong entry that takes the series in decidedly unexpected (and not always successful, admittedly) directions.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 21, 2017

It's a gore fest that contains surprisingly suspenseful moments which bode well until the third act where things fall apart.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 11, 2017

A movie besotted with horror movies, with nary a trace of irony.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 7, 2017

Mancini writes and directs the movie like everyone cares deeply about these people coming back when all we may kind of be interested in is Chucky going on a killing spree.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Oct 4, 2017

Cult Of Chucky roots itself in nostalgia long enough to shock us all by flipping the Child's Play franchise on its head in an invigorated, inspiring, and oh-so-deadly way.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Oct 3, 2017

I appreciate what [Director] Mancini is going for with "Cult of Chucky," and while it isn't as abysmal as "Seed of Chucky," it's nevertheless an inferior follow up...

| Oct 3, 2017

I never would have taken the bet that the seventh film in the franchise would be one of its best, but here we are.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 2, 2017

The seventh Chucky film is the most personal, elegant and deranged one yet and sees franchise creative mainstay Don Mancini in top form.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Sep 29, 2017

Inventive, sinister and with some ingenious kills, Cult of Chucky is right up there with the best that this fan favourite franchise has put out since its inception in 1988. Wanna play? You bet we do!

| Original Score: 8/10 | Sep 28, 2017
