Chucky returns to terrorize his human victim, Nica, who is confined to an asylum for the criminally insane. Meanwhile, the killer doll has some scores to settle with his old enemies, with the help of his former wife.

Jack: Oh. Terrific. They’re bringing back Child’s Play. And what’s what you say? They’ve apparently removed all the campy fun of the movie and replaced it with mediocre-looking CGI? That’s great. That’s exactly what the original film was missing. I’m being sarcastic, in case it’s not clear, because I am not excited for this. Although it does seem to star that woman with whom Frasier tried to have a one night stand that one time, so I’m glad to see her getting that old Frasier bump.

Jake: Let me tell you something, end of this shitty trailer. A true classic may never go out of style, but this is definitely out of style. Syllogisms tell me that means Chucky ain’t a true classic. Choose your words more carefully next time. Because we all know there will be a next time.

Mark: I suppose it’s a competently made sequel of a classic horror franchise, but it’s not like Chucky was at the top of everyone’s lists for IPs they wish they had more of. I think on balance I would prefer that these folks creative energy were invested elsewhere, but I guess the worst outcome of this one is just a moderate waste of time. You know I’m excited for something when the best compliment I can give it is that it won’t be impossibly terrible. Woohoo.
