It has been quite a while since "Bride Of Chucky" stirred up horror fans and elevated the killer doll franchise to new heights, thanks to an imaginative story, a wonderfully paced film and atmospheric cinematography. Even though Ronny Yu has not been on board for the series’ new sequel, "Seed Of Chucky," the film nicely follows up with the same traits, making it a thoroughly enjoyable and sarcastic horror romp. The movie picks up where "Bride Of Chucky" left off, essentially. Chucky (Brad Dourif) and Tiffany (Jennifer Tilly) made love and had a son who ended up separated from his parents. When he sees a promotional clip about a new movie being made about his parents, he heads for Hollywood to find them, bringing them back from the Dead, hoping to finally have a real family. But with Chucky and Tiff’s twisted sense of being, the soft-mannered Glen (Billy Boyd) is in for a surprise, trying desperately to turn them into good citizens. Chucky is outraged that Glen has no inclination for murder and Tiffany wants him to be a girl. The solution to the problem seems to lie with Jennifer Tilly – playing herself – the Hollywood star who is poised to play Tiffany in the movie. Quickly a plan is devised to satisfy everyone, Chucky’s desire for murder, Tiffany’s desire for a girl and Glen’s hopes for a family… and it’s a free-for-all from there. (Look for John Waters’ cameo, for example, or check out the Ed Wood Jr. references sprinkled throughout.)
