When the notoriously evil Chucky doll and his lover gave birth, they had no idea that their spawn would grow up to be a peace-loving kind of guy; however, that's exactly what Glen turns out to be: a gentle soul who is horrified at what he has been told about his family. After hearing the news of a film being made about his parents' murderous legacy, Glen sets off for Hollywood, where he promptly brings Chucky and Tiffany back to life. Far from diving into doting fatherhood, Chucky is seriously disappointed in his son's lack of inherent evil and tries his best to impart his vast knowledge of all things malevolent before Glen becomes some sort of do-gooder. Elsewhere, Tiffany finds that she will be played by Jennifer Tilly in their movie and doesn't hesitate to let her son in on their family's most cherished tradition -- killing sprees. Directed by Don Mancini, Seed of Chucky features Brad Dourif returning as the voice of Chucky, while Tilly plays both herself and Tiffany. The offspring of the evil pair, Glen, is voiced by Lord of the Rings star Billy Boyd. Cult film director John Waters also makes an appearance, as does hip-hop artist Redman. ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide

Ooooh! Why wasn't SEED OF CHUCKY more popular? Could it be the rather overt gender-bending angle? The charmingly over-the-top sense of humor that renders even the goriest blood bath more funny than ugly? The absolutely splendid ability of Jennifer Tilly to make wicked fun of herself, her image, her voice, her body, her movies--screw it, her entire career? This has got to be one of the bravest self-kidding performances a movie star has ever put to celluloid, far outdoing even Cher's in "Stuck on You". (Redman does a pretty good job of this, too: Note his pronunciation of "ax" for "ask" as he reads from his "Biblical" screenplay.)
Don Mancini may not yet possess the directorial chops necessary for a major career, but as a writer--he's done all the "Chucky" movies--he grows more clever with each outing (no pun intended). "Bride" and "Seed" are by far the best of his lot. More than a mere "guilty pleasure," this one is not to be missed by appreciative fans of Tilly, Chucky, or "camp" that aspires to a high-level indeed. Perhaps that's an impossible aspiration? See for yourself and while you're at it, don't miss the enchantingly ghoulish introduction of the cast in the end credits. |
