Critics Consensus

Bride of Chucky is devoid of any fright and the franchise has become tiresomely self-parodic, although horror fans may find some pleasure in this fourth entry's camp factor.

Distancing itself from Child’s Play, Child’s Play 2, and Child’s Play 3 in name only, this 1998 sequel is a horror comedy with one shocking scene and one very funny one

Bride of Chucky strings together a series of humorous asides and knee-jerk shock tactics.

This was so bad. I had a hard time staying awake during this because it was so boring and the jokes were all low hanging fruit. Chucky used to be dark and scary. What happened??

Rated: 1/5

This was a painful watch. The decision to lean into a more comedic tone felt like a death nail to this franchise. Jennifer Tilly did her best but it wasn't enough to save this.

Rated: 1/5

Horror Movie Club Podcast

Four characters on a road trip with both shared and opposing goals is a core concept that bears fruit in the form of interesting character dynamics, well-paced action, exciting sequences, and deeper themes regarding forbidden love.

Rated: 4.5

En general las películas de terror resultan desagradables, inapropiadas y son un tipo de contenido que debería ser prohibido y eliminado en las películas y bastantes series de televisión, y las de Chucky tienen algo de sangre y resulta medio feo, y con algunas escenas inapropiadas que pueden resultar cochinas, recomiendo nunca ver ni una cosa ni la otra, vean cosas buenas y agradables porque para entretenimiento hay videojuegos, competiciones, deportes, ánime, y caricaturas, de lo bueno hay mucho para elegir así que eviten basuras, nada de Saw, Chucky, etc.

Bride of Chucky marks a thrilling return to form for the franchise, injecting fresh energy, dark humor, and inventive gore into the series. The film embraces its over-the-top premise, pairing Chucky with the equally deadly Tiffany, creating a twisted duo whose chemistry is both terrifying and hilariously chaotic. The horror is more playful yet still vicious, with inventive kills and practical effects that satisfy longtime fans. The self-aware tone and sharp dialogue give the film a unique personality, balancing scares with black comedy while revitalizing a series that had begun to feel formulaic. A stylish, gory, and darkly funny resurrection of the franchise, Bride of Chucky proves that the killer doll can still shock and entertain—4/5.
