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??

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.

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.

Seven years after the failure of Child’s Play 3, the franchise returned with Bride of Chucky, shifting towards horror-comedy by introducing Tiffany and sidelining Andy. Directed by Ronny Yu in his first American film, it retains Don Mancini’s script and the use of animatronics despite advancing technology, preserving the saga’s authentic charm. The short runtime keeps the pace lively, with varied kills that are more graphic yet rarely original, while the controversial addition of an amulet to explain Chucky’s possession logic still makes sense within the timeline. Although the heavy humor and Tiffany’s presence alter the atmosphere too drastically, the film remains a solid entry—though less impactful than the first two.
