Two years after serial killer Charles Lee Ray (Brad Dourif) inserted his soul into a Chucky doll, a toy company attempts to re-create the doll, bringing Ray back in the process. The possessed doll, intent on claiming a human body, kills his way toward former owner Andy (Alex Vincent), who now lives in a foster home. Andy's foster sister, Kyle (Christine Elise), tries to protect him, but his foster parents believe Andy is just a troubled kid -- and Chucky's murderous path continues.

Time Out

Only in the highly orchestrated, surprisingly gory climax, wherein Chucky's plastic form takes on the sins of the flesh, is there a spark of originality.

Washington Post

An inevitable sequel that's not as good as its progenitor, but better than most movies with the numbers 2 through 8 in their titles.

Combustible Celluloid

The film is surprisingly well-shot with all kinds of strange angles and unsettling spaces, notably the toy factory where the climactic showdown takes place.

Rated: 3/4

Father Son Holy Gore

Mancini has big things to say about capitalism aimed at kids, though they don't always come across as well as in other portions of the franchise.

Rated: 3/5

Antagony & Ecstasy

In embracing its identity as a tacky horror movie, and totally scrapping the murder mystery angle that made the original so wobbly, it manages to be a darn sight more fun to watch.

Rated: 6/10

Too much effort went towards giving Chucky life in this film, while other things like the writing, acting, and direction were left for dead.

If you are a Chucky fan, do not let the negative reviews deter you. I seriously do not know what these people are thinking about, or what their expectations of a Chucky movie is. It's a killer doll, what "more" should it give? This is the best series of the franchise. I think this is where the real Chucky starts to take form, his personality starts to come out even more, and the kills and scares are even better. It also I think where they finally begin expanding his lore and really adding that signature look and feel to the movie that made it really about toys, childhood etc. I highly recommend this for any true Chucky fan-- the best of the series!

Don't care what the critics say, this is the best of the OG trio. The kills are bloodier and Andy is an amazing lead. Go see this movie.

Critics and audiences don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about. This is a perfect Chucky movie on every level, arguably the best. How Cult of Chucky has a better audience score than this masterpiece is an embarrassment
