The trailer for the sixth installment of the CHILD’S PLAY franchise has finally hit and THN are not ones to let fans of the demonic doll down. CURSE OF CHUCKY is directed by creator Don Mancini, who follows up his directorial debut SEED OF CHUCKY with what looks like a darker vibe from the pint-sized psycho and closer to the original. Once again, the superb Brad Dourif voices the ‘Good Guy Doll’, with his real-life daughter Fiona Dourif, leading the horror sequel set for a UK premiere at Film4 FrightFest in August.
Nica (Fiona Dourif) is grieving over the gruesome suicide of her mother when her domineering older sister Barb (Danielle Bisutti) arrives with her young family in tow to help settle their mother’s affairs. As the sisters butt heads over Nica’s plans for the future, Barb’s young daughter comforts herself with a grinning, red-haired talking doll named Chucky (voiced again by Brad Dourif) that recently arrived mysteriously in the mail. But as a string of brutal murders begins to terrorize the household, Nica suspects the doll may hold the key to the bloodshed. What she doesn’t know is that Chucky has a personal score to settle. He’s determined to finish a job he started more than 20 years earlier, and this time he’s going to see it through to the bloody and shocking end.
CURSE OF CHUCKY will be available on various US VOD platforms from 24th September with a Blu-ray/DVD date slated for 8th October. No UK dates for general theatrical or home entertainment release as yet.
Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
