Four years after Curse of Chucky reunited horror hounds with their favorite Good Guy, writer-director Don Mancini continued to pile on the decades-long story with its seventh entry, Cult of Chucky. Like Curse, the straight-to-VOD sequel revolves around one location — in this case, a mental hospital — and follows the exploits of Nica Pierce (Fiona Dourif), whose fate continues to add a disturbing spin to the term “final girl”.
Does it all work, though? Or is it too much story for one movie? That’s a question the Halloweenies will try to answer in their latest episode. Join the gang as they make sense of the intertwining arcs and the layered mythology, chart the influence of the hospital as a horror setting, dream up the 2017 soundtrack-that-could-have-been, and mull over how this film (and also Curse) truly set the stage for the ensuing TV series.
