This film is based off the Chucky character created by Don Mancini, and is the sixth sequel to the Child's Play franchise. Nica, a paraplegic living with her mother, gets an unexpected surprise when a strange good guy doll is shipped to their house. After her mother's death, Nica begins to suspect that Chucky, the good guy doll, is the culprit behind the murder. Her remaining family is left vulnerable to his bloody chaos when they fail to believe her. 

This film was written and directed by Don Mancini. This film turns away from the recent comedic outlook on the Child's Play franchise and instead returns to its classic horror roots. It is also made to re-ignite the 80's franchise for modern audiences. The story is not unique because audiences already know the who-done-it, and the goal of the Chucky doll. The horror of the story is different because it doesn't follow a child, or young adults. However, the ending is very surprising because it keeps up to date with the previous films and brings a new change to the franchise. The ending reminds audiences that this is as much a sequel as a reboot. The only bad part is that the characters are very predictable. There are a lot of good moderate jump scares. Some of the death sequences are gorier. There are also plenty of hints of sexuality in the film, but its not over done. The acting was great for this film. It was a treat to watch father and daughter working together. Fiona Dourif played the role of Nica. She was great working alongside her father. She brought innocence and strength to the film. It'd be great to see her in future Child's Play films. Summer H. Howell, Summer Howell, played the role of Alice. She is great in her very limited role. It is unfortunate that she wasn't used more in the film. Brad Dourif was the voice of Chucky. As always, he is great in this role. He brings life to an unusual character. 

I give this film 4 out of 5 stars! It is a great B grade horror film for the fans of the classic films. It may not bring in new audiences, but it is good for laughs and scares.
