THE KILLER DOLL IS BACK! THIS INTRODUCES GLEN, THE ORPHAN DOLL OFFSPRING OF THE IRREPRESSIBLE DEVILISH-DOLL-COME-TO-LIFE CHUCKY & HIS EQUALLY TWISTED BRIDE TIFFANY.

This movie was dumb in my opinion.
It was definately not scary or as good as the other Chucky movies!

Child's Play 1 sold seperately..

"This Chucky Killer Collection contains 4 films on 2 flip discs from the Chucky/Child's Play series. Disc 1 side A contains "Child's Play 2", side B contains "Child's Play 3". Disc 2 side A contains "Bride of Chucky", side B contains "Seed of Chucky". All the bonus features are on "Seed" and "Bride" meaning there are no special features for part 2 & 3. If you want the UNRATED VERSION of "Seed of Chucky" you will have to purchase it elsewhere, this collection contains all R rated versions. Also Child's Play 1 isnt in this collection.. this is a "Universal Pictures" collection and the original Child's Play wasnt released by them. Plain and simple "the reason why it's not included".. all and all this is a nice little collection, my advice is to just buy the first movie seperately if you dont have it already but, for sure pick this up! It's at a great price for 4 movies!"
Ridiculous, silly, and very, very, funny

"Make me laugh as much as this film and you get four stars at least, hands down. You figure; you've got a couple of dolls possessed by murderous spirits and who somehow go around murdering people for fun and right away you can forget all about suspension of disbelief. Anything is okay here, since the premise is so absurd. This is not a horror film, it is primarily a comedy with a bit of blood. And Jennifer Tilly is hysterical as herself playing the screen idea of herself: on a diet, sneaking candy bars, ready to play a sexy version of the Virgin Mary for a film done by Rapper Redman. It is so good to see a gorgeous woman on screen who doesn't look like she's starving to death.
And, oh, yeah, the special effects are incredible. All done with puppets, not CGI. Very impressive. For this alone, all you guys out there studying film, this film is worthwhile.
Just let me put it this way: if you liked the Gremlin films, this one is for you."
Chucky and Tiffany's Androgynous Child

"Continuing from Bride of Chucky... Tiffany has given birth to a strange looking razor tooth baby named Sh*thead. The seed is kidnapped by a british ventriloquist and forced to compete in ventriloquism contests in England. Sh*thead looks like a dead ringer for David Bowie in his Ziggy Stardust days. He has a kind soul and is nothing like his parents.
As each day passes hes wondering where his parents are and dreaming of meeting them. Soon enough he manages to escape and ends up in America. He makes it to the set of the movie where Tiffany and Chucky are filming a movie. He reads the voodoo chant words on his necklace and manages to bring his parents back to life.
Chucky and Tiffany cant tell what their child is so they take off his pants to reveal a barbie-like crotch. Tiffany wants a girl so she names her Glenda and Chucky wants a boy so he names him Glen. If you ask me id say its more like a boy. But Tiffany and Chucky continue to argue over it throughout the movie. To the suprise of Glen/Glenda his parents are killers , they try to do whats best for Glen/Glenda but its hard to stop killing, especially for Chucky. Papa Chucky wants to turn his son into a killer but Tiffany wants to stop the killing for her son/daughters best interest.
Overall, its a strange funny film more than scary. The movies in the series just get more weird by the years. I wonder what they'll think of next."

"I'm totally in love with the Chucky films now, not so much the earlier ones, but the later ones are soooo funny! I've already had to buy my own copy of Bride Of Chucky, and now I want my own copy of this! It's so good! The thing about Bride & Seed of Chucky, is that they are stand alone films - you only need to have a basic knowledge of the previous 3 films.
It carries on from Bride Of Chucky, with the 'seed of Chucky' fertilising an egg, and a child coming to life. Then it all goes haywire, and I had difficulty trying to figure out what on earth was going on! :) Thankfully, I didn't open my mouth & ask, cos I eventually figured it out. There's actually a film being made about Chucky & Tiffany, with new dolls (as you remember they were basically destroyed at the end of Bride), and Jennifer Tilly is in the film, but actually playing Jennifer Tilly. It all gets very confusing, cos I thought they'd actually managed to bring back Jennifer Tilly playing Tiffany, but they hadn't.
The child doll that was born, I've read many reviews saying that it looks like an early David Bowie - no it doesn't!!! Can no one see the resemblence between Glen(da), and the characters in Corpse Bride? The hollowed cheekbones (grrrr), and dark shadowed eyes?
And how refreshing is it to see an actress like Jennifer Tilly not starving herself to death and being proud enough to flaunt her curves? She's a gorgeous gal (she's 47!), and although you're quite often distracted by her cleavage, she's a welcome change to many other Hollywood stars with no cleavage, and all bony. She was apparently trying to lose weight for this film, but just in case she didn't, she got a few 'fat' jokes written in. She also mocks her voice and her behaviour. (And she has dark hair in this too!)
There are a lot of in jokes & celebrity references in this, most of which I probably missed, but there are a couple I got. There are some references to one of Jennifer's other films, Bound, which I haven't seen, and she talks about her 'special' relationship with her other costar. There's a very, very good lookalike of Britney Spears in this, who Chucky drives off the road, and then says "Ooops, I did it again!" Jennifer talks frequently about Julia Roberts stealing all the good roles, and about how she could have done a better job of Erin Brockovich, and not needed a wonderbra. She also mentions Anna Nicole Smith. John Waters appears, as a paparazzi, and dies a very unusual death. Other references include Psycho, Shining ("I can't think of a thing to say"), Rosemary's Baby, and I spotted a hint of Pinocchio? There's references to Martha Stewart as well, but there was a brief reference to her in the previous film. There are plenty of other references, you'll have great fun spotting them.
Hannah Spearritt also appears, in one of her major film roles, since S Club 7 split up (who I loved by the way, and I still have all their albums!), and although she does end up getting killed off, she is a breath of fresh air, as a star who is also not afraid of her body.
I'm still after my Tiffany doll, but so far, no such luck. Tiffany & Chucky make such a cute couple in this, they're so sweet together.
Who else thinks there will be at least one more Chucky? If I can do my maths correct (ha!), there's a 20th anniversary coming up soon, so maybe a new film especially for that. I hope so, cos I'm officially loving these films now. I'm sure there's a couple of references I've missed too."

"Whenever a horror film involves killer dolls, a high camp factor is sure to ensue. However, the first three Chucky films (then known as Child?s play) actually were semi-serious horror films. Humor and camp were always present but were still a background drop to what were essentially still horror films meant to give the viewer some jolts. After the 3rd Child?s Play, a mediocre effort at best, the franchise seemed ready to die a slow death. Director Ronny Yu?s film Bride of Chucky, the fourth in the franchise, changed all of that. Yu injected his film with atmosphere, style and outrageous humor that reinvigorated the franchise. The film added another doll, a female lover companion to chucky and made these dolls the centerpiece of the film, instead of the first 3 where Chucky was a seldom-seen spooky doll that only appeared at the most inadvertent moments. The fifth film in this series, ?Seed of Chucky? goes one step above Yu?s film to pump the camp factor thousandfold. It?s an amusing entry however I?m convinced after watching Seed of Chucky that the franchise will never be able to recover from the ridicule certain to be bestowed upon it by genre fans.
Anyone who saw Bride of Chucky will never forget the site of dolls Chucky and Tiffany getting down and doing the nasty, a graphic scene that was depicted in all of its plastic glory. Seed of Chucky introduces us to the offspring of this unholy mating, a sex-less, compassionate and confused doll named Glenda. In the movie?s prelude Glenda is stuck in Glastonbury, England working as a puppet ventriloquist for an ingrate slavemaster. One night while in his cage, he sees a show about Chucky and his bride on T.V. and immediately recognizes them as what must be his parents. He manages to flee his cage and flies to Hollywood to meet his parents. His parents, of course are long asleep, but he manages to reawaken them by reticing the famous Chucky voodoo prayer. Soon, Chucky and Tiffany are awake again and eagerly slaying their way through Tinseltown. Their goal this time is for Chucky to enter the body of film producer/rapper Redman and for Tiffany to enter the body of actress Jennifer Tilly (she of the monstrous bosom).
The good news about Seed of Chucky is that many of the same players return namely good ol? Brad Dourif as the voice of the Chuckster and Jennifer Tilly as herself/Tiffany. However Ronny Yu is no longer at the director?s chair, now replaced with Don Mancini. Mancini, I must say probably has no respect for this franchise whatsoever or has forgotten what has made it so successful in the first place. This franchise used to consist of horror films not straight comedy spoofs! This entry veers into such a ridiculous amount of camp and self-referentiality it can no longer be considered horror. We get Chucky and Tiffany with their own TV shows, endless cracks about Jennifer Tilly?s career, countless gags about other famous celebrities such as Martha Stewart, etc. If anything, this film reminded me of Broken Lizard?s Club Dread or Scary Movie rather than any other entry in the chucky series.
What I did enjoy was the very generous amounts of gore. If anything this film had more gore than any other entry of the series, and that is its only saving grace to horror film fans. Sadly, Seed of Chucky is not nearly as stylish or as good a film as Bride of Chucky, which had a high camp/laugh factor but that at least never completely abandoned the horror spirit. Seed of Chucky has a ludicrous storyline, little suspense and is not in the least bit scary. Still, I?d be lying if I said it?s not downright funny. I busted my gut laughing several times and if you have the least bit of a sense of humor so will you.
