IT’S PLAYTIME… AGAIN!

Chucky is brought to life again and tracks down his previous ”owner”, Andy (Alex Vincent), who’s now living in a foster family.

The sequel is off to a bad start with a thoroughly moronic script that comes up with convoluted reasons for Andy to be reunited with the wise-cracking, homicidal doll that tries to be a new Freddy Krueger.

Subpar acting also hurts the film, but Chucky is fun to watch, the score is inspired and the finale in a doll factory features spectacular, bloody effects.
