I remember that this movie was the first movie I rented at the age of 12 when I got my own video rental customer card. I always enjoyed this movie, though it has been a long time since I last watched it. Seeing it now, I feel that it went a little to far with its meta humor at times. But I still enjoyed it.
I always thought that Phoebe Cates was really cute in this movie.

Seed of Chucky, a review by Rich

Title: Seed of Chucky

Movie Count:27 
TV Ep. Count:16 

Runtime:87
Certificate:NR
Year:2004
Genres:Horror, Action, Comedy

Plot:In this outrageous, unrated and fully extended version of Seed of Chucky, everyone's favorite killer doll returns – and he's bringing the entire family!  This time around, Chucky (voiced again by Brad Dourif) and his homicidal honey, Tiffany, are brought back to life by their orphan offspring, Glen.  Then, the horror goes Hollywood as Chucky unleashes his own brand of murderous mayhem!  Featuring Academy Award® nominee* Jennifer Tilly (as herself and the voice of Tiffany) and hip-hop star Redman, it's more gore, more gags, and much more Chucky doing his dirtiest deeds yet!

My Review:
Hilarious horror parody, Tilly is great value as nutty Thunderbirds go mad. It is a ridiculous farce, but it knows it, and plays on it, so the franchise has been driven from weak horror to fairly good comedy.
The introduction of the asexual 'seed' opens up new plot routes, and several scenes were truly gut-wretchingly funny and would make you think twice for a variety of bizarre reasons about having a wooden doll in your bedroom.
Buy this for a laugh, not for a scare.

My Thoughts:
And this brings us to the end of season one. This is a very good story... I enjoyed every minute of it. Had action and excitement from what happen to both Cordelia and Wesley... to a nice surprise ending to give us something to look forward to for season 2. A very good conclusion to the season!
