This is one of my favorite horror comedies, and next to the first two movies, my favorite in the Child’s Play franchise. I really love the heavy metal vibe of it, the use of Rob Zombie music in two scenes (particularly a cute and hilarious moment of Chucky rocking out to some White Zombie), and the great chemistry between Brad Dourif and Jennifer Tilly as demented lovers Chucky and Tiffany.
Tilly in particular just owns this movie. She just dives right into the self-aware dark comedy of it all, and just relishes playing a sexy psychopath stuck in a doll body, done up 90’s biker chick style in a leather jacket, bridal gown, and bleached blonde hair. I don’t care about the plot with Katherine Heigl and her boyfriend or any of the other stuff, it’s just the scenes between Dourif and Tilly that give the film its most fun and heart as a joyfully weird horror comedy.
