#9 - Cult of Chucky (2017) (first time viewing) - I'll be honest, Child's Play is not a series that I really followed after part 3. I liked part 1, but the others were pretty forgettable to me. That being said, Cult of Chucky was better than I was lead to believe.
The story follows a woman named Nica (Fiona Doriff) who was accused of killing her family and taken to an asylum as she blamed the death on Chucky. As Nica starts to question her own sanity, Chucky decides to recruit some help terrorizing Nica and the other inmates. It's up to Chucky's nemesis: Andy Barclay, to stop Chucky and his wife Tiffany before it's too late.
This film was pretty basic in plot, but still made for a fun watch with a quickly-paced story. The performances were passable, with Brad Douriff stealing the show once again as the legendary voice of Chucky. The death scenes are gleefully evil with some good practical effects. I had a bit of a problem with the ending, as it seemed to be a little rushed while leaving things very much open for sequel. But for how it ended, I couldn't think of a better "pass the torch" moment. That's as far as I'll go without spoiling anything. So far, of my first time viewings, I've had the most fun watching this one.
6 horribly run asylums (like what facility would have people accused of murdering so close in proximity to each other?) out of 10
