Chucky is back in, well, both of these actually, despite dying in every sequel the series has ever had. Anyways, there's always a reason, and in Bride, Jennifer Tilly as an old girlfriend raises Chucky from the dead. She turns against him when he's an asshole to her, and then he kills her and puts her soul into a female doll.
Bride, honestly, was watchable though. It does feel a bit more self aware and trying to be comedic, but it still remains in decent territory because the plot is intricate enough to keep you going. Katherine Heigl and her fiancee are going to the East Coast, and they have the dolls with them creating a string of bodies in their wake, hence the two lovers are framed and have to escape the cops. Chucky and his bride clash, deaths are had, and it's fine enough, 2.5 stars.
In Seed, we start with the stupid fact they gave Chucky's son/daughter a awful British voice actor, and then we are also soon enough aware that there is going to be a lot more meta humor and nodding/winking to the audience. At one point Chucky turns to the camera and says "My story is so complicated if it was a film it would have 3 or 4 sequels!"
With Seed, we have a further marked departure towards comedy and stupidity, and it's just dumb. A lot of time during the film, I just sat there, looking blankly at the screen wondering, "What the fuck am I doing?"
This is straight from Wikipedia: "Universal Pictures, which produced the previous three films and had expected a more conventional slasher film with the son being a murderous villain, rejected the script with the note 'This is too gay.'" Hilarious.
This one fucking sucked. It's like, not only does the film suck, but the deaths aren't even that great, and it has the weakest death of Chucky yet. Also, stupid trying-to-be-ambiguous ending that you just want to say shut up. They try to do a whole meta thing a lot and it's just not that great. One star.
