Chucky (2021)
A vintage doll brings darkly comic chaos and suspenseful murders to a town exposing its deepest hypocrisies.
After a vintage Chucky doll turns up at a suburban yard sale, an idyllic American town is thrown into chaos as a series of horrifying murders begin to expose the town’s hypocrisies and secrets. Meanwhile, the arrival of enemies — and allies — from Chucky’s past threatens to expose the truth behind the killings, as well as the demon doll’s untold origins.
How intense is Chucky?
Chucky is properly scary, with graphic gore and strong violence. Emotionally it carries some weight. The pace is brisk, and it is a full-attention watch and a late-night trip. The humor runs dark. Rated TV-MA.
