Killer dolls slash their way through Hollywood, delivering broad laughs and darkly comic absurdity.
Absurdist, with big broad humor. A late-night trip at a brisk pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.
It stays inside its R, with a few tense moments and a jolt or two.
How we rate: an AI reads what is known about each title and tags it 0 to 3; we check the tags against a hand-rated set and correct them by hand when readers tell us. Estimates, not a scene-by-scene review. Spot a mistake? Tell us.
This time around, Chucky 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!
