Child's Play: Ranking The Films From Worst To Best

6. Seed Of Chucky (2004)

By the time Seed of Chucky arrived, the doll had long since lost his ability to strike fear in modern audiences. Six years earlier, Bride of Chucky had revitalized the franchise by poking fun at itself and the series' concept, its tongue firmly in cheek about parodying its own existence without going too far over the edge as to completely alienate fans.

While Bride took the series to the necessary edge of horror comedy in order to make the character relevant again, Seed careened over it, going too wild in its attempts to be funny and failing to back it up with effective scares as it tried to mine the interesting notion of a whole family of killer dolls. While Brad Dourif and Jennifer Tilly remained as on point as ever as Chucky and Tiffany, the film around them was a mess, with the character of Glen/Glenda doing no favors to the proceeding in the eyes of many.

Tonally, Seed failed to strike the same balance as its predecessor, often at odds with itself in what type of movie it wanted to be. And while it does have some supporters out there and the practical effects work is solid, it's too needlessly wacky and removed from its predecessors to work, easily leaving it as the series' nadir.
