10 Most Anticipated Upcoming Horror Movies

8. Cult Of Chucky

Release Date: 20 October

Everyone’s favourite killer doll returns in this seventh instalment of the Child’s Play franchise, which brings back Jennifer Tilly (Bride Of Chucky, Seed Of Chucky) as well as Alex Vincent (Child’s Play 1-3). Fiona Dourif (Curse Of Chucky) also returns, as does her father Brad, who has voiced Chucky in every movie since 1988.

At the Monsterpalooza convention in April, writer/director Don Mancini promised that Cult would be “definitely the goriest of all the movies”, which is no mean feat – Bride Of Chucky included such merry sights as a couple being slashed to ribbons by falling shards of glass and Tiffany giving birth in a cemetery.

The real question, however, is whether Mancini can get the franchise back on track after Cult Of Chucky’s lukewarm reception. We’ll find out this Halloween.
