The Child's Play franchise has been quietly chugging away for the past 30 years, but with later entries heading straight to home media and streaming, a lot of people have forgotten that Chucky is still around.

But hardcore fans of the series have clearly not forgotten, which is probably why we're still getting these movies. They haven't all been great, though; 2004's Seed Of Chucky sent the title character back to the toy store for the next nine years, but when he finally re-emerged in 2013's Curse Of Chucky, it was definitely worth the wait.

The sequel was a substantial improvement over its predecessor, in large part because it leaned more towards the horror than the shlocky comedy that had begun to infect the series. Curse smartly dialled things back here, focusing more on scares with a sprinkling of laughs, and cementing Chucky's position as an enduring horror icon.

To be fair, the movie only has 15 fresh reviews giving it that 83% score, but even with more critics weighing in, it would likely still be much higher than Seed's poor 32%.
