Thursday Movie Picks: Halloween Edition: Dolls


It's Thursday aka Thursday Movie Picks time. If you still don't know what it is, go over at Wandering Through the Shelves and find out. And while you are at it, check out what the others have picked for this week's theme, dolls.

Although I wanted to do something different at first, I ended up picking three movies starring Chucky, the murderdoll. Here they are

Child's Play (1988)
A serial killer transfers his soul into Chucky, a doll that a single mother gives to her son Andy, clueless of it being possessed. And soon the doll starts killing people. Okay, the story is pretty lame, but it's quite enjoyable, and the atmosphere is so creepy it'll keep you on the edge of your seat.

Bride of Chucky (1998)
Chucky is brought back to life by his old-time sweetheart, he then kills her and brings her back in the body of a doll so they can go kill people together. Yes, another pretty lame story. Probably even worse than the first one, but the great thing about this film is that it doesn't take itself seriously. It's not a scary film but it's fun. 

Curse of Chucky (2013)
After the death of her mother, Nica has to deal with her annoying sister, her brother-in-law and her niece. But Chucky is in the house and family will be the least of her problems. This one was surprisingly good. There's suspense, gore, an interesting camera work and a pretty good performance from Fiona Dourif (Nica).
