    Guide Review - "Seed of Chucky" DVD Review

    Chucky (once again voiced by Brad Dourif) returns in all his homicidal glory in the latest film about the killer doll and his equally lethal bride, Tiffany (voiced by Jennifer Tilly). Joining the fun this time around is a new addition to the homicidal family, Glen (or is it Glenda?), voiced by Billy Boyd, one of the stars of "Lord of the Rings."

    Glen/Glenda's unhappy with his life as a ventriloquist's dummy and decides to head off to Hollywood to track down his infamous parents.

    After Glen/Glenda brings Chucky and Tiffany back from the dead, the couple craft a plan to transfer their spirits into Redman and Tilly after artificially inseminating Tilly so that Glen/Glenda will also have a body to inhabit.

    Jennifer Tilly steals the show, filling dual roles as the voice of Tiffany and as Jennifer Tilly the actress who is trying to get the role of the Virgin Mary in a movie directed by Redman. John Waters also makes quite an impact in his cameo appearance as a paparazzi.

    "Seed of Chucky" is heavy on the comedy - even more so than the other films of the franchise. While there's not much in the way of horror, "Seed of Chucky" doesn't skimp on the guts and gore angle, and has enough gruesome scenes that fans of the franchise may be able to get over the fact there's really nothing scary in this fifth film of the Chucky series.
