Chucky’s back!!!

Curse Of Chucky made its North American debut at the Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal, Quebec at a sold-out screening on July 31, 2013 with over 800 people in attendance. Following the screening, there was a Q&A with director Don Mancini, as well as the film’s stars Fiona Dourif, Danielle Bisutti, and Chantal Quesnelle. It was announced on Friday that the film won the festival’s Audience Award for Best International Feature.

This direct-to-DVD offering comes to DVD and Blu-ray October 8, 2013. Creator of the Child’s Play horror film franchise, Don Mancini, who wrote every film of the series so far, returns to write and direct this sixth installment, which is being released through Universal Studios Home Entertainment’s Universal 1440 Entertainment. Also coming on October 8 is the Blu-ray and DVD box set for Chucky: The Complete Collection, which contains all 6 Chucky films: Child’s Play, Child’s Play 2, Child’s Play 3, Bride of Chucky, Seed of Chucky, Curse Of Chucky.

In case you had not yet heard, they went ahead and made a sixth installment in the Child’s Play franchise, Curse of Chucky, which tells the tales of a child’s toy companion called a Good Guys doll that becomes possessed by a psychopathic killer known as Chucky.

A reboot of the franchise was in the works for a while, but those plans were put on hold and instead this movie was made. It will bypass a theatrical release and head straight for VOD services on September 24th, and Blu-ray and DVD on October 8th instead. But if you’re a fan of these movies, the most important ingredient, the voice of Brad Dourif as Chucky, is present and accounted for, so who knows! Dourif’s daughter, Fiona Dourif, is even getting involved in the franchise this time around, so it’ll be good ol’ family-friendly fun I’m sure! (Note: It would be super unwise to show your children this movie)
