Bride of Chucky

Director: Ronny Yu, Ronny Yu

1998 / 100min / DCP

Having directed one of the undisputed all-timers of the ’90s wuxia revival with his 1993 The Bride with White Hair, Yu—years ago a graduate of Ohio University’s film program—headed back to the States, to be handed the keys to the foundering Child’s Play franchise, which he promptly rejuvenated with Grand Guignol humor, cinematic brio, and a whole lotta butthead nü metal on the soundtrack. Chucky and gal pal Jennifer Tilly hit the road together as a bizarro Bonnie and Clyde, leaving a trail of carnage and belly laughs in their wake. Pedal to the metal and tongue firmly in cheek, this is one wild ride.
