I've only seen the original one once and that was 20 years ago. My cousin rented this, along with the original Nightmare On Elm Street and I saw that one as well, for the first time and that got me interested in seeing all the sequels. I remember watching all the Elm Street movies back to back. I've never seen Exorcist II, only saw it playing on TV once and it was at the scene where it was showing the locusts flying. It was pretty damn bad from what I've heard. I saw The Cinema Snob's review of it and it was as bad as it looked. Finally got around to seeing Exorcist III on Tubi last year and it was fucking awesome! Brad Dourif sells the role perfectly!
He's not only great as Chucky! Literally every movie he's been in, regardless of how big his role is; he's always great! I can't even think of one film he's in where he didn't give a shit. No matter how bad the film is (Seed of Chucky or Rob Zombie's Halloween II) he's always playing a fun character! I even loved his cameo in Urban Legend! I really need to see One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest, though! That was the role that made him famous and had it not been for that, he probably wouldn't gotten the role of Chucky and the Child's Play franchise wouldn't have been successful enough to spawn 6 sequels and a TV series! I gladly rank him, next to Robert Englund and Linda Blair, as a horror legend!
