Is this really as bad as Seed!?

Don't get me wrong, this film was a weak installment. For some reason, the odd numbered installments tend to suck (Child's Play 3, Seed of Chucky, Cult of Chucky) but the even numbered ones are good (Child's Play 2, Bride of Chucky, Curse of Chucky) but seriously, is Cult really that bad? Now don't get me wrong, this was quite a downgrade from Curse and they did increase the comedy a bit, but I still think Seed is 10x worse than this one. Yeah, this one might be worse than Child's Play 3, but I don't think it's as bad as Seed. I saw and it thought it was okay. Curse was a lot better. I did like the beginning with Andy and Chucky. However, once they show the Chucky clones, it does go downhill from there and the ending is stupid. However I liked that Kyle returned, that was nice!

How was this a weak installment? It was one of the better ones.

It's a lot better than Seed, but it still has a lot of problems. I mean the Chucky clones makes it less scary and they didn't do a good job with Andy Barclay. I will say this though, at least Chucky was actually menacing and not a complete fucking joke, like he was in Seed. I'll take multiple Chuckies in Cult over masturbating Chucky from Seed, on any given day!

Yeah, Seed was immature garbage.

I agree they made a mistake with Andy. I hate how they made him try to kill Nica. Like why would he just want to shoot someone he's never met and doesn't know?

Seed, curse and this one are the bad ones imo. I just don't feel like they tried hard enough and seemed like low budget stupid types and they could do so much better. I did like Fiona Dourif, she made curse and cult enjoyable for me.

I agree with Seed, disagree with Curse, and somewhat agree with Cult.

Curse was better than both. Wanna know why? Chucky was actually a threat and was given a decent backstory to why he became the doll in the first place. Call Curse a bad movie all you want, but it's a good sequel. Now Cult, that was just a really mediocre sequel! I had high hopes for it, but what did we get? Gender bending body swapping, a watered down Andy Barclay, and for some reason, Chucky must've learned shadow clone jutsu from watching too much Naruto!

Yes it doesn't help that both Curse and Cult were direct to video. Blame Don Mancini for Seed, on that one. Just because something is released direct to video, doesn't mean its always garbage. Cult wasn't horrible, but very mediocre at best. I liked a few things about it, but it seems like they pulled a "Halloween 5" with Cult.
