Austin Chronicle Marc Savlov
You know you're watching some sort of bizarre classic when King of Trash John Waters gets half his face burned off by sulfuric acid in the first act.
Read Full Review >Dallas Observer Luke Y. Thompson
It's all fairly brilliantly twisted, but it seems that series creator Don Mancini has utterly given up on scares -- there's only one decent shock toward the very end.
Read Full Review >Film Threat Chad Bixby
Recommended for the toothsome Jennifer Tilly, the manic Billy Boyd, some inventive deaths, some inspired gore, and one frankly hilarious scene involving Tilly and a decapitated corpse.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly Scott Brown
By far, the most shocking carnage is Tilly carving up her persona. What a doll.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Jack Mathews
Horror fans will be appalled by the frivolity of the beheadings, amputations and blunt-force trauma. But when Tilly, complaining about all the good roles going to Julia Roberts, says she could have played Erin Brockovich and done it without the Wonderbra, you know you're into something almost inspired.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Anita Gates
Most of the humor falls flat. One of the film's little joys is John Waters in a small part as a sleazy photographer who ends up having his face melted off with sulfuric acid.
Read Full Review >The Hollywood Reporter Richard James Havis
Does possess some eccentric moments of high camp humor. But other than that, this low-concept slasher/horror film suffers from creaky direction, a tatty story line, and -- even worse, considering the genre -- a lack of suspense and shocks.
Read Full Review >Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
Actually two movies, one wretched, the other funny. The funny one involves the Jennifer Tilly scenes.
Read Full Review >The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Leah McLaren
This movie is about the opposite of political correctness. It's about rooting for the bad guy and the black ending, and shouting at the screen whenever you feel like it. If you like that sort of thing, go see it. If you don't, then don't.
Read Full Review >The Onion (A.V. Club) Nathan Rabin
Seed Of Chucky goes even further toward comedy over horror, but the Chucky-as-comic-antihero gag has grown stale.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Ben Kenigsberg
The film mostly shoots blanks; it's less than the sum of its in-jokes.
Read Full Review >Variety Joe Leydon
Simply isn't funny or frightening enough to expand its appeal beyond core fan base.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Ken Fox
In the end it's simply another Chucky movie -- whether that's a recommendation or a warning is entirely up to you.
Read Full Review >Empire Kim Newman
As horror, it's a worn-out succession of gory, meaningless, hard-to-enjoy deaths, and too much of the running time is given over to puppets arguing with each other.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle Carla Meyer
Were there an award for most bizarre and dispiriting comedy-horror hybrid featuring killer dolls, the latest installment in the "Child's Play" series would have it locked up.

Taylor G. gave it a7:
The Chucky movies are probably my favorite horror/comedy movies of all time. This one wasn't the greatest out of all of them, but it was still pretty good.
Katie L. gave it a10:
This movie is hilarious. They picked the right voices for the characters. And Glen is the cutest little thing I've ever seen. It is awesome.
Brian G. gave it a0:
Complete and total garbage.
movie master gave it a0:
The movie sucked because chucky should not be a damn comedy it should be a horror. the old childs play movies kicked ass. and the seed just needed to die cause he was a waste of life, time space and move. so i give it a perfect zero. i hope they make one like the good old original ones.
John B gave it a1:
I am a huge Chucky fan. Despite all the bad reviews, I rented it and judged it for myself. It had no plot. It was not scary at all. Inshort; it was stupid. I could go on indefinately outlining it's faults. To say that it was a Childs Play installment would be an insult to the great previous installments. I would not even call it a "B" movie. Chucky jerking off was the only funny part of the entire film. The jerkoff who made it should be ashamed and defamed for butchering such a great series!!!
Victoria S. gave it a10:
That was the best movie i ever saw! It's hilarious and scary! It should be the best movie of the year!
wossname * gave it a2:
A zero mark would be harsh but, as Jennifer Tilly has some good lines, the film is better than unwatchable. The self-parody fails to entertain and most of the gross-out doll action has already been done, and done better, by Matt Stone and Trey Parker in Team America: World Police. The franchise should have finished at least 2 films ago and it is now time to put Chucky back in his box for good.
