Chicago ReaderJ.R. Jones
Rudely funny splatter comedy. Read full review

Austin ChronicleMarc 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

Film ThreatChad 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

Dallas ObserverLuke 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

Entertainment WeeklyScott Brown
By far, the most shocking carnage is Tilly carving up her persona. What a doll. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterRichard 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

New York Daily NewsJack 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.

The New York TimesAnita 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

Chicago Sun-TimesRoger 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

TV Guide MagazineKen 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

VarietyJoe Leydon
Simply isn't funny or frightening enough to expand its appeal beyond core fan base. Read full review

Chintzy-looking gore-bore. Read full review

The A.V. ClubNathan 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 VoiceBen Kenigsberg
The film mostly shoots blanks; it's less than the sum of its in-jokes. Read full review

EmpireKim 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 ChronicleCarla 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. Read full review
