Description of Chucky - The Killer DVD Collection:
The most unlikely horror-movie icon this side of Leprechaun, the homicidal doll Chucky has blossomed into one of the most recognizable faces of fright fare over the last two decades, and this double-disc set chronicles four of his most monstrous misadventures. The original--and still quite creepy--Child's Play feature (from 1988) is not included in the set (that title is owned by MGM, and this set is a Universal release), so the Killer DVD Collection kicks off with the more formulaic Child's Play 2 (1990) and 3 ('91, directed by Lost producer/director Jack Bender), both of which are saved only by veteran character actor Brad Dourif as the voice of Chucky. The series received a much-needed shot in the arm in 1998 with Bride of Chucky, an over-the-top revamp that dispensed with the tired horror-movie mechanics and dove headfirst into a gleeful mix of camp and gore; much of the credit for that film's success must go to Hong Kong director Ronny Yu (Bride with White Hair), who imparts much visual flair to the proceedings and Jennifer Tilly as an amoral moll whose attempt to free the killer that possesses Chucky results in another monster doll on the loose. The fifth (and to date, final) Child's Play/Chucky feature, Seed of Chucky, rounds out the set; it strives for the humor-horror quotient of Yu's film, and yields mixed results.
No extras are featured on the first two sequels, but both Bride and Seed offer up commentaries and featurettes for the devoted Chucky fans. Bride gets two commentaries--one with Yu, and the other with Dourif, Tilly, and scriptwriter Don Mancini, while Seed's commentary has Mancini (who was promoted to director) and Tilly. Making-of featurettes for both features are also included, as well as a clip of Tilly on The Tonight Show. None of these supplements will be new to the longtime Child's Play collector--all have been released on previous single and multi-disc sets--and buyers should know that they will find the R-rated versions of Bride and Seed here, and not the unrated versions (which have also been previously released). So it's fans looking to fill in the Chucky gap in their DVD libraries that will benefit the most from the Killer DVD Collection. --Paul Gaita
Chucky - The Killer DVD Collection Reviews:
Chucky Becomes an Icon of the 80's 
2009-11-02 - Starting from the first movie I have to say that it was ok and it became a hit because of the innovation with an evil doll plus the voice of the great Brad Dourif and very dark humor of it. Very 80's movie. The sequel was an improvement of effects and it was ok to see litle Andy evolved as a character. Part three I have to say it was very entertaining. Andy grown up and it's trying to open a way to keep going with his life without falling into madness as long Chucky it's behind all his bad fortune since he was a litle boy.
Bride of Chucky, sorry but it's one of my favourites, the humor, effects, Ronny Yu as a director, beautiful Katherine Heigl, Shocking and unique Jeniffer Tilly (She gets the whole attention)The most evil horror duet for movies, Loved it!
Seed of Chucky was a decepointment as the story lost credibility and it waste too much energy in bad humor, bad acting, bad storyline. Too ridiculous, get back evil Chucky on his feet as Wes Craven made with Freddy on New Nightmare! Long Live to 80's Movies!!!
Funny? Yea Sure...but Overall A Dissapointment

Chucky
2009-10-04 - Chucky movies started out as scary type more serious, but over the years they have become a clasic and funnier and I believe the director has plans for a few more and of course putting in the funny lines.
GOOD HORROR MOVIE 
2009-09-17 - I love these movies and they includes 4 movies! Great buy and you will not be dissapointed!
"A Killer Deal!!!"
2009-08-22 - This is an excellent boxset in that you get four of the Chucky films in one splendid DVD collection. The first Chucky film, the original "Child's Play", is not part of this set as it was made by a different studio. That film, however, is now available in its own new "20th Anniversary Collector's Edition" DVD and is packed with bonuses and for the first time it comes in widescreen. This set features all the follow-up Chucky films, presented in widescreen. Both "Child's Play 2" and "Child's Play 3" are short on bonuses, but "The Bride of Chucky" and "The Seed of Chucky" contain many extras including commentary and interviews. The biggest film in the set is "The Bride of Chucky" that hit #1 at the boxoffice and is widely regarded as the best Chucky film out there next to the original. Jennifer Tilly, who plays Chucky's girlfriend, steals the film with her voice and campy performance. The set is enclosed in a plastic sleeve and the discs are stored in a book that opens with a disc on each side. The dics are double layered so you have a movie on side A and one on side B. Every horror fan should have this killer collection. You also can't best the price. Chucky has never been packaged so good!
