Rides the line between the original Child's Play movies and the X of Chucky movies not just in timeframe, but also in tone. It doesn't always work in Child's Play 3's favour, but there is still some fun to be had with this entry. Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole.

Andy is all grown up and in the military at 16. Chucky is back trying to take a new little bits sole. He's even funnier in this one.
