Seed of Chucky (2004)

Tagline: Fear the second coming.

The killer doll is back! Glen, the orphan doll offspring of the irrepressible devilish-doll-come-to-life Chucky and his equally twisted bride Tiffany. When production starts on a movie detailing the urban legend of his parents’ lethal exploits, Glen heads for Hollywood where he brings his bloodthirsty parents back from the dead.

The family dynamics are far from perfect as Chucky and Tiffany go Hollywood and get rolling on a new spree of murderous mayhem; much to gentle Glen’s horror. Chucky can’t believe that his child doesn’t want to walk in his murdering footsteps, and star-struck Tiffany can’t believe that the movie will star her favorite actress, Jennifer Tilly, who soon becomes an unwitting hostess to this new family in more ways than one…

Seed of Chucky is a 2004 American supernatural comedy slasher film, the fifth installment of the Child’s Play series, and sequel to 1998’s Bride of Chucky. The film was written and directed by Don Mancini, who created the series and has written all of the films. With this entry, Mancini made his directorial debut. The film is set six years after Child’s Play 3 and Bride of Chucky and follows a young doll named Glen, the son of Chucky and Tiffany, resurrecting his parents, causing chaos.

The film was followed by another sequel, Curse of Chucky, released on home video and Netflix in 2013.

About the Production

When production starts on a movie detailing the urban legend of his parents’ lethal exploits, Glen heads for Hollywood where he brings his bloodthirsty parents back from the dead. The family dynamics are far from perfect as Chucky and Tiffany go Hollywood and get rolling on a new spree of murderous mayhem. Chucky can’t believe that his child doesn’t want to walk in his murdering footsteps, and star-struck Tiffany can’t believe that the movie will star her favorite actress, Jennifer Tilly (playing herself), who soon becomes an unwitting hostess to this new family in more ways than one…

Costarring are hip-hop superstar Redman (playing himself), as a rapper-turned-director casting a Bible epic which Jennifer is determined to headline; U.K. actress/singer Hannah Spearritt as Joan, the gracious but put-upon personal assistant/confidante to Jennifer who finds out firsthand how crazy the movie business can really get; and notorious filmmaker John Waters, as sleazy tabloid paparazzo Pete Peters.
