Scott Brown, Entertainment Weekly
By far, the most shocking carnage is Tilly carving up her persona. What a doll.
-
Ben Kenigsberg, Village Voice
The film mostly shoots blanks; it's less than the sum of its in-jokes.
-
Anita Gates, New York Times
There is not a single scary moment in all of Seed of Chucky, so its laughs are welcome, though most of the humor falls flat.
-
Tim Brayton, Antagony & Ecstasy
There is one thing that cannot be denied or ignored or downplayed: Jennifer Tilly gives every inch of herself to this movie.
-
David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
Though saddled with as egregiously silly a feel as its immediate predecessor, Seed of Chucky nevertheless comes off as a somewhat superior sequel...
-
Rob Gonsalves, eFilmCritic.com
A gutbucket farce that works better as a lampoon of Hollywood than as a horror movie.
-
Johnny Butane, Dread Central
Seed of Chucky is still a great follow-up to Bride and a very cool horror/comedy on it's own.
-
Alex Keen, Trades
No one rents or buys a movie like this for its Oscar moments. This is a fun romp of a flick that's going to be fun with a group of friends and a keg.
-
Bill Clark, FromTheBalcony
At least it knows it's bad.
-
Matthew Turner, ViewLondon
Hit-and-miss comedy horror that is often extremely funny, thanks to a splattering of decent gags and an impressive comedy turn from Jennifer Tilly.
-
Rich Cline, Shadows on the Wall
It's not very good, but it's great fun.
-
Urban Cinefile Critics, Urban Cinefile
Easily the best of the five Chucky films, Seed Of Chucky serves up plenty with its sharp satirical edge and Tilly's sensational performance.
-
David Noh, Film Journal International
Writer-director Don Mancini can't resist turning it into the rankest genre piece.
-
Jake Euker, F5 (Wichita, KS)
Either very brave or very stupid for Jennifer Tilly; I was glad to have it end.
-
Pablo Villaca, Cinema em Cena
Não posso deixar de pensar que seria ótimo se Chuky fosse estéril.
-
Mark Palermo, Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia)
Seed of Chucky is so self-referential that despite some inspired madness, it's less a movie than a celebration of its own snarkiness.
-
Bret McCabe, Orlando Weekly
This 90-minute lobotomy scores a few giggles, but only enough to recommend it to friends you never want to speak to again.
-
Steve Newton, Georgia Straight
Although it does a bang-up job of showcasing Tilly's breasts and some over-the-top gore sequences, this ultracampy entry fails to produce much in the way of chills, thrills, or chuckles.
-
Marc Savlov, Austin Chronicle
Installment No. 5 in the once-moribund Child's Play franchise isn't quite the roller coaster from hell that the series' last outing was, but it's surely the most engaging, and, dare I say, emotionally honest.
-
Eric D. Snider, EricDSnider.com
The film is about as good as could be expected, considering it's the fifth installment and its premise is absurd.

Chucky: What's so great about being human? You get sick! You get old! As a doll, I'm infamous! I am Chucky! The killer doll!
"Fear The Second Coming"
Seed of Chucky is such a bad movie. What was once a good idea for a fun spoof is now devoid of anything cool or original. Sure, their still using the initial idea. Their spoofing the slasher genre by using killer dolls. There's tons of references to films like Psycho and The Shining; but the major film spoofed here is Glen & Glenda. Why you would want to spoof an Ed Wood movie is beyond me, but the result is Seed of Chucky, and that is not a good thing at all.
I liked the original, but by now the franchise had grown dull and lifeless. This film tries to be funny, and maybe it will get a few chuckles out of you. On the whole though, it is just a waste of time. The movie is obvious and seems like it was written by a fucked up twelve year old. You can feel how the director tried to pull a full length movie out of content that didn't deserve it. It comes in at a whopping 80 minutes, and even with such a short runtime; it feels stretched out and overlong.
Seed of Chucky is more annoying than it is clever. The initial idea for the original worked because of the cleverness of the character. What happens when you extend the life of any horror film character, is that the initial cleverness is lost and all of the characters traits become predictable norms. This movie isn't worth your time. You may have really liked the first couple and maybe you were able to bear "Bride", but this one just pushes the franchise off of a cliff.

I hated "Bride of Chucky," even though I was always a big fan of the 3 original films in the "Child's Play" series, so I wasn't expecting much of this one. But it surprised me and was actually pretty good...some funny parts and entertaining kills.

This I have to say that this is by far the worst entry of the series. It's purely a stupid film. Everything about this film suffers from almost everything that makes a bad Horror comedy. The jokes are stale, the acting is terrible, the directing is terrible, and it seems to me that the film makers tried too hard to make something funny, but ultimately failed. Seed Of Chucky is a perfect example of how not to make a Horror Comedy. I found myself frustrated after watching this film, because I wasted an hour and a half on it. This film makes other bad Horror Comedy films look good in comparison and is one of the worst Horror Comedies out there, do yourself a favour, skip this one. It's not even worth a rental, or a pirated download for that matter.

This is getting cheap. The first one was better.
-
Not as good as the last one, Bride of, getting very odd and running out of ideas now! A bit more gory than the last few, but otherwise I bit of a mess all round. The 1st and the 3rd were the best ones.
-
Chucky & co. This part of the Chucky trilogy was so much fun and alot of LOLs

What a bizarre film! It does have moments, some great moments, but the whole Jennifer Tilly playing herself thing is unforgivable, even if it was for 5 minutes but the whole film! It just went downhill, down the same seemingly inevitable path that all horror franchises seem to go.… More
What a bizarre film! It does have moments, some great moments, but the whole Jennifer Tilly playing herself thing is unforgivable, even if it was for 5 minutes but the whole film! It just went downhill, down the same seemingly inevitable path that all horror franchises seem to go. What?s next? A remake of the first film of course! Doh!

I am a big fan of Chucky, i have been a fan on him ever since i was 6 years old. When I first saw this movie was going to be made, i thought it would be terrible. This film can just go to show you how wrong thoughts can be. I heard Glen was going to be in it. I thought he was going to be stupid at first, but i was wrong again.
Chucky was only in this movie for 30 mins. But, that didn't worry me at all. The other characters were interesting as well. No bad characters. just about everything you could ask for. Don Mancini did a great job at directing this movie.
This film had everything you could ask for. Glen was a very lovable character. Tiffany came back into it again. And Of course, Chucky! It had great actors in it. Jeniffer Tilly really helped this movie along with this movie. She plays a great part. And Introducing Billy Boyd. He played a great character. And Brad Dourif returns as Chucky again! This film is definitely for the Chucky fans. If you are not a Chucky fan, then you should not watch this film under any circumstances. This movie also had hilarious bits in it. Such as Britney Spears getting rammed off a cliff. If you are a humungous Chucky fan like me, you will not be disappointed at all.

Continues to be heavier on humour and does well. Funny in places with some genuine side splitters. The killings are nothing new but the child of Chucky is used to good effect having the parents try and change their sadistic ways. A very dysfunctional family in a film with one of the most bizarre casts around. Jennifer Tilly plays herself, we also have rapper Redman, director John Waters, 2 cast members from Lord of the Rings and an ex member of S Club 7. All do well in this film that refuses to take itself seriously.
-
There was some funny parts, and some okay new killings. It's worth a watch, maybe two if your bored. But comparable to the rest of the series, this is the one that has probably finally killed this doll, for good.
-

This movie gets points for the scene with Jason Flemyng and the reference to Ed Wood's movie, but not much else about this was very well done. I hated Tiffany and Glen wasn't much better, but I like the way Chucky has become so happy in his little plastic body, but this movie is not very funny or scary.

Even though the sequels have been heading this way, I didn't expect "Seed of Chucky" to be a comedy! I also didn't expect it to be quite so good. Jennifer Tilly is excellent, as is the puppetry, and everyone did a fantastic job. There's loads of satire about Hollywood and horror buff in-jokes, plus all the obligatory cameos. It was the perfect end to the "Child's Play" series.

Messed up doll family! Chucky and Tiffany have a baby doll, but it gets taken away from them to the circus. Their kid is a freaky little Brit punk-haired Bowie-esque unstable dolly, who must find them. I had to laugh various times throughout the movie at the freakiness of the whole situation. The doll family get themselves in with the weird Hollywood crowd and cause some human suffering. The killings aren't very memorable, but the disembowelment of the guy under the glass table was okay. The story jumps from one impossibilty to another. I didn't care much whether the doll family got along to the end. But I got some laughs from some of the sick jokes in this forgettable film.

they just keep getting worse

this was great!
it wasnt scary but funny!
-
Seed of Chucky tries to accomplish the humor/horror genre again with mixed results.
-
'Seed of Chucky' is the campiest of the series and begins with a very frightening opener, only to be revealed as a dream sequence. The film then goes from campy, to strange, to downright wrong!
-
Yuck...Oh my god...wow was this bad. You'll be hard-pressed to find someone more forgiving of the Slasher sub-genre than me, so when I tell you that Seed of Chucky is not only one of the worst Horror movies I've seen but one of the worst movies of all time, you can take it… More
Yuck...Oh my god...wow was this bad. You'll be hard-pressed to find someone more forgiving of the Slasher sub-genre than me, so when I tell you that Seed of Chucky is not only one of the worst Horror movies I've seen but one of the worst movies of all time, you can take it to the bank. Chucky and his on-again off-again girlfriend (also a killer doll) have spawned a son...er...daughter...no, definitely son...I think...called Glen...or maybe Glenda. The movie is not only bad (and unfunny) it's uncomfortable to watch as the odd duo try to raise their offspring and form their own twisted loving serial killer family. The movie tries to be campy and humorous like its predecessor but fails. It is awfully bad and not worth anyone's time. Do Not See This Movie!
SERIES OVERVIEW: Despite it's dreadful conclusion (I'm sure if anything a remake will happen next) the Child's Play franchise has been an underrated one in the Slasher film cannon. The first three are standard slice and dice fair with a killer doll twist and the final two take a more campy and humorous approach. This makes Child's Play one of the more original and rewarding Slasher franchises ever made.

Crude, funny, bloody, and humorous. Not the best entry of the series, but still a fun and hilarious little movie.
