Living with Chucky

Chucky aficionados might appreciate the reverence, but the analysis rarely rises above promotional level.

Feels like hagiographic DVD featurettes meanderingly stitched together.

It’s not just a thoughtful documentary that reflects upon the franchise’s legacy&#59; it celebrates the families that the killer doll has forged and bonded together.

Fascinating documentary that goes behind the scenes of one of horror's most famous franchises. What makes this so unique is that it wasn't put together by a fan but instead by someone on the 'inside'.

While it is nice to see everyone had such a good time making these movies, this is little more than an extended DVD featurette with no real context from fans and horror experts on why these films have endured or unique from other franchises.

By and large, Living with Chucky is less a documentary as it is a scrapbook.

As the new documentary Living with Chucky demonstrates, the Child’s Play movies have also been a labour of love for a tight-knit cast and crew who have attempted to move with the times.

A beautiful love letter, not just to the series, but also to all the people who work to bring it to life. It's filled with great stories about creating these horror classics and building a creepy doll loving horror family along the way.

Clearly, [Kyraa Elise] Gardner has her reasons for tackling this subject, and they’re so sweet that it doesn’t really matter that she doesn’t uncover much new ground in the process.

For fans of the snarky killer doll, Gardner has crafted a gleeful celebration of all things Chucky.
