Whatever the
reason was for making this movie, the end result was just dreadful. Child’s
Play 3 feels like “Chucky Goes to Army Camp.” The movie is a drag, relying
on the general stereotypes of what TV tells us military schools are like. The
CGI was a step up from the previous film, but other than that, the movie was a
step down. This was the time the studio wanted to milk the franchise and any movie
plot goes.
Everything about
this movie screams, “Stop watching!” The characters aren’t engaging, and
there’s a forced love interest for a much older Andy. For me, this is the worst
movie in the franchise, and it wasn’t worth the time spent seeing what it had
to offer.
Written again by
Don Mancini, the film follows the events of what happened to Chucky at the end
of the second movie. This is the third installment in the Child’s Play franchise,
with Andy now sixteen and enrolled in military school. Andy’s life hasn’t been
the same since the Chucky incidents, and his struggles to return to normalcy
are what landed him in military school.
The company that
made the Good Guys dolls has also had a rough eight years. The bad publicity
from Chucky’s murders forced them to close shop for a while. Now that Chucky
was stopped, they decided to relaunch the Good Guy doll line. They restored the
old factory—where Chucky’s dismembered body still remains—and packed up the old
dolls to be melted down and remodeled into new ones. Chucky’s body was among
them.
Chucky’s blood
was added to the mix, and the doll made from that batch contained his soul. The
first new Good Guy doll from the line was given to the company’s CEO. The doll,
now possessed by Chucky, kills the CEO and uses his computer to locate Andy.
Once Chucky
knows where Andy is, he mails himself as a package to Andy’s military school.
However, a young boy named Tyler opens the package instead of delivering it.
Chucky decides Tyler is the perfect candidate for his soul transfer.
Andy soon
discovers Chucky’s presence, and the two are pitted against each other. Chucky
is after Tyler to transfer his soul, while Andy is determined to stop him.
There are better
things in life to do than sit down and watch this film again. If you can’t
remember what happened in it, consider yourself lucky.
