![]() ![]() Nick Stabile plays Heigl’s forbidden teenage love interest, even though he’s definitely not a teenager. She doesn’t bog Bride of Chucky down, but also doesn’t really elevate it like Tilly does. ![]() Katherine Heigl plays one of the leads here in one of her first projects. The rest of the cast can’t quite match Tilly, but they still do a decent job. The opening scene itself is ten times better than the actual film. The lighting and cinematography they chose for it are also very fitting. Sure, it’s pretty on the nose, but it works for the type of film this is. Rob Zombie’s “Living Dead Girl” plays during the opening, and I don’t think they could have picked a more fitting song. ![]() The opening sequence is my second favorite thing Bride of Chucky offers up - it’s gleefully campy and really opens with a bang. She dons a slick, gothic look complete with leather and black high heels. Her voice just perfectly matches the character. The hair/makeup and costume department gave her character a boost, as well. Tilly’s voice is another asset of hers that is used quite well here. Tilly was meant to play a role like this - she has a slick, understated attitude and demeanor that she brings to this that really works and makes her character enticing. She does a great job playing Chucky’s lover, Tiffany, who is just as insane as he is. I have to touch on Jennifer Tilly first, because wow does she give her all to this twisted role. Still, this is by no means something you absolutely must see if you haven’t already. There are things to enjoy here, and luckily a talented cast is attached to help anchor things. This film isn’t great, but it’s also not nearly as bad as its sequel. I think Bride of Chucky, this 1998 installment in the demonic doll film series rests comfortably in the middle of the best and the worst. To me, this franchise is pretty hit and miss. I like 1988’s Child’s Play just fine, but I cannot stand the abysmal Seed of Chucky. I wouldn’t consider myself a big Chucky fan. Listen to the latest episode of the AIPT Movies Podcast! ![]()
