The Version of ‘Cult of Chucky’ on Netflix is NOT Unrated
Want to see the fully unrated cut? Don’t watch it on Netflix.
The release strategy for Don Mancini’s Cult of Chucky, the bonkers seventh installment in the Child’s Play franchise, sure is an interesting one. Not only is the film already set to play on AMC later this month, but it’s just been made available for instant streaming on Netflix… same day as the DVD/Blu-ray!
But be forewarned: the version of Cult of Chucky streaming on Netflix is the RATED cut, which looks to be about a minute shorter than the Unrated cut.
Furthermore, the Netflix version DOES NOT have the awesome post-credits scene.
My advice? Watch Cult of Chucky through a traditional VOD outlet or purchase the DVD/Blu-ray. Not only will you be able to enjoy the fully Unrated cut (with the post-credits tease), but you’ll also be putting more money in Chucky’s pockets and helping ensure that Mancini gets to continue the franchise on his own terms.
Oh and the physical copy includes deleted scenes, featurettes, commentary and a mini doc about the franchise’s family ties that’s guaranteed to warm your heart!
After scaring up a strong theatrical run, Oddity director Damian McCarthy’s Hokum heads home to Digital this week.
Settle in for a spooky supernatural chiller as Hokum arrives on all Digital platforms to rent or own beginning June 2, followed by a Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD Combo and DVD release on August 11, 2026.
Adam Scott (“Severance”) stars in Hokum as reclusive novelist Ohm Bauman. When he retreats to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, the staff’s tales of an ancient witch haunting the honeymoon suite take hold of his mind. Disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance draw Ohm into a nightmarish confrontation with the darkest corners of his past.
Peter Coonan (“The Alienist: Angel of Darkness”), David Wilmot (“Station Eleven”), Florence Ordesh (“Departure”), Michael Patric (“Frontier”), Will O’Connell (“Game of Thrones”), Brendan Conroy (“Bodkin”), and Austin Amelio (“The Walking Dead”) also star.
Get a peek at the upcoming physical media release below, including a few special features.
Spooky Pictures’ Roy Lee (Weapons) & Steven Schneider (Insidious) produce alongside Image Nation’s Derek Dauchy (Late Night with the Devil), Tailored Film’s Ruth Treacy, Julianne Forde, & Mairtín de Barra, and Cweature Features’ Ken Kao & Josh Rosenbaum.
I wrote in my review for Bloody Disgusting, “A quaint Irish hotel with a deeply haunted history awaits an American writer in McCarthy’s third outing, continuing his streak for folkloric tales of supernatural karma and spine-tingling terror with a dark sense of humor.”
What’s next from Damian McCarthy? He’s currently writing a haunted house movie, but recent comments suggest he may be moving into other genres beyond that upcoming project.
