Curse of Chucky

Nica (Fiona Dourif) is grieving over the gruesome suicide of her mother when her domineering older sister Barb (Danielle Bisutti) arrives with her young family in tow to help settle their mother’s affairs. As the sisters butt heads over Nica’s plans for the future, Barb’s young daughter comforts herself with a grinning, red-haired talking doll named Chucky (voiced again by Brad Dourif) that recently arrived mysteriously in the mail. But as a string of brutal murders begins to terrorize the household, Nica suspects the doll may hold the key to the bloodshed. What she doesn’t know is that Chucky has a personal score to settle. He’s determined to finish a job he started more than 20 years earlier, and this time he’s going to see it through to the bloody and shocking end.

Black Butterflies

The film focuses on Allex, a grieving alcoholic who finds his life turned into a nightmare when a Stranger decides to “help” him in very unorthodox ways.

Child’s Play (remake)

In the original: When serial killer Charles Lee Ray is mortally wounded in a police shoot-out, he uses a voodoo spell to transfer his soul into Chucky, a “Good Guys” doll. Andy receives the doll as a birthday gift, and Chucky soon resumes his killing spree. However, Charles doesn’t want to be trapped in the body of a doll forever. His only escape would be to transfer into the first human he revealed his true identity to… which places Andy in mortal danger.

Blood Shot

A tough cop pursues a Terminator-like vampire (Michael Bailey Smith), constantly taking a beating. No one believes him. He’s completely on his own. Everyone thinks he’s crazy, and he knows he’s going to lose his job and his wife if he keeps this up. But he can’t stop. He has no idea the vampire actually works as a hitman for a top-secret government agency, sent to track down and kill terrorists. Meanwhile, an evil terrorist cell invades the U.S. bringing explosive midgets, a harem of beautiful women, a large eunuch, and a demon-genie. They’re going to blow up the city. Ultimately, the cop joins forces with the vampire in stopping the terrorist’s plan before it’s too late.

Born of Earth

Over centuries humans have been mysteriously disappearing with no explanations, just hushed whispers in the dark. On the surface Prophet Hills seems like a perfect place to live and raise a family, but Danny Kessler (Baldwin) has seen better days. This is one man’s journey to find the culprit of the ultimate sacrifice he’s endured. He must face his demons and go back to the place that has haunted him. He must convince family, friends and townspeople that something is not right in Prophet Hills. He must make them believe that something evil is living beneath their own backyards.

‘Child’s Play’ Family Featured In Rumored Spin-Off: ‘Revenge of Chucky’

 Childs Play Family Featured In Rumored Spin Off: Revenge of Chucky

Next to “Tales From the Crypt” and The Evil Dead trilogy, my favorite franchise growing up was easily the Don Mancini-created Child’s Play, Tom Holland’s 1988 horror film in which a petty thug possesses a “Good Guy” doll. I’d hate to see the story of Charles Lee Ray end with the comedy Seed of Chucky — I want nothing more than to see the devilish doll return to his sinister roots…

While rumors swirled of a reboot almost exact a year to this day, nothing has come into fruition. Nothing ever does, which is why the following should be taken with a grain of salt — although, it should be acknowledged that MGM – the franchise rights holder – has sorted their sh*t out, and has been moving on quite a few projects…

Our friends at Moviehole are reporting that there are reportedly two Child’s Play projects in the works: the aforementioned remake and a spin-off of sorts involving Chucky’s immediate family, Revenge of Chucky. The news came out of a reunion panel at The Mad Monster Party in Charlotte, North Carolina featuring stars Alex Vincent, Brad Dourif and Chris Sarandon.

Dourif, who is the definitive voice of ol’ Chuckster, confirmed that he’s involved in both projects but has not seen a script for the Child’s Play remake yet.

Don Mancini and David Kirschner have been planning to reboot the franchise for several years with Mancini both writing and directing. It is said that, if made, the remake will be a darker and scarier retelling of the original film, but one that will offer new twists and turns. READ MORE

The Wizard of Gore (remake) (V)

After being committed for 17 years, Michael Myers, now a grown man and still very dangerous, is mistakenly released from the mental institution (where he was committed as a 10 year old) and he immediately returns to Haddonfield, where he wants to find his baby sister, Laurie. Anyone who crosses his path is in mortal danger.

Zombie’s vision of this film is an entirely new take on the legend and will satisfy fans of the classic “Halloween” legacy while beginning a new chapter in the Michael Myers saga. “This is a bit of a prequel and a remake, combined,” says Zombie.
