There’s Way More Gore in the ‘Cult of Chucky’ Red Band Trailer

Published

on

We kicked off the morning with the long-awaited reveal of the trailer for Don Mancini’s Cult of Chucky, which you might have noticed was relatively blood-less. But have no fear, because the Red Band trailer has just arrived!

This trailer runs a bit longer than the one you saw this morning, and it’s home to some gory bits that make good on Mancini’s recent promise: this is truly going to be Chucky’s bloodiest outing to date.

In the Red Band trailer, Chucky breast feeds, cuts off a head, flips the bird, and holy shit… did he just stick his hand through the back of someone’s head and out their mouth?!?

Be sure to watch the whole thing. The goriest moment is at the very end!

Cult of Chucky will be available October 3 on unrated Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital!

Brad Dourif once again provides Chucky’s voice, while his daughter, Fiona, will be reprising her Curse role. Also returning are Summer H. Howell (Curse of Chucky), Jennifer Tilly (who became the popular female doll, Tiffany, in Bride of Chucky before transferred her soul into the body of actress Jennifer Tilly in Seed of Chucky) and Alex Vincent, star of the first two Child’s Play films who returned in a shocking post-credits sequence in Curse. The film ended as if Mancini planned to tie the previous three films – Bride of Chucky, Seed of Chucky and Curse of Chucky – together in this seventh film.

In the film, “Confined to an asylum for the criminally insane for the past four years, Nica Pierce (Fiona Dourif) is erroneously convinced that she, not Chucky, murdered her entire family. But when her psychiatrist introduces a new therapeutic “tool” to facilitate his patients’ group sessions — an all-too-familiar “Good Guy” doll with an innocently smiling face — a string of grisly deaths begins to plague the asylum, and Nica starts to wonder if maybe she isn’t crazy after all. Andy Barclay (Alex Vincent), Chucky’s now-grown-up nemesis from the original Child’s Play, races to Nica’s aid. But to save her he’ll have to get past Tiffany (Oscar-nominee Jennifer Tilly), Chucky’s long-ago bride, who will do anything, no matter how deadly or depraved, to help her beloved devil doll.

The Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital releases include two featurettes: a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film, called Inside the Insanity of Chucky, and a peek into Alterian, the studio behind Chucky’s puppeteering, called Good Guy Gone Bad: The Incarnations of Chucky. The movie also comes with a commentary featuring writer-director Mancini and head puppeteer Tony Gardner.

In addition to the individual release, Cult of Chucky will be part of the Chucky: Complete 7-Movie Collection, also releasing Oct. 3.
