Curse of Chucky (2013)
Excellent filming, Solid lead, not much else.
I'm a long time Chucky fan and have of course seen every film.
From the start of the film I was instantly intrigued with the quality of picture, location, and setup. The introduction of the lead character Sarah was again rather unique and seemed to hold a very interesting story in herself, beautiful wheel chair bound woman looking for love. Where you would assume the story would some how involve this concept and build upon it falls short and nothing develops; OK, no loss, this is Chucky right, he is the star. Then again where Chucky had always brought me back for more with his sly and raunchy humour there was very little of this. Maybe a snicker once or twice but I wanted more.
Without any spoilers overall there was one good death scene and a couple OK ones. I didn't get that "wow" factor I was expecting, perhaps I was expecting to much. Solid attempt but missing the true soul of Chucky in my opinion.
Nine Miles Down (2009)
At times I thought the film may redeem itself...
This film could have had potential however the story lacked any depth and scenes were very diluted with long, unnecessary, and repetitive craziness. I use the term craziness since I cannot find a better way to describe such strange and pointless parts in this film.
It's as if the director himself was trying to recreate some twisted concept that popped into his mind however when put into action this did not materialize.
The film started well while unfortunately and continually progressing very predictably and lacked any positive progression. I might add the female character was rather intriguing; the second unfortunate part was they showed more ass of the guy then anything else which leads me to believe the director must be a homosexual.
At times I thought the film may redeem itself when again and again it kept letting me down and just continued to get worse until I got to the point when I couldn't wait for it to just end since I already wasted so much of my time trying to get into it.
Possibly worth a watch if you really have nothing else to watch. Don't expect anything great other then a 5 second creative skeleton demon scene and a sexy blonde in nothing but a chefs apron; I know for many of you me simply stating this will lead you to view this piece as soon as possible.
