Everyone's killer doll returns - and he's bringing the entire family!
"Behind the amateurish veneer of Chucky’s increasingly scarred face lies a weird, loving cacophony of queer motifs. No matter how much killing takes place, Seed of Chucky is ultimately a work of supreme affection." - Sam Bodrojan, Little White Lies: Truth & Movies
"Seed of Chucky truly earns its R rating with great enthusiasm and creativity!" - Associated Press
"More than a coherent narrative, the film is a riotous cavalcade of references to queer horror history played out through the story of Chucky and Tiffany coming to terms with plasticized parenthood. It begins by putting us in the perspective of the film’s central queer character." - Payton McCarty-Simas, Rue Morgue
Chucky (voiced as always by Brad Dourif) and his homicidal honey, Tiffany, are brought back to life by their orphan offspring Glen (or Glenda). Then, the horror goes Hollywood as Chucky unleashes his own brand of murderous mayhem! Featuring Academy Award nominee Jennifer Tilly (as herself and the voice of Tiffany) and hip-hop star Redman.
Part of Trans Narratives at FilmScene
In this month-long series, artists both behind and in front of the camera show diversity in what it means to be trans. These varied stories give a platform to a group of folks whose right to exist continues to be questioned by patriarchal power structures. At a time when we find ourselves in a heightened period of attempts to erase the very idea of trans-ness from our society—with particularly heinous and pernicious laws here in Iowa—we celebrate Pride Month with a survey of trans narratives across generations, locations, and aesthetics.
Plus a Something Weird short film!
Show up early for a pinball tournament right across the lobby at SpareMe Bowl & Arcade from 6:00 - 9:00 p.m. brought to you by Doll Distributing and FitzCo Pinball.
