What happens

Child's Play 3 is a 1991 American supernatural slasher film written by Don Mancini and directed by Jack Bender. Brad Dourif reprises his role as Chucky while new cast members include Justin Whalin, Perrey Reeves, and Jeremy Sylvers. It serves as a sequel to Child's Play 2 (1990) and the third mainline installment in the Child's Play franchise. It was executive-produced by David Kirschner, who produced the first two Child's Play films. Although released only nine months after Child's Play 2, the story takes place eight years following the events of that film, and one month before the events of Bride of Chucky (which was made seven years later). The film follows Andy Barclay (Whalin) now 16, enrolling at Kent Military School. Andy is unknowingly followed by a revived Chucky (Dourif), who sets his sight on a younger kid cadet Ronald Tyler (Sylvers). Released on August 30, 1991, in the United States by Universal Pictures, Child's Play 3 received generally negative reviews from critics and grossed $20.5 million worldwide against a budget of $13 million, being the lowest-grossing film in the series. The film became notorious in the United Kingdom when it was suggested it might have inspired the real-life murder of a British child, James Bulger, suggestions rejected by officers investigating the case.
