What happens

Curse of Chucky is a 2013 American supernatural slasher film written and directed by Don Mancini, who created the franchise and wrote every previous entry. It is the sixth, and the first direct-to-video, mainline installment of the Child's Play franchise. The film stars Fiona Dourif, Danielle Bisutti, Brennan Elliott, Maitland McConnell, Chantal Quesnelle, Summer H. Howell, with A Martinez, and Brad Dourif as the voice of Chucky. Curse of Chucky sees a return to the franchise's source material, bringing back the straightforward horror elements found in the first Child's Play film. In the United States, it premiered via VOD on September 24, 2013, followed by a DVD and Blu-ray Disc release on October 8, 2013. It received generally positive reviews from critics and was also turned into a scare zone for 2013's annual Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood. Though Curse of Chucky was made with a direct-to-video release in mind, it was also seen theatrically in several countries, like Brazil. The film was followed by Cult of Chucky in 2017.
