Chucky: The Complete Collection

One of the greatest, woefully underrated and reprehensibly discarded horror franchises of all time, the Child's Play series has finally received it's rightfully deserved recognition from it's godfather studio (Universal) and the original studio that had begotten and disowned it (MGM). As most of you may not be aware, this has the potential of a limited edition (as stated on the packaging) due to MGM owning the rights to the original Child's Play and Universal owning it's sequels, therefore connoting that a deal has been struck between the studios. Alas, I'll contend that the studios deal will not be a long one, especially if the boxset does not prove to be lucrative, or they simply place this exquisite franchise back into the attic as if it was an ignominious, deformed child.Certainly, I could elucidate redundantly on my vehement passion for the Child's Play films and scrutinize every morsel of each film. However, I will deduce that you are not looking at this boxset and reading reviews for a lucid description of the films and all they entail. Instead, you're curiosity lies in whether the purchase of this item is relevant and worthwhile under the criteria that the Blu-ray transfers are top quality and that the price tag is justified. So I will not superfluously detail the films themselves, as I'm certain you already comprehend the magnitude of awesome that Chucky has brought to horror and the art of film in general. Instead, I will explain whether this boxset is worthy of Chucky's namesake. I mean not to be pretentious in that last statement but I've watched aghast as the Child's Play franchise has languished for years searching for the credibility it humbly deserves and instead gets ignored if favor of repugnant trash like Paranormal Activity and other puerile films that atrophy the horror genre.Enough of the overzealous rhetoric from me, to review this I will state a little of my experience with these films. Child's Play was the first horror film I ever saw, at the primordial age of 4 at a daycare of the time, and the ardent passion it placed in me has drawn a lifelong obsession and addiction to horror films of all types and it has been a bucket list mission of mine to see every horror film ever made. So my experience in horror as a whole is, not to be pedantic, extremely well-versed. Now I have purchased, owned and viewed this franchise on 3 different formats (having previously possessed films 1-5 on VHS, DVD and now Blu-ray). So to my credibility I can say without ambivalence that these Blu-ray transfers are the best the films have ever sounded and been viewed, even the film I worried would be an upscaled DVD, Child's Play 3, which is castigated even by fans of this series and disregarded erroneously. And although the special features of Child's Play 2 and 3 are mere theatrical trailers. 1, 4, 5 and 6 have them aplenty to keep the lot of us Chucky fans satisfied.My apologies for this excessive review of rhetoric, it's uncommon I do altruistic activities like reviews, but it is culpable that the Child's Play films have been disowned and renounced as just that, child's play. Perhaps these avid horror/film fans and purists condemn what they can't interpret or are simply too inane and incompetent to fathom grandiose work, being oversimplified by lesser films of trivial pettiness.In conclusion, I highly recommend this collection to all Child's Play and horror fans alike. Here's to the future exaltation of the impeccable grandeur of Child's Play and the struggle to dispose of those old DVDs.

I grew up with the Child's Play franchise. The first and second will always be classics to me. They along with Child's Play 3 are the best out of all 6 movies. For anyone that loves horror, gore, and dark humor needs to watch these movies. The only one that can really be bypassed is Seed of Chucky. I honestly was like "WTF" through the whole movie. It was weird, confusing, and didn't make a lot of sense to me. Bride of Chucky wasn't that bad but the first three will always be my top favorites as I said out of all 6. Curse of Chucky also wasn't too bad. The only downside is that he didn't have his "human" traits added to him where he bleeds when someone injures him.In concerns to the blood factor for Chucky himself... there really isn't any. He doesn't talk as Charles Lee Ray as much or act I guess as "Classic" Chucky would. The storyline for it makes sense unlike that of Seed. One, Two, and Three all connected with each other in a proper storyline. If you compare the Child's Play series with say the Halloween series, there's more of a solid storyline in the Child's Play one than in Halloween. It doesn't get horribly off track; just with Seed it got very weird.I would say, if you want to see these movies, buy Child's Play 1, 2, 3, Bride, and Curse. Don't bother with Seed. But if you want to be more of a collector; as I am of horror films, this box set is absolutely perfect for that purpose since it has all 6 movies in one box along with hours upon hours of extra features. I bought this set because the first set I bought did NOT have the first Child's Play movie which made zero sense to me. It had been released before Curse came out so it didn't bother me that wasn't with it. But this one has all six so now I can replace the other one with this set.

I saw this advertised a while ago, i didn't think much of it (since being in Australia, we're not exactly privy to what America gets) but i found out it all regions, so i snatched it up quick smart and haven't looked back. I've been a big fan of Chucky ever since i was born (1-5 is considered canon) while 6 is for the new fans (it's ok but if you already knew why he ran, it's hardly worth watching).After watching all the movies (apart from 6, which looked too good for Blu-Ray) i can say that it's the best they're gonna look for a long time and it's gonna be a long time, maybe even longer before Australia is even considering a box set, even then, maybe for DVD. Australia gets a 1.33:1 transfer for Bride of Chucky, not clean, reel change markings, a not so good stereo track and one 2 minute behind the scenes, while the Blu-Ray in this box set gets a 1.85:1 transfer, super clean, sharp and vibrant while the DTS Master Audio 5.1 leaves the DVD for dead with the track being utilized properly with the surrounds and bass with the extras, 2 commentary tracks and a 10 minute behind the scenes featurette.the only bad part of this set is that Seed Of Chucky has only the Unrated Cut of the movie, no Seamless Branching for the Theatrical Version which is a bit of a shame and while part 2 and 3 may only have DTS Master Audio 2.0, they serve the films well enough. If you're from Australia, love Chucky and can't wait till Australia thinks of this set up, buy this IMMEDIATELY, you'll not be disappointed.
