Good one
Except for the reason for the hunt, this story and it's premise were entertaining. This one is definitely NOT for the kids. The acting was good and the effects/ action were really good. A lot of dark humor throughout it, too. Somewhat predictable but it played out well. Great movie for those of you into violence and a twisted storyline. Worth a watch!

"I read this at the same time as I discovered her music. It’s very shocking, full of sexual abuse, drug addiction, violence, and racism, and opened my eyes to a lot of things I hadn’t known about or understood. It made me realize where songs like Strange Fruit had come from. The rawness of those songs had their roots in a devastating history of life experience."

"Number two is Fireworks by Takeshi Kitano. I remember when I saw it, I love the way he marries in that movie… it’s emotional and impressionistic but it still has these amazing outbursts of violence. I can’t think of a single movie [like it] that goes from, in one instance, being very delicate and poetic, to being almost obscenely violent. I think he’s remarkable."

After hearing such mixed reviews, I went in with low expectations but was pleasantly surprised. I thought this reboot really did the original justice, bringing a self-awareness to the conceit that the franchise has always had.
Mark Hamill was great, Aubrey Plaza makes a pretty convincing mom, and Chucky's got jokes. What more did you really want?
