The low budget is stepped around pretty effectively, with lots of first person shots from Chucky's perspective, building up to the inevitable reveal, where we properly see Chucky in all his glory, swearing and stabbing his way through the rest of the movie.
It's over the top, silly, violent, and the acting throughout is pretty hammy, but it all works pretty well.

Jim Carrey offers up his legendary goofy antics in this portrayal of the dark horse comics character, Stanley Ipkiss aka The Mask.
Filled with unforgettable scenes and quotes that are still used by everyday people, The Mask was a hit with audiences of all ages with the characters over the top green faced expressions and ridiculous costumes that followed.
Although not as dark as it's comic book material, the movie is an old gem that's still tickling those funny bones.

Female empowerment absolutely has a place in action cinema, a genre that is completely outbalanced in terms of gender roles, but the film as a whole zones in on it so much, that everything around it feels secondary, and as a result, the finished product is a drag.
Also, John Bosley is a villain now for reasons apparently, and I'm sad about it.

Listening to this consumed my free time and there are parts where it's legitimately scary. The main villain (The Man In The Pin-Striped Suit) is one of the scariest I've encountered.
I think it makes a great jumping off point for audio dramas and iy's worth an annual revisit.
I can't recommend this one enough.
