Cult of Chucky director Don Mancini says the new installment in the long-running horror series was inspired by movies that make you question reality, including A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 and Inception.
2004’s Seed of Chucky went meta and Scream-like, then the series returned to its straightforward roots for 2013’s Curse of Chucky.
The murderous doll Chucky was first introduced in the straightforward and shockingly effective 1988 horror movie Child’s Play.
These are movies where, deliberately — and we had not done this before with a Chucky movie — you question reality.
