Seed of Chucky is a 2004 black comedy slasher film. It is the fifth film in the Child's Play series, following Bride of Chucky. The film was written and directed by Don Mancini in his directorial debut, and stars Jennifer Tilly, Redman, Hannah Spearritt, John Waters, Billy Boyd and Brad Dourif. The film is set six years after Bride of Chucky and follows a young doll named Glen/Glenda, the child of Chucky and Tiffany, resurrecting their parents, causing chaos.
The film, shot in Romania, continues the series' evolution from the pure horror genre of the first three films to a hybrid horror-comedy.[5][6] It was the last Child's Play film from the original continuity to be released in theaters, with all future installments to be released direct-to-video until the 2019 remake. The film was followed by another sequel, Curse of Chucky, released in 2013.
Seed of Chucky grossed over $24 million against a $12 million budget. Like its predecessor, the film received mixed reviews from critics.
