A new generation of terror will be released when ‘Curse of Chucky,’ the latest installment of the ‘Child’s Play’ franchise, is released exclusively on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital. Universal 1440 Entertainment will released the action horror thriller on home video on October 8. The film will also be released digitally on September 24.
‘Curse of Chucky’ reunites franchise creators Don Mancini and David Kirschnez, as the title character returns to horrify viewers in an all-new, unrated chapter of the ‘Child’s Play’ saga. “It has been a quarter of a century since fans were first petrified by Toyland’s most lethal serial killer in “Child’s Play,'” said Glenn Ross, General Manager and Executive Vice President, Universal 1440 Entertainment. “Now, twenty-five years later, the deadly legacy continues as Chucky resumes his disturbing reign of terror, delivering more of the blood-curdling scares and bone-chilling twists that have cemented his place as one of the world’s most legendary horror film icons.”
Universal 1440 Entertainment has released the following synopsis for ‘Curse of Chucky’:
He’s back! From the filmmakers that brought you Chucky comes the terrifying return of the pint-sized doll possessed by the spirit of a notorious serial killer. When a mysterious package arrives at the house of Nica (Fiona Dourif, ‘True Blood’), she doesn’t give it much thought. However, after her mother’s mysterious death, Nica begins to suspect that the talking, red-haired doll her visiting niece has been playing with may be the key to the ensuing bloodshed and chaos. The return of America’s favorite toy, voiced again by Brad Dourif, is unrated and full of more blood-splattered thrills and chills.
Besides being released on Blu-ray and DVD, ‘Curse of Chucky’ will also be released on a Blu-Ray Combo Pack, which includes the Blu-ray, DVD and digital download.
