‘Curse of Chucky’ has left its spell on audiences at the Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal. After making its North American debut at Fantasia on July 31, the horror thriller yesterday won the festival’s Audience Award for Best International Feature.
A Q&A with ‘Chucky’ creator-director Don Mancini, along with the sequel’s stars Fiona Dourif, Danielle Bisutti and Chantal Quesnelle followed the Fantasia screening. The Q&A session was moderated by Fangoria’s Tony Timpone. The premiere also featured an autograph signing, where fans brought Chucky dolls, posters and even a jacket to be autographed.
‘Curse of Chucky’ is set to be released on Blu-ray and DVD on October 8. Universal 1440 Entertainment, which will distribute the horror thriller, 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.
