History YMMV / CultOfChucky

** In the Japanese dub, Creator/ChieNakamura's role as Nica is pretty hilarious as she voiced [[spoiler:Mia Fey/Chihiro Ayasato]] in the animated adaptation of ''Anime/AceAttorney'', since [[spoiler:she has the ability of possess the body of her younger sister Maya/Mayoi after she was murdered earlier in either the games and the anime]]. In this film, [[spoiler:''she'' is the one who gets possessed instead]].

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Though listed under CatharsisFactor, there is a really serious undertone to Andy's questionable sanity. While the small armory and isolationism is a reasonable response for one's safety from an immortal serial killer after you; it's another oddity to keep that same serial killer's head with you as company despite torturing it. Is Andy going off the deep end with the resurgence of Chucky? Or is he taking the steps necessary to keep himself (and by extension) the world safe from Chucky? Or both?

** Except in ''Film/BrideOfChucky'', Tiffany used a ''Voodoo for Dummies'' book to bring Chucky back, so might actually be a ContuityNod instead of an AssPull.

** Also from the same dub, Creator/ChieNakamura's role as Nica is pretty hilarious as she voiced [[spoiler:Mia Fey/Chihiro Ayasato]] in the animated adaptation of ''Anime/AceAttorney'', since [[spoiler:she has the ability of possess the body of her younger sister Maya/Mayoi after she was murdered earlier in either the games and the anime]]. In this film, [[spoiler:''she'' is the one who gets possessed instead]].

* PoorMansSubstitute: It seems Joseph LoDuca was trying to emulate Music/DannyElfman in his score except in a minimalist low-budget synth-dominated fashion.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Malcolm and Nica [[CoitusEnsues have sex just after meeting]], and the scene is never made reference to again. They don't even show anymore romantic interest in each other afterwards and Malcolm is later killed by Chucky.

* EvenBetterSequel: To ''Film/{{Curse|Of Chucky}}'', due to a more interesting and creative plotline, better performances from the cast, making Chucky's kills more sympathetic (except [[spoiler:Dr. Foley]]) in comparison to past victims and having [[spoiler:Kyle from ''2'']] reappear, among other things.

** In the Japanese dub, Creator/BinShimada's role as Chucky comes as this since he previously voiced [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Juda]], a mass-murdering ''effeminate'' psycho. In this movie, he voices another psycho, without the effeminate [[{{Gonk}} part]].

* PoorMansSubstitute: It seems [[Franchise/EvilDead Joseph LoDuca]] was trying to emulate Music/DannyElfman in his score except in a minimalist low-budget synth-dominated fashion akin to that of [[Series/MastersOfHorror Mick Garris]]' ProductionPosse composer Nicholas Pike or Creator/FullMoonFeatures composer Richard Band or even Kevin Kiner's score to ''Film/{{Leprechaun}}''.

* FridgeHorror: [[spoiler:In the ending, Andy is out of weapons (with the gun he smuggled in a Chucky doll he killed being out of ammo) and locked in the insane asylum by one Chucky, who's successfully possessed Nica... with another Chucky doll still alive and present to do God knows what to Andy. Like, say, finally pulling off the GrandTheftMe Andy must have spent years fearing. To add to that, if Chucky did finally possess Andy, he could then easily target Andy's mom, Detective Mike, and Kyle to continue his revenge, with them none the wiser until it's too late. TheBadGuyWins ''indeed''. Hopefully Kyle, who is shown in TheStinger to be at Andy's cabin torturing the original Chucky head, will try to break him out.]]

* JerkassWoobie: Claire [[spoiler:in her final moments]], especially since her paranoia was out of her somewhat self-centered extremist care for safety of the inhabitants of Harrogate then just herself, [[spoiler:it's the same extreme care for her fellow inmates and hospital staff when she tried to reckless warn Foley that Chucky's alive and the real danger than Nica she initially and erroneously thought only to fall upon deaf ears that led to her demise]].

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Based on the synopsis, one would suspect Andy and Nica to meet pretty early in the film and possibly team up. [[spoiler:They don't meet until the end of the movie, ''after'' Chucky's possessed her.]]

** Nica's actress is the [[RealLifeRelative daughter]] of [[Creator/BradDourif Chucky's actor]], he was already a part of [[spoiler: her to begin with]].

* HilariousInHindsight: One of this film's plot points was accidentally predicted in WebVideo/{{Phelous}} and WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic's review of ''Film/ChildsPlay3''.
-->'''Critic:''' Oh no! It's the rise of the Chucky clone army!

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Though listed under CatharsisFactor, there is a really serious undertone to Andy's questionable sanity. While the small armory and isolationism is a reasonable response for one's safety from an immortal serial killer after you; it's another oddity to keep that same serial killer's head with you as company despite torturing it. Is Andy going off the deep end with the resurgence of Chucky? Or is he taking the steps necessary
to keep himself (and by extension) the world safe from Chucky? Or both?
* AssPull: A humorous example. The movie explains that Chucky can possess multiple dolls and once due to looking up a spell on Voodoofordummies.com
