...rare movie that makes you stand up and cheer as the credits roll. Bride of Chucky is such a movie...
Horror movies these days tend to be self-referential disasters, as though knowing and admitting that a movie is boring and predictable makes it less so. Not Bride of Chucky. Miraculously, this ridiculous gem has made it through the po-mo silliness that infects so many movies these days and is one of the most entertaining films of the year, easily besting such pathetic recent horror offerings as Halloween: H20 and those lame Screams...
