Chucky: Cape Queer (2021)
Best episode out yet! Spoiler free
I always find myself saying this with every new Chucky episode, but this episode had me gagging, screaming, cringing, and swooning all in short 45 minutes.
No spoilers but 2 shocking deaths. At least I was shocked. They use a narrative technique few horror movies do where they actually invest time exploring characters and their complexities, only to later murder them for shock value. It sounds like it would be common, but it isn't because it takes away air time from the main characters. I'm glad they did it, it works, I was shocked.
Chucky is hilarious, Miss Tilly is amazing, all plot-lines worked for me and they gay stuff was cute as hell. I can't wait to see where Jake and Devon take their relationship and I wonder who else is going to bite it.
For a second I was lost with all the voodoo stuff. I know it comes from the Chucky franchise and is technically staying faithful to it, but for a moment I was hoping they relied less on it. The mythology is a bit messy and the returning actors deliver some choppy acting. But in the end, it redeemed itself and I have some theories on how this is all going to pan out.
Heavily invested. Love the show. I give it a 10/10 because why not.
