Seed of Chucky (also known as
Child's Play 5: Seed Of Chucky, Child's Play 5 or SOC) is a 2004 American horror film, which is the fifth entry in the popular Child's Play series. Seed of Chucky follows the events of Bride of Chucky and stars Jennifer Tilly (who plays herself and also voices Tiffany), Billy Boyd (as the voice of Glen/Glenda), and Brad Dourif (as Chucky). The film features rapper Redman, director John Waters and S Club (7) star Hannah Spearritt. It was written and directed by Don Mancini, who created Child's Play and has written all sequels to date. With this entry, Mancini marked his directorial debut.
The film, shot in
Romania, continues the series' evolution from the pure-horror genre of the first movie to a hybrid horror-comedy. Besides spoofing other horror movies, the film references domestic dramas and tabloid television. This film also counts as the first film in the series to contain nudity.
Plot
The movie begins with Glen, the apparent "son" of
Chucky and
Tiffany; born at the expense of his estranged mother Tiffany dying immediately after he was born (this is shown right at the end of the "Bride Of Chucky" movie) and living a life of embarrassment and abuse as a ventriloquist's dummy. Desperate to know his parents (after seeing behind the scenes footage of the Child's Play
movie-within-a-movie on TV), Glen escapes and tracks them down to Hollywood.
