The scenario however is a little different. Chucky still wants to take over Andy Barclay's body. Child's Play 3 does little to distinguish itself from the previous two installments in terms of story. The only issue with a franchise revolving around a killer doll is how fast the novelty wears thin. The nonbinary Glen/Glenda character forces both Chucky and Tiffany – along with the audience – to confront gender stereotypes in a way that enables mass carnage. Seed is not without its strong points however, introducing Chucky's genderfluid spawn into the franchise. Low budget aside, it's the absence of the truly horrific which is really missed here, in large part due to the overly-complicated plot that involves a web of characters looped in solely to die. Their onscreen sparring, in particular during a conference call sequence, provide the biggest laughs even if they're not matched by scares. Jennifer Tilly plays a version of herself whom Tiffany wishes to embody - quite literally. Picking up years after the events of Bride with the offspring of Chucky and Tiffany resurrecting their parents in Hollywood, what follows is zany slapstick as both try to quash their killer instincts as a way to mute their child’s own appetite for destruction. Where its predecessor Bride of Chucky carefully straddles the line of self-referential and scary slasher to winning effect, Seed tips into the former effectively rendering it horror-lite.
