After her mother's mysterious death, Nica begins to suspect that the talking, red-haired doll her visiting niece has been playing with may be the key to the mounting bloodshed and chaos.
Curse of Chucky recap
Curse of Chucky (2013) delivers a Good Guy doll to the home of Nica Pierce, a woman who uses a wheelchair, and her mother is dead by morning. Don Mancini writes and directs, returning to straight horror, with Fiona Dourif as Nica and Brad Dourif as Chucky. After the funeral, Nica's sister Barb (Danielle Bisutti) arrives with her husband Ian (Brennan Elliott), their daughter Alice (Summer H. Howell), and their nanny Jill (Maitland McConnell), who is having an affair with Barb. Alice adopts the doll, and the family priest dies in a crash after Chucky poisons his food. Nica spots Charles Lee Ray in an old home video and works out who the doll really is. Chucky explains his history with her family: he loved Nica's mother, killed her father, and stabbed her mother while she was pregnant, which caused Nica's paralysis. It follows Seed of Chucky and starts the Pierce thread that runs through Cult of Chucky and the TV series.
