Living with Chucky

Living with Chucky (2022) is a documentary about the killer-doll franchise you can watch online on iFILM. Director Kyra Elise Gardner grew up beside Chucky; her father built and ran the doll's animatronics.

She films from that personal vantage. Instead of cataloguing kills, the movie sits down with the people who've kept Child's Play alive for decades. Brad Dourif, the voice of Chucky, joins his daughter Fiona Dourif, series creator Don Mancini, Jennifer Tilly, and Alex Vincent, who played little Andy as a kid. They trade set stories, old arguments, and the strange truth that a foot-tall redhead became family.

What lands is a warm group portrait, with horror as the backdrop rather than the point. Longtime fans get a flood of behind-the-scenes lore; newcomers get a clear sense of why a plastic maniac has lasted almost forty years. Stream Living with Chucky (2022) online on iFILM.
