Another curious trait are some decidedly cheesy synths that, on a couple of occasions, actually sound like digital versions of acoustic instruments - not exactly necessary with the LSO at your disposal. There are some enjoyable moments and the horror licks aren't of the grating sub-Marco Beltrami type, more spooky and suspenseful, but often don't appear to be going anywhere. Donaggio's score does have its moments, but the tone is often rather eclectic and, unlike the aforementioned Gremlins, doesn't have a strong main theme or character.
The perfectly obnoxious rap effort, Cut It Up, performed by Fredwreck and Defari, concludes, but adds nothing and is best omitted. The album does pick up considerably toward the end and the final half dozen tracks are much more lively after the rather slow mid section. There are some deliberately cheesy passages of lurid saxophone and strings, mixed with the suspense, although these are rather low key and become a bit samey after a while.

The movie is of the film within a film format, much like the first Scream sequel, but not going so out and out for chills so much as comedy horror satire. If there's nothing so funky as the Gremlin rag then there are plenty of fun touches in amongst the stabs (sorry) at horror. It is perhaps appropriate for Donaggio to be scoring Seed of Chucky given his contributions to similarly styled horror films directed by Joe Dante, notably The Howling and Pirana, before the director struck up his very fruitful working relationship with Jerry Goldsmith. In truth, Seed of Chucky seems more like horror in the way that Gremlins was horror, that's to say tongue in cheek. Taking over from Revell (who also scored the first sequel) is Pino Donaggio who has a fine horror scoring pedigree, although there is a lot more parody than terror here. Despite their reputation in the 1980's as video nasties, the Chucky films have slowly become self parody, most notable from the previous installment, Bride of Chucky (with a pleasingly fun and offbeat score by Graeme Revell) and this, where Chucky and his lovely life partner spawn a child, looking curiously like an extra from The Nightmare Before Christmas. I'm sure there are plenty on which they are perfectly glad to appear - Star Wars, Harry Potter, Braveheart - but, Seed of Chucky. Cinematic in-jokes (notably alluding to Whale's Bride of Frankenstein) and ingenious murders (it must be a challenge to make these pint pots threatening) give it a Scream-like postmodern sensibility, but with a surreal quality all its own.One wonders what the members of the London Symphony Orchestra make of recording soundtracks. HK director Ronny Yu and screenwriter Don Mancini approach their assignments with infectious absurdist glee. With the unwitting aid of runaway teens Stabile and Heigl, the deadly duo embark on a cross-country murder spree. Unfortunately, things don't exactly go to plan, and a revitalised but still pissed off Chucky (voiced by Brad Dourif) decides he has to cut Doll face down to size. Having studied 'Voodoo for Dummies', Tiffany reckons she can bring her rubber lover back to life. The new Childs Play spinoff series, Chucky, finally has a full-length trailer, and it wastes no time showing how the deadly doll hurls a small town into chaos with his sinister shenanigans.In the trailer, we meet Jake, a teenage 'retro' memorabilia collector who picks up a Good Guy doll from a yard sale. Tilly has a lot of fun as bleached blonde trailer trash Tiffany, Chucky's old chick when he was still just your average flesh-and-blood psychotic. Assuming we can address this third sequel on its merits as opposed to its demonic properties, it's by some way the best of the killer doll series, and as stylish and witty a horror movie as you could want. The sensational, virtually irrational association of the Child's Play films with the murder of the Liverpool boy Jamie Bulger has proved one of the more enduring instances of tabloid opportunism.
