An early review posted on '' Bloody Disgusting '' was very favorable of the film . Benedict Seal stated : " Seventh films have no right to be this good or break this much new ground . '' Cult of Chucky '' takes this wild story in a whole host of new directions that franchise fans are sure to get a kick out of . There are so many batshit delights , especially as things escalate towards the finale , but to spoil them would be to ruin Mancini and co. 's grand carnival . Without a doubt , '' Child 's Play '' is a horror franchise worth treasuring . " Stephen Dalton of '' The Hollywood Reporter '' also had mostly positive things to say about the film , writing , " the bratty quips and cheerfully nasty murders come thick and fast , with drillings and decapitations , high heels and compressed air canisters all part of their repertoire . Mancini 's low-key shooting style also shifts up a gear with slow-motion split-screen action and deranged psycho-lesbian clinches , like Brian De Palma on an indie-movie budget . A lean 91 minutes long , '' Cult of Chucky '' is part self-spoofing slasher , part lowbrow bloodbath and all guilty pleasure . " Scott Mendelson of '' Forbes '' said , " '' Cult of Chucky '' is either the Final Chapter or a New Beginning . Either way , this most tenacious of horror franchises can walk on with its head held high . " William Bibbiani , writing for '' IGN '' , gave the film 7.4 out of 10 , and specified , " Too many horror sequels feel like cheap and soulless cash-ins . '' Cult of Chucky '' has big ideas , strong performances and some moments that rank among the best in the series . The other classic slasher franchises may be failing , but lately , Chucky is making entertaining horror sequels look like child 's play . " The film received a nomination for Best DVD or Blu-ray Release at the 44th Saturn Awards
