What critics said

What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
The killer-doll premise is treated with cartoonish gore, self-referential jokes, and knowingly excessive genre theatrics.
Chucky and Tiffany form a romantic partnership while competing through a Route 66 killing spree.
The unwitting hosts transport the murderous dolls along Route 66 during an extended series of killings.
Chucky and Tiffany are embodied as expressive murderous dolls whose physical smallness contrasts with the violence they enact.
