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. One wonders what the members of the London Symphony Orchestra make of recording soundtracks.
