The insane opening sequence firmly sets the tone. A family of three (husband, wife, young girl) appears to be driving head-first into a major snowstorm. As the audience tries to absorb this, the wife berates the husband for lying to a policeman about the car being 4WD -- when it really isn't! Still following?? Then, my favorite part, as the blizzard completely envelopes the car with a whiteout, the wife demands the husband stop right where he is -- in the middle of the road! -- so they can resolve their argument. If you are married, maybe that will make some sort of sense to you, but it is a heck of a way to start a movie. Seconds later, an oncoming truck hits them and --BAM-- the young girl is now an orphan. Bottom line, this is slickly produced, above-average, little horror flick that delivers on its core promise, which is to simply entertain. Nowhere in the PR package does it mention the word "Chucky." Enjoy it for what it is. ((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer."
