Seed of Chucky

There’s another new “gay” movie opening today (along with Kinsey). Seed of Chucky, the fifth installment of the killer doll series, has a rather subversive twist, given it by its gay creator and screenwriter Don Mancini. Mancini tells New York Metro.com about the challenges in creating a fifth sequel to a slasher movie. “I thought it’s much more interesting if the child is completely sweet and innocent and wants nothing to do with that activity. The bottom line is, “What if Chucky had a gay kid?” To me, that’s hilarious. As a gay guy myself, it’s fun to get that kind of material into a mainstream movie in a subversive way. You know, I see so many gay-themed movies suffocated by their good intentions.”
