One thing that concerns me a bit is that there often seems to be a fairly substantive divide between the quality of houses based on “cult” or “beloved classic” properties (Klownz, American Werewolf, Exorcist, the first Halloween house, etc) and “current big thing” houses (Us, Walking Dead, Dracula Untold, Doomsday, Blumhouse, Dusk til Dawn, etc). The former tend to be much more creative and focus on evoking the feeling of the IP while the latter can often seem like passionless, workmanlike book reports. That’s not always the case, of course, but it often seems to be. It’s why I’m a bit wary of the possible IP lineup this year, which doesn’t seem to have that “cult” or “classic” house. Hopefully Chucky is based more on the franchise as a whole then the current series and can fill that niche.
