Charles: A Chucky Fan Film
“Charles” is a whole new re-imagining of Chucky. The feature-length movie follows Michael and Samantha who just moved into a new house. Little do they know, the Lakeshore Strangler Charles Lee Ray lived in the house before his death six months earlier. The couple finds a nostalgic Good Guy doll in their basement that wants something from them and will stop at nothing to get it. “Charles” looks to put Chucky on the map as one of the scariest horror icons again. The movie will be a horrific rollercoaster, with similar styles to “The Conjuring”, “Annabelle”, and “The Haunting of Hill House”. With an intense, suspenseful story, cinematic visuals, authentic hand-made dolls, and a beautifully frightening music score, “Charles” will make Chucky scary again.
