The premise

Confined to an asylum for the criminally insane for the past four years, Nica is wrongly convinced that she, not Chucky, murdered her entire family... until a string of grisly deaths occur after her psychiatrist introduces a new group therapy tool -- a "Good Guy" doll.

Horror Vault's take

Four years after being institutionalized for crimes she insists she didn't commit, Nica Pierce finds her fragile grip on sanity tested when a familiar plastic face turns up in her psychiatric ward. What begins as an unsettling therapy session quickly spirals into carnage as the asylum's walls close in and the body count rises. The seventh chapter in the Child's Play saga leans into its mythology with fresh ferocity, blending fan-service callbacks with genuinely grim set pieces. Longtime followers of the franchise will find threads here that pull the larger Chucky story in bold new directions.
