>They remade those so many times, someone had to like them >right? I tapped out after the first Child's Play.
i stopped after part 2, which i didn't think was good. after Dae021 mentioned ronny yu upthread, i checked to see what i'd seen and not seen that he directed and noticed he did Bride Of Chucky (1998). i like jennifer tilly, and i'm sure the romance angle added something to this franchise, but i never watched. i did have a promotional bumper sticker for one of these movies on the outside of my bedroom door growing up (this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Childs-Play-2-Chucky-Vintage-Bumper-Sticker-/111484240684).
>Couldn't get through Troll at all.
without checking, i think there were only 2 of these. i've seen both. they are regularly listed as notorious turkeys. julia louis-dreyfus appears in troll 1. troll 2 was an unrelated movie called goblins with its name changed for marketing.
>Also, is Final Destination considered a horror franchise?
i think it's definitely part of the newer, late '90s and early '00s (post-Scream) era of horror. i had no interest in this series for the longest time. i saw Urban Legend in college and decided i wasn't interested in what was being called horror at this time. john waters highly recommends FD 1-3 so i added them to my list to see (haven't yet).
