Seed of Chucky (also known as Child's Play 5: Seed of Chucky) is a 2004 film and the fifth movie in the popular Child's Play series of films. Seed of Chucky follows the events of Bride of Chucky and stars Jennifer Tilly (who plays herself and also voices Tiffany), Billy Boyd (as the voice of Glen/Glenda), and Brad Dourif as Chucky). The film also guest stars rapper Redman and director John Waters. It was written and directed by Don Mancini, who created Child's Play and has written all of its sequels to date. With this entry, he marked his directorial debut.

The film, shot in Romania, continues the series' evolution from the pure-horror seen in the first movie to a hybrid horror-comedy. In addition to spoofing other horror movies, domestic dramas were also referenced.

This film introduces a gender-confused doll named Glen (voiced by Billy Boyd), the child of Chucky and Tiffany. When Glen sees his parents on an episode of Access Hollywood for the upcoming movie Chucky goes Psycho, he escapes his abusive ventriloquist owner and mails himself to Hollywood. Once there, he uses Chucky's amulet to transfer Chucky's and Tiffany's souls into the new dolls that the studio is using for their movie. Although horrified by his parents' murderous lifestyle, Glen wants desperately to please his parents and belong to a family, no matter how dysfunctional. Chucky and Tiffany can't agree on whether to continue killing or not, or even on the gender of their child.

Meanwhile, the real-life Jennifer Tilly (playing herself) is desperate to advance her acting career. Chucky and Tiffany have other plans for her, because they want to be human again, including impregnating her with a human child to transfer Glen's soul into...or Glenda's...or both.

1. Claudia's dad (Simon James Morgan): Stabbed by Glen, and fell through the stair railing. (Note: May not count due to being a dream.)

2. Claudia's mom (Stephanie Chambers): Head smashed on floor after slipping while taking a shower.(Note: May not count due to being a dream).

3. Tony Gardner (Himself):Decapitated with wire by Chucky and Tiffany

4. Britney (Nadia Dina Ariqat): Killed in an explosion after Chucky runs her off the road.

5. Pete Peters (John Waters): Face accidentally burned with sulfuric acid.

6. Redman (Himself): Intestines cut out.

7. Joan (Hannah Spearritt): Lit on fire with candle and hairspray, then fell over the staircase railing.

8,9,10. Bodies in closet (Various actors): One was chopped in the head with a machete, one was stabbed in the back, and one was suffocated with a plastic bag.

11. Stan (Steve Lawton): Stabbed in the chest by Chucky when he throws a knife at Tiffany.

12. Jennifer Tilly (Herself): Died once her soul was switched with Tiffany's. Hit in the head with an axe by Chucky,

13. Chucky (Brad Dourif): Chopped into bits with an ax. This may be the last time Chucky dies.

14. Fulvia (Rebecca Santos): Beaten to death with the Tiffany doll by Tiffany, whose soul is in Jennifer Tilly's body.

Writer/Director Don Mancini, who is openly gay, has stated, "My relationship with my dad is reflected, in a metaphoric way, in Glen's relationship with Chucky in Seed: Chucky wants to make a man out of Glen by encouraging him to kill, but Glen wants to remain true to himself." (CampBlood.org, "Interview with Horror Homo of the Year for 2004, Don Mancini", 2004).

Writer/Director Don Mancini: “Metaphorically, [Seed of Chucky] is about family discord and domestic abuse. If you were to do this story with real people it would be disturbing and very sad.” (pluggedinonline.com, "Seed of Chucky Review,")

• Chucky kills Britney Spears by running her off the side of the road while he and Glen are driving a Hummer. Since Britney in the film was portrayed by a look-alike, TV spots for the movie displayed this message: "Britney Spears Does Not Appear In This Movie". The reason for this was that Britney Spears and her management were concerned that people might be led to believe that Britney actually appeared and "died" in the movie.^{[citation needed]}
• The gender-confused child of Chucky and Tiffany is named either Glen or Glenda. This is an obvious tribute to Ed Wood, Jr.'s movie Glen or Glenda.
• Glen's alternate personality, Glenda, is a murderous "lady-killer" -- an homage to Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho and Brian De Palma's Dressed to Kill.
• Glen's refusal to kill a fly is another reference to Psycho.
• There is also a reference to Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, when Chucky breaks down the hospital room door with an axe, a la Jack Nicholson. After a long pause, instead of saying "Here's Chucky!!!" - a play on the famous line "Here's Johnny!!!", he says he "can't think of a thing to say, fuck it."
• Former S Club 7 star Hannah Spearritt appears in the film as Joan - Jennifer Tilly's PA.
• When Glen accidentally kills the photographer with acid, Chucky takes a picture of the victim next to his horrified son in a manner similar to photos of kills in an animal hunt.
• Tiffany is voiced by Jennifer Tilly, who plays herself in the film and played the real-life Tiffany in Bride of Chucky.
• When Tiffany calls Mrs. Bailey to apologize for killing her husband she is referring to the cop that has his throat slit in the previous Chucky movie Bride Of Chucky during the opening credits. His name was Robert Bailey, Mrs. Bailey's husband.

Glen: I don't know much about myself. I know I'm an orphan. I know I'm a freak. And, of course, I know that I'm Japanese.

---

Glen: [after refusing to kill a fly] There he goes, back to his family. How I envy him!

---

Glen: [after watching his parents team up to kill Tony Gardner] They're stark raving mad!

---

Chucky: [after Glen asks him if violence is bad] No, son. Vi-o-lins. Violins are bad. That screeching music is gonna ruin the goddamn country.

---

Chucky: I don't have a "problem" with killing. I like a little killing now and then. What's wrong with that?

---

Chucky: [After ramming Britney Spears' car off the edge of a cliff] Oops, I did it again!

---

Glen: Sometimes I feel like a boy...sometimes I feel like a girl. Can't I be both?

Tiffany: Well, some people...

Chucky: No way!

Glen: But one thing I do know for sure: I don't want to be a killer.

---

Chucky: I can't think of a thing to say. Fuck it!! [said when Chucky smashes a door with an axe, exactly as in The Shining.]

Jennifer Tilly wakes up and walks into the bathroom and experiences some back pain on the way, She notices that her night gown is very tight on her but she ignores it because she knows she has a weight problem.

Jennifer steps on her bathroom scale to see if she has lost any weight on her new diet.

Once on the scale she notices she is 40 to 60 pounds heavier. Something in the bathroom that is glass breaks.

She screams and runs outside and looks in her giant mirror.
