The Comic Book and Movie Reviews website wrote: *"This is one of those piss poor productions that could have been a lot better if someone sat down and tried to condense the overall narrative and give it some much needed humour."*

## Critical Reception

The New York Times wrote: *"The novelty of a bloody horror film built around a malevolent doll carrying the soul of a serial killer has worn thin."*

Empire Magazine called the film *"Chucky's smartest, sharpest, outing yet"* and Time Out called it *"the best of the killer doll series, and as stylish and witty a horror movie as you could want."*

Total Film wrote: *" Short, sweet and hilariously unpleasant, Bride Of Chucky packs in the blood and jokes tighter than Jennifer Tilly in a black rubber dress."* Entertainment Weekly described the film as *"teen horror for dummies."*

The Chicago Tribune said: *"Bride of Chucky shows flashes of visual inspiration, and the script by Don Mancini is laced with tiny nuggets of humor. But overall, Chucky seems to be coming apart at the seams."*

Marc Savlov of the Austin Chronicle wrote: *"Make no mistake, this is a horror film, and effects artisan Kevin Yagher gets impressive mileage out of some hoary genre clichés. Gore flows in copious amounts here, so much so that I wondered how this crept past the MPAA with only an R rating."*

The San Francisco Chronicle wrote: *"This may be hard to believe, but "Bride of Chucky" is a smart little horror movie. The fourth installment in the "Child's Play" series has a sense of its own silliness and a tight plot that provides a clothesline for a string of funny, macabre murders."*

The film was released on May 7, 1982 by Universal Pictures.

## Plot

## Cast

* Catherine Hicks as Sally

* Stephen McHattie as Hal
* Wilford Brimley as Sheriff
* Edward Herrmann as Paul Stanton
* Jack O'Leary as Earl

## Production

Filming for "Death Valley" took place in November of 1980 in Arizona, New York and Death Valley National Park in California.

The inspiration for the film came from screenwriter Richard Rothstein when he went on vacation in Death Valley with his family and friends where he saw a mysterious car approach his car on *"a lonely road in the middle of nowhere"* and he asked himself, *"What if somebody bad were in that car and wanted to hurt me?"*

Cybill Shepherd was considered for the role of Sally, but the scheduling couldn't be worked out. Ultimately, the role was given to Catherine Hicks.

## Critical Reception

On Rotten Tomatoes, "Death Valley" has an audience score of 27% with an average rating of 2.7\5.

The Hysteria Lives! website said: *"A mechanical and heavy handed, but minorly effective exercise in sustained suspense, Death Valley has enough of those good ol' early 80's slasher treats to keep even the most jaded fan, if not on the edge of their seat then certainly moving that way."*

The Fantastic Movie Musings and Ramblings website wrote: *"[Peter] Billingsley is so likable and natural here that his presence is probably the best thing about the movie; despite fifth billing, he is more or less the lead character. The other performances are acceptable, and this makes the movie watchable enough. However, the plot is incredibly weak, and relies so heavily on a series of incredible coincidences that it really becomes difficult to swallow. It doesn’t help that many characters act with real stupidity at several points of the story. This one is better watched for the performances than the story."*

Stacie Ponder from the Final Girl website called it *"a pretty decent thriller that would have benefited from a tighter script."*

Rod Lott from the Flick Attack website wrote: *"Death Valley is a rather routine thriller of the psycho-on-the-loose variety. Thank goodness [Dick] Richards cast [Peter] Billingsley, because the boy’s natural presence is the film’s saving grace."*

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times wrote: *"It's the kind of pleasant, sometimes funny, fairly entertaining film that you can never quite remember very well, because even the filmmakers themselves haven't seen it very clearly."*

The Miami Herald noted that the film *"has the look and feel of a cartoon."*

Hal Hinson from the Washington Post wrote: *"As "Cookie" zips along, it comes across as a likable but rather attenuated sketch. You can't help feeling that for all its charm, it's a little too thinly stretched."*

Time Out magazine wrote that director Susan Seidelman *"brings visual flair, but given the poorly conceived script, Cookie fails to touch female sensibilities in the same way as Desperately Seeking Susan and the under-rated Making Mr Right."*

TV Guide Magazine said: *"The story often lacks focus, and the fun promised by the film's opening never materializes, leaving Cookie dull and sluggish."*

## Critical Reception

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times said: *"Corrina, Corrina has its heart in the right place, and its characters are some of the nicest people I've met at the movies lately, but the movie seems to exist under a cloud of gloom, and I kept hoping for sunshine."*

Entertainment Weekly wrote: *"Corrina, Corrina is a domestic tearjerker spun out of randomly heartwarming, aren’t-people-just-the-best? moments. It’s The Sound of Music remade as an AT&T commercial."*

Peter Travers from Rolling Stone magazine noted that Whoopi Goldberg and Ray Liotta are *"two live wires stuck in a virtuous afternoon TV special."*

Rita Kempley from the Washington Post wrote: *"This is a feel-good movie with the heft of a bag of miniature marshmallows. Sure, it's manipulative, but then writer-director-producer Jessie Nelson means to send us home floating on air. And what's so wrong with that?"*

Emanuel Levy from Variety magazine called it *"a schmaltzy if entertaining comedy-drama"*, adding: *"Strong chemistry between Goldberg and Ray Liotta, and a winning performance by child actress Tina Majorino, happily triumph over old-fashioned material and mediocre production values."*

The Buffalo News said: *"It could be said that "Corrina, Corrina" is too diverse, even a touch scattered. And it does not maintain the break from formula that it initially promises. But it leans heavily in a quality direction, so who's complaining?"*

Variety magazine said: *"[Paul] Newman gives an excellent performance, assisted by a terrific supporting cast, including George Kennedy, outstanding as the unofficial leader of the cons who yields first place to Newman."*

Dave Kehr of the Chicago Reader wrote: *"Stuart Rosenberg's direction is a horror, but the cast teems with so many familiar faces that this film can't help but entertain."*

Slant Magazine said: *"[Paul] Newman remains watchable and glamorous throughout, bloody, muddy or coated in torso-flattering sweat, but the film’s efforts to sentimentally humanize him by psychological revelation are clumsy."*

The Austin Chronicle called it '"one of the sharpest prison dramas ever, although it's graced with some very humorous portions as well."

The Hollywood Reporter said that the film *"succeeds as both a highly humorous and deeply dramatic study of the immolation of human spirit in captivity and as an allegory."*

## Critical Reception

The New York Times said: *"Coping with a large number of characters and innumerable crucial details, including the inevitable red herrings, the production seems rushed in merely trying to cover the basic territory. Rod Browning's script even resorts to the pedestrian device of having Ariadne give a quick, illustrated rundown to Poirot of all the major participants. This leaves little or no time for any significant character development. The actors are shunted on and off camera, barely able to recite their lines, take their paychecks and run."*

David Parkinson from Radio Times wrote: *"In a case where nearly everybody is a thoroughly nasty piece of work, there's plenty of scope for the solid support cast to ham it up, with veterans Constance Cummings and Jean Stapleton showing the others how it should be done."*

Variety magazine wrote: *"Christmas With Holly is oddly limp, with two central characters who are attractive but not terribly interesting. Not that they’re to blame, since precious little here instills them with any dimension beyond the surface — or does anything to make the last third feel like more than a prolonged anticlimax."*

Andy Webb of the Movie Scene said: *"What this all boils down to is that "Christmas with Holly" is okay, it has all the typical Hallmark Christmas movie ingredients and what it comes up with is inoffensive. But sadly "Christmas with Holly" is not great and not memorable either, making it one of those movies which if you are channel surfing during those December afternoons is a pleasant distraction but nothing more."*
