Don Mancini is a unique voice in the horror genre. He's written some great scripts for the best horror shows, but he's mainly known for co-writing the Chucky franchise with John Lafia, starting with Child's Play. Since then, he's been mainly responsible for maintaining and continuing what is arguably the highest quality franchise in horror history; nothing feels like just a cash grab, and the stories and characters develop, while the kills, humor, and satire continues. Mancini wrote all eight of those films, and directed the last three before creating the surprise hit show, Chucky, which airs on SyFy and USA, and streams on Peacock. Mancini spoke with us about season three and the themes and evolution of the franchise.

*full disclosure: an online screener of this film was provided by one of the members of the cast. Director/writer: Christopher-Lee dos Santos Cast: Sean Cameron Michael, Suraya Santos, Brandon Auret, Jonathan Pienaar and Ryan Kruger. Broken Darkness is a post-apocalyptic title, from South Africa.

Determined to find the truth, Saxon sets out on a path of revenge, to bring her killers to justice. A few promotional items have released for Juggernaut. The film's first poster is shown here.
