Curse of Chucky redefines the typical slasher narrative by placing a female protagonist at the center. By shifting away from the traditional male-centric viewpoint, the film highlights Nica's strength and resilience. The film's most progressive aspect is its portrayal of disability. Nica is depicted as a competent character whose wheelchair is not just a prop but an integral part of her life. However, the film still lacks diversity in other areas, such as a lack of LGBTQ+ representation and limited ethnic variety.
