Heroes Reborn Is Falling Into the Exact Same Trap That Heroes Did

Hey, remember all that potential I said that Heroes Reborn had two weeks ago after the third episode?

The Child’s Play series—now up to six films, with a seventh apparently underway—is now best-known for its campier entries, especially 2004’s Seed of Chucky.
