The tyranist's thoughts
When any horror series gets up to seven entries it becomes difficult not to roll my eyes when I see the lastest entry. But I watch them anyway. I suffer so that you don't have to.
So young Andre Toulon has dreams of entertaining the masses with puppets that would make the average child shriek (hmm, sounds like a young Charles Band doesn't it). Well, along comes an ancient sorcerer who happens to have the secret of life. Animate some puppets to fight the mummies that are chasing you and there you go.
I remember enjoying Puppet Master at least a little. At least, the puppets were evil back then, but here they've clearly become the heroes of the story and frankly it was pretty pathetic. About the only good thing in this movie is Brigitta Dau and even she isn't on screen much.
Unless you really like the puppets, there probably isn't much in this one for you. I found it to be sub-par and suited more for a Saturday morning kiddie horror show than anything else. I guess that's what I get for watching a PG-13 movie about dolls.
