CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

jacobjohntaylor1 This a great movie. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. Puppet master is scarier. Puppet master 2 is also scarier. Puppet master III is also scarier. Puppet master 4 is also scarier. Puppet master 5 is also scarier. But just the same 3.9 is underrating it. This a great movie. It is not a 3.9. It is a 9. This movie scarier then the Shinning and that is not easy to do. This one of the scariest movies from the 90's. See this movie. It is a great movie. I do not know why people do not like it. It is a great horror film. See it. It will scary you.

Ethan Robinson Watching the movie we can all tell it's recycled, that's the most I will say of that, so now I'll start.The first five movies had continuity, even if the third was a prequel, the first five movies all made sense in the end. Andre Toulon fled Berlin during WWII and found himself at Bodega Bay Inn where he has hidden the puppets and that's where they have been even when they got a new puppet master, Rick Myers.The movies showed little to no flaws in story (other than six-shooter not existing for one & two) which is confusing as to where this movie takes place. Leech Lady is "featured" in this film (playing no role what-so-ever) which would place it between one and two. Now this is my question, how did the puppets get to, wherever this takes place, back to Bodega Bay?The story was rather predictable from watching the first two scenes (other than the love story, that wasn't necessary) but they could have thrown in some more deaths, there was only four which they squeezed in the last 30 minutes.Director: David DeCoteau. Actors: Good looking muscular boys (not men) and one female. Tank was shown in his skivvies three times through the movie and one other actor was gonna bust-a-nut while working out. They probably spent all their animation of the puppets having Tank pillow fight with the puppets. Later editing they must have taken a vote to burn the footage and pledge never to speak what they saw. Distraught, David DeCoteau slapped a fake director name wanting his puppet pillow fight.Six-shooter lasso was cool, I added a fourth star just for that.

Michael_Elliott Curse of the Puppet Master (1998) ** (out of 4) Four years after the previous film, Charles Band and Full Moon decided to bring their puppets back and this sixth installment tries to be its own picture and not just connect to the previous. This time out Dr. Magrew (George Peck) and his daughter (Emily Harrison) hire a slow-witted man (Josh Green) to help them build our beloved puppets. The doctor has been able to give them partial life but he needs help giving them their own souls and of course it doesn't take long for our puppets to harm anyone who goes after their friends. CURSE OF THE PUPPET MASTER is considered by fans of the series to be the absolute worst but perhaps since I'm not a fan I could see it differently. Yes, this is an ultra low-budget film that doesn't have too much action in it and yes it's clear that the attempt to try and take the series into a new direction didn't work all that great but I thought it was rather refreshing seeing something different and not just a stretch of the storyline that was the first five films. I mean, is what we see here really worse than the puppets battling a Demon God? It's clear that Full Moon was working with no money because the film doesn't even have any stop motion. The puppets, for the most part, are just being pulled by strings or other devices and this is certainly a first for the series. The visual look of them isn't all that impressive and this also means that there's more "story" than action but I'll admit to being a sucker by getting caught up in that story. I thought there were some major flaws in the film but mostly character development. The slow-wit for some reason turns smart and into a ladies man without any explanation. The doctor has some bad motives that come out of no where and I think the twist doesn't work that well. You have a bully local who beats up the slow-wit, sexually attacks the daughter and then breaks into her home yet I guess it never dawned on anyone to call the police. The love story aspect doesn't work either. With all of that said, I still got caught up with the characters because the three leads are actually pretty good in their roles. The puppets might be lacking in terms of special effects but they do get back their killer personalities and we get a couple death scenes that add on some extra gore. The "Part 6" was dropped from the title and I'm guessing this was done to try and sell the movie as something new and original, which it pretty much is. I know fans were outraged that their beloved puppets were put in a new format but I still think it was a good decision and especially after the last two flicks.

linksfight First off, I am catching up on my horror movies and have been watching the Puppet Master series over the past couple of days. I agree with most of the reviews on this site on this one. About the director, the "lame" cut off ending. Wow, that was a bold move. What were they thinking?! Like, maybe they had some footage, but they didn't like it and were like, "Let's just cut it here. That'll work." Bad guy dies. Everyone else is just. . . well, you know, what's happened has happened. Let your imagination take hold and finish the rest yourself.I didn't want to rate it low, but it's definitely not one that should be way up there. I think too many people believe a movie is going to be fantastic or totally bite when you really just need to take a movie for what it is and allow yourself to suspend your disbelief, and use your imagination... unless you're so bored you can't, but sometimes you just need to look at something a little closer.Well, I thought the puppets had quite a fair share of air time, but I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the biggest disappointment about it... Half of the puppet shots, (if not more) were from the first five movies. Yeah, they just recycled footage so they wouldn't have to do any extra animating. Not that they did any to begin with. Anyone could have made this movie by getting a bunch of novelty puppets or replicas from the films, about ten people they know, and filmed the puppets walking along a ledge as long as their hands weren't in the shots... that's pretty much what happened with the exception of a little bit of lightning effects at the end. And don't forget the footage ripped from the other movies. Gotta fill space, show the puppets, and not do any extra but much needed work in the process.Yeah, I have gone over all the negatives, but positives... not a whole lot. Everyone rips on the acting, but it's quality B movie acting (that would be a craft of its own). I've seen way worse. There was at least one good death scene... Maybe two. I hated the cop so much that I loved it. You just wanted to punch the cop and the bully in the face. It was great. The story was a little slow moving, but for some reason it kept my attention. Probably cause there was a little bit of a story, and the movie attempted to build some relationships between some of the characters. I did say attempt, and you have to admit that there are Hollywood "Blockbusters" today which still fail at something as important as a story.
