Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Alicia I love this movie so much
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Michael_Elliott Puppet Master vs. Demonic Toys (2004) * (out of 4) Even though both the PUPPET MASTER and DEMONIC TOYS series were from Charles Band and Full Moon Entertainment, this film itself pretty much stands on its own as it was produced by a different company and originally aired on the Sci-Fi Channel. With that said, it's still the ninth in the PUPPET MASTER series with our favorite puppets back and also the third in the TOYS series (for those who actually care). It's just days before Christmas and the grandson of Andre Toulon (Corey Feldman) is attempting to bring the puppets back to life but he must find the correct formula. Once he and his young daughter bring the puppets back, a female toy maker (Vanessa Angel) wants the secret so that her demonic toys can be released and kill millions of children. Soon the two sides are doing battle but I'm sure most viewers will be asleep by then. There's no doubt that this is an extremely bad movie that really doesn't have any of the spirit of the previous PUPPET MASTER movies. It's no secret but the series was already well dried up by the time a new company tried to deliver fresh life into so you really can't hate this film any more than the previous few. I think the biggest problem is that the screenplay is constantly going for all sorts of weird humor. I'm not certain if they thought this stuff was going to be funny or if they just wanted to do something very cheap and quick. I usually enjoy Feldman but he's pretty bad here as they've got him doing a strange accent and they have him wearing some gray in the old hair. I'm guessing they were meaning for him to be an "older" man but he certainly doesn't look it and especially with such an older daughter on hand. The actor really seems to be struggling with the part but the screenplay certainly does him no favors. Angel appears to be having a good time playing bad but she's certainly not believable at it. Silvia Suvadova isn't too bad as a police woman and Danielle Keaton isn't too bad as the daughter. Another major problem is the fact that the puppets rarely get to do anything other than sit on a shelf and look around. There's one attack sequence that contains very little blood and the big finale is just a joke without any shocks or excitement. PUPPET MASTER VS. DEMONIC TOYS is a crossover that no one really asked for and it's also one of the worst out there.
capcanuk How this sort of film ever gets made is completely beyond me. I wouldn't have minded it too much had it actually BEEN a comedy, except everything that made this film farcical was due to dreadful acting (there was much eating of scenery that fateful Christmas morn'), abysmal editing (the pit of hell as seen in this film could not have been any deeper than the depths of depravity required to edit this film so poorly), and absolutely laughable dialogues (no, not laughable "haha", this was PAINFULLY laughable). I really hate trashing a flick, especially one that was so obviously made on a (severely threadbare) shoestring budget. The puppets were great! Don't get me wrong, despite their gruesome appearance, they actually are quite likable characters. Sadly, the director and writer preferred giving that hack Corey Feldman lines! The secondary roles (as if Feldman's scenery chewing stint weren't "secondary" enough) were better, though the material they were given was so dreadful, it wasn't like they had a snowball's chance in hell. Vanessa Angel was over-the-top in her villainy, and would have been quite funny in a comedy setting. All I could think, while watching this film, was that Nikolai Sotirov, as Julian - the hapless assistant to Angel's evil toy-company mogul, got away easy when his eyes were popped out of his head by the evil jack-in-the-box demon. Oh, were we - the helpless audience - only so lucky.Whatever you do, watch this film at your own peril. THIS is truly dreadful film making.
Anthony Pittore III (Shattered_Wake) Robert Toulon (Corey Feldman), great-nephew of the master toymaker Andre Toulon, has taken control of the puppet-making destiny his great-uncle began decades prior. When Erica Sharpe (Vanessa Angel) of Sharpe Toys finds out Toulon's secret formula brings the puppets to life, Robert and his daughter, Alexandra (Danielle Keaton), are put in danger and it becomes a battle royale between the. . . Puppet Masters and Demonic Toys!As a ninth sequel (yes, ninth) to the Puppet Master series and the third sequel to the lesser known Demonic Toys series, it's difficult (and foolish) to expect much from this film. The only thing it really needs to achieve is watchability. Toss in some violence & gore, and it's even better. Maybe some laughs? Alright, that's good too. Luckily, it achieves all of those elements. It's definitely entertaining, there's some okay violence, and there's more than a bit of comedy (especially from Feldman's extreme over-acting). Technically, the film is very bad. The script (especially the horrid dialogue) is just plain terrible. The story makes little sense and just randomly tosses in some plot elements without any real cause. The direction is extremely amateurish and the mix of stop motion and puppetry was worse than Team America (and, at least, Team America was purposely bad). The acting was worse than all of this, but bordered on laughably embarrassing, so it made it slightly more funny. Overall, it's not a good film. At all. But, if you're a fan of the previous installments of either series, or if you're just looking for an easy, cheesy way to spend a bit of time, I wouldn't discourage.Obligatory Christmas-Horror Elements:Subgenre: Dolls. . . Possession. . . etc.Christmas Carols: A little bit, but mainly only the Sharpe Toys jingle.Snow: As it was supposed to take place in LA (filmed in Bulgaria), there wasn't any snow.Person in a Santa suit: Perhaps, but I didn't see one.Violence/Gore: Mostly doll attacks, so nothing overly gruesome. . . but there's quite a bit of blood and such.Sex/Nudity: As it's a made-for-TV movie, we got nothing'.Scares/Suspense: Not really. Some of the dolls are pretty creepy, but that's about it.Mystery: Absolutely none.- -Final verdict: 4/10. It's too stupid to entirely hate.-AP3-
Adam Bloodworth I will never watch any other film except for Puppet Master vs Demonic Toys. I strongly recommend this movie with peyote buttons. I will be looking for another Puppet Master vs Demonic Toys sequel, if they do it will probably be the Greatest movie of the century. If you don't have any peyote buttons I suggest lsd, magic mushrooms, salvia d, or huffing gasoline it will make the film a blast to watch. You should never watch this movie sober if you do you will not get to enjoy it as much. I would like for them to come out with a high def version. Its shame this film never got an award. I wish I could own a gang of puppets that would protect me from evil doers.
