Konterr Brilliant and touching

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

kosmasp Transfering souls (or whatever essence you think is inside humans) into dolls is not a new idea. It's kinda new for the Puppet Master series maybe, but yeah been there done that. And done a lot better. That is Puppet Master in general and the idea if we want to be specific.This may be one of the weaker entries (although others may argue that it never had a high point, entry number 12 still out in the open and any further entries that may come after that), but it defines the legacy of it all. And legacy is just another entry of it the whole thing ... Great puppetry and nice special effects overall, if you are into that kind of thing

Woodyanders The puppets find a new master in feisty mad scientist Dr. Magrew (well played by George Peck), who's doing sadistic experiments with humans by transferring their souls into puppets. Director David DeCoteau, working from a blah and talky script by Benjamin Carr and David Schmoeller, lets the insipid plot plod along at a sluggish pace and crucially fails to develop much in the way of either suspense or spooky atmosphere. Instead this picture gets too bogged down in a tepid romance between the gentle, browbeaten, dim-witted Robert "Tank" Winsley (a likable turn by Josh Green) and Magrew's sweet daughter Jane (a charming performance by the lovely Emily Harrison). Moreover, the puppets are given precious little to do and nothing really happens until the last third of the film. Worst of all, the crummy abrupt ending fails to wrap things up in a satisfying manner. That said, the infrequent scenes of the puppets attacking folks are staged with some flair and deliver the gory goods and the cast struggle valiantly with the so-so material (Michael Guerin in particular does well as mean local bully Joey Carp). Both Howard Wexler's sharp cinematography and Jeffrey Walton's shivery score are up to par. Okay, but it could (and should) have been much better.

boy_in_red Phew! After the torture of plodding through through parts 4 and 5 (I kid you not it must have taken about 6 separate attempts for me to make it all the way through both those films) the sixth film is the series is actually a lot of fun and, thankfully, a change in direction.What I like about the stronger Puppet Master films is that rather than simply present a film about puppets killing people, there's often a lot more happening. Colourful characters, or set amidst a Nazi uprising, there have definitely been factors that make this straight-to-video series a little more sophisticated than you would expect.This film is not the strongest of the series, but still we're given some nice story elements that keep us watching- the shy Robert taken in by Dr. Magrew, who runs a showroom of oddities, a man who seems to have dark secrets that go beyond the living puppets he now owns.I enjoyed this film, it took the action away from Bogada Hotel, and it doesn't follow continuity with the previous 2 films (thankfully!) It brought a sense of fun, tension and mystery back to Puppet Master.Of course it's not perfect. Yes some of the acting is downright atrocious, and it's clear this film represents director Decoteaus' first steps towards his soft-core "jocks in tight boxers" style of horror film making, opting for looks over talent in some of his male actors, but thankfully it doesn't dominate this film- I watch horror to be scared, not aroused.Overall a fun way to spend 90 minutes, and one of the better sequels.

wolfson-0714 this movie sucks and is in no mean entertaining. the only cool thing is the killer puppets!! and the creepy music. i hardly know the names of the characters because they were barely mentioned.the horrible plot: a country boy working at a gas station starts working for a puppet master while Toulon(the puppet master) plans to turn the boy into a puppet. the acting is outrageously pitiful. the boy seems half asleep throughout the movie. it is not scary! spare yourself the 90 minutes and watch a good movie. avoid at all costs. this movie is so boring too. i don't know how/why i finished it. it looks so good on the DVD cover but it is so bad. i hated it.1/10. i haven't seen any other movies in this series but i'm sure they are somewhat better. at least waist your time on those or good horror movies like Clownhouse by Victor Salva.Rated R for Some Strong Violence/Gore and for Some Language
