TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

jacobjohntaylor1 This a great horror movie. The first three Puppet master movie are very scary. And this is very scary. Puppet master 5 is better. But this is a great horror film. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. It is very scary. It got a 5.3 which is a good ratting. But this is such a great horror film 5.3 is underrating it. This is a 10. Not a 5.3. This movie is scarier then The Shinning and that is not easy to do. This is scarier then A Nightmare on elm street and that is not easy to do. This is scarier then the 2009 reboot of Friday the 13th ever could be. This is a great movie. See it.

Master Cultist Puppet Master is one of those franchises that every horror fan knows, and has a peculiar fondness for despite the fact that it isn't very good at all. Here, in the fourth instalment we see a demonic creature out to destroy anything associated with the eponymous puppet master, Anton Toulon himself. The subjects of his wrath? The lethal and animate toys Toulon created, as well as an improbably young scientist working on a project to bring life to the inanimate and a clutch of his witless friends and associates. Sound dreadful? Well, it's not. Harking back to the glory days of American horror, this is retro stuff that feels as if it was made ten years before it actually was. And that's a good thing, kids. Trust me, if the only horror you have seen is 'Shrooms, Thir13en ghosts and other such nonsense that gets the green light in modern horror cinema, you really are missing out and would do well to check out pretty much anything pre 1989 as an educational experience. Whilst the production levels and acting are bordering on the inane, this has atmosphere by the bucket load. In truth, the Puppet Master movies feel like really dark kids films, as there is next to nothing in the way of gore or violence, though this one at least has an entertaining death scene near the start which is relatively tense. Special mention must go to the metal soundtrack, which was great, as well as the device used to end the demonic menace: The Decapitron, a puppet with the power of mimicry. Entertaining enough horror yarn.

homecoming8 I absolutely love the first three movies, they were great! I once caught Part 5 on VHS 10 years ago, and I was disappointed. But perhaps that was because I never saw the fourth one, because they were shot back-to-back. but after finally viewing a copy today, I have to say it was no way better than number 5. My expectations weren't high to begin with, but this is cheap direct-to-video stuff, not even a horror movie, it's PG-13. The acting was not convincing, the story was rather dumb without any excitement and there were not many effects. But the main problem is that there were no kills or any gore (the annoying kid who gets killed in his car was supposed to be the highlight, but come on..)Surprisingly, both Parts 4 and 5 were directed by Sequel-director Jeff Burr who gave us the excellent Stepfather II and Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III. I liked Puppet Master: The Legacy, even if it was nothing else than a tribute with the best scenes from all movies.Overall, Puppet Master is very much like the Hellraiser Series: A great trilogy but forget the rest..

DVD_Connoisseur "Puppet Master 4" shows the great potential this straight-to-video horror franchise has in terms of the variety of stories that can be explored. In this third sequel, the human characters and the infamous puppets are forced to battle the forces of darkness in the shape of a towering demonic baddie, Zutek, and the evil Totems (think gremlins but with less personality).It's a feel-good horror movie but with a few genuine scares thrown in early on (a first for the "Puppet Master" series). The film is ably directed by Jeff Burr ("Leatherface") and moves at a cracking pace.The cast do a decent job and there's even the introduction of a new puppet for the film's finale.All in all, a great popcorn horror film that leaves the viewer hungry for the next (but not final) instalment.
