ShangLuda
Admirable film.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

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

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.

I was eager to see this movie after i saw the puppet master series & the terrible but hilarious demonic toys, but i was disappointed very early on. Firstly there is no gore what so ever & the toys have been made over to look totally stupid & far from demonic, the puppets too are given an "upgrade" in the movie but they just look pathetic! blade's new hook & knife are so plastic i swear i could see "made in Taiwan". Moving on the acting would be bad in a porn movie with the exception of Vanessa Angel who plays the film's main villain. The special effects are also rubbish, in fact the very first Puppet Master movie has better effects even though it was made years ago! If you are a fan of either film series & haven't seen this yet DON'T!!

I alternate between loving and hating this movie for how bad it is. If you love bad b horror movies this is for you. I was very young whenever I saw any of the "Puppetmaster" movies so I can't really comment on how those relate to this movie. This movie nearly has it all - I say nearly becuz it does not have nudity :( However it does have satanic virgin sacrifices, evil toys that kill with awesomely bad stop-motion, and a stupid unconvincing portrayal of a mad-scientist by a washed-up former child actor (one of the corey's). And it only gets worse (yes worse). There is also a policewoman who wear her police uniform for the entire film! Every single scene, which included many scence were it made no sense for her to be wearing her on-duty police uniform. I mean who the hell did wardrobe for this film? Probably the same idiot that was responsible for casting - the father/daughter are almost the same age! They put her in pigtails and him in a bad wig to, I guess suggest a greater age difference, but its just laughable and a little creepy. Amazingly this is not the most terrible movie in the world - the plot is fairly consistent, its a stupid guilty pleasure horror movie.and demon wearing a mask

Now, we've all seen the IMDb top 250 of all time (and bottom for that matter) but i have to insist that no matter what the rating for this movie is that is be inducted to the top 250 for being one of the greatest laugh out loud movies of all time. Consider the baby-doll's Fart Attack, and the way that same baby beats up all the good characters in the movie, or the way that just because Corey Feldman has to pee, that his daughter's kidnapping is unknown to him through the screaming and noise. Or the fact that the police woman that Corey's character meets somehow knows he has fled to his mothers house. Or maybe it could be that there is a Christmas Spirit Award presented by the police department to a toy company. This Movie, Ladies and Gentleman is what you call an instant classic. And by Instant Classic i mean, the cast and crew of this film should probably be burned alive or at least maimed a little bit for doing this. But yeah, you should probably rent it, it is more laugh out loud than the Ringer or Guess Who.
