StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Wuchak RELEASED TO VIDEO IN 1989 and directed by David Schmoeller, "Puppet Master" (or "Puppetmaster") takes place at a striking old hotel on the California coast where four psychics gather to meet a former colleague and his wife, the heir of the grand inn. However, their colleague has committed suicide and puppets animated by Egyptian sorcery are intent on killing them off one-by-one.This was the first of a franchise that includes a dozen sequels (as of this writing), which is one more than the Friday the 13th franchise. While decidedly Grade B in quality, I liked the grand ol' hotel setting, the cast, and the Ten Little Indians-like plot. Unfortunately, the first half hour feels lethargic and dull. From there, the film's decent enough with quality puppet effects. Irene Miracle is stunning as a psychic biyatch and Kathryn O'Reilly & Robin Frates ain't no slouches on the feminine front, but the filmmakers fumble the ball as far as taking advantage of these resources. Paul Le Mat is genial as the main male protagonist with frightful hair while Jimmie F. Skaggs is formidable as the colleague gone mad. THE MOVIE RUNS 1 hour, 30 minutes and was shot in California (Riverside, Pasadena, etc.). WRITERS: Charles Band, Kenneth J. Hall, Schmoeller and J.S. Cardone. GRADE: C+

skybrick736 Full Moon's classic movie, most likely their masterpiece, no pun intended is Puppet Master. The first shot of Blade running throughout the hotel to his creator Tulon was a great hook to the opening credits. The credits have the magnificent Puppet Master theme song that is one of my favorites in the horror genre. The music really sets the atmosphere for this type of fun corny movie but it still produces a creepy feel. What really makes the movie though is the characters being both the humans and the puppets themselves that have their own identity and uniqueness. Irene Miracle who plays Dana Hadley is still a Hollywood crush of mine and she played a fabulous eccentric role in the film. It's hard to nitpick on Puppet Master but if I have to say if there is a letdown it's probably the ending twist which could have had a bit more to it. I recommend Puppet Master to any horror fan around it's a great movie to the horror genre.

richieandsam PUPPET MASTERI am not convinced this can be classed as a horror. HahaI had seen this film a very long time ago and didn't remember much about it... other than the obvious... a load of puppets go killing people.It has not dated very well, but I did enjoy it in a weird kind of way.The acting was awful and the effects were terrible... but I can imagine for the time they were good.I loved the puppets though... they were horrible.There were some really funny moments in the movie too... and I am not just talking about the sexy hairstyles they had back then. HahaThere is one puppet that has huge arms and a tiny head, his name was Pinhead, he was great. You could clearly see in some scenes that they were someone's hands poking through the body of a dummy and picking things up etc... it looked so bad that it made it great!The puppet with a drill on his head, named Tunneler is good and Blade is easily recognisable. Probably the most famous puppet of them all...One of my favourites though is the lady puppet named Leech Woman... she regurgitates leeches onto her victims... really gross, but cool.This film has got a cult following and about a million sequels which I have not seen... but after seeing this again and enjoying it I will be looking out for them. JNot the best horror from its time, but still very enjoyable and funny.I will give this film 7 out of 10...I get a feeling though the sequels will probably get worst and worst.For more reviews, please like my Facebook page:http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ordinary-Person-Movie- Reviews/456572047728204?ref=hl

blaylocktrevor i love this movie! puppet master has great stop motion effects and a sense of fun. this is one of the best entries in the puppet master series. it start out with a man named Andre Toulon putting the finishing touches on a puppet named Jester(One of my favorites)a puppet who spins his head a lot to decide which expression he wants. then Blade(the most popular puppet)tries to escape two Nazi men and heads to Toulon's door. Toulon picks him up in time to commit suicide by shooting himself in the mouth with a gun.a group of scientists goes to the hotel where Toulon killed himself. they meet a woman named Megan Gallagher who's husband shoot himself as well.then havoc starts to unwind when the puppets come to the hotel. the scientist are kill off one by one, leaving only Megan Gallagher and Alex Whitaker(one of the scientists)then they meet Mr.s Gallagher's husband who killed himself to learn about Toulon's secret for making life after death. then he abuses one of the puppets (Jester) this angers them and they start to betray him with Tunneler drilling a hole in his jaw, Pinhead holding his head for Leech woman to vomit a leech in his mouth, and blade cutting his fingers off with green blood coming out. one part that really make me wonder is how that dog came alive. all and all it's a good movie of the 80's. and a fun movie to watch. 8/10
