My quick rating - 5,5/10. The latest in the not-so-popular Puppet Master series is in the same silly vein as the others. If you haven't seen them before, the plot is quite simple. Killer dolls. The thing that sets these movies apart is the makers don't even attempt to use special effects to make the dolls appear lifelike. Meaning, unlike Chucky, no CGI or effects are used for the killer dolls. They are just moved around to look cheesy as all hell for the viewer's amusement. That is what makes it so damn funny. When it comes time for blood, they like to unload it in buckets. This includes one pretty memorable scene in this one, which I won't spoil, but the moms out there won't soon forget it after seeing it. Well, this time around, the dolls are brought back to life to follow some Nazi, but the whole point of including that is just a vehicle to have dolls roam around killing all the convention go-ers of the anniversary of the first Puppet Master killings. Did the first one actually come out in 1989? Wow, I am getting old.
Tubi has it free if you are so inclined otherwise rental is available on these streamers.
