PUPPET MASTER: THE LITTLEST REICH
B**H
Ridiculous Good Fun
This film isn't part of the main film continuity but is its own stand-alone alternate universe where-in toymaker Toulon didn't battle the Nazis but collaborated with them before fleeing Germany.This entry is designed specifically for one purpose: to dispel the notion that Puppet Master isn't a true horror franchise. And it does that with- yes, in fact Bloody Disgusting wasn't joking when it said it had the best kill scenes of the year; it likely has the best of any modern franchise entry PERIOD. They went creative, they went over the top, they went hey screw 3-6 puppets doing the killing, Toulon did mail order puppets so let's gather 60 cursed puppets for an auction and see how many bodies we can strew about the place in an hour and a half.

Fangoria removes restraints and reinvents Puppet Master
Buyers be aware of Amazon sellers’ lower price sales or deals is what you will get. The slipcover (in photos) shows what you may get for over $10. Thankfully, both blu-ray and 4K UHD disks are not damaged.The killer Nazi marionettes are back going full throttle horror in Fangoria’s goriest horror comedy! Few decades after Puppet Master 10, Andre Toulon’s puppets are re-discovered again in the present day and put up for auction at a small town convention on the anniversary of the Toulon Murders. Whether rebooted or reimagined, no more animation serum that brought the puppets to life. Yes, they are different from the prior films. Only this time, something very evil 😈 animates the marionettes to go on a killing spree while Andre has been deceased over the years. There’s reasons why creators made changes in these puppets and what can stop their killing onslaught?For Puppet Master fans, highly recommend they get the remastered blu ray box set.

An ok moo-bie and still keeps alive the history of the Puppet Master franchise
The name says it all so I cannot knock it too much. This is the ONLY moo-bie in the Puppet Master franchise that only features ONE puppet. In that aspect, it was EXTREMELY disappointing. Otherwise it was typical low budget but an ok Puppet Master moo-bie.

Could Have Been Worse
I was really excited about this reboot. I have the comics, toys, replicas, and more from the original Puppet Master franchise. I could not wait for a new series.Barbara Crampton( Re-animator, Castle Freak) as a supporting part as a police office and has a good amount of screen time. She is always great in her parts. Likewise, Udo Kier( Cigarette Burns) proved to be wonderful in this evil take of Andre Toulon. Kier has a gift if playing villains and the film would have benefited by giving him some more scenes.Now, the special effects were pretty good. There was a lot of blood and action. Unfortunately, the script was lacking. People are killed with no impact to the story. It is nothing but gory special effects and blood splatter. The puppets do not have enough time to reveal any type of charm or personality. They simple kill and move on to the next victim.The score was nice. Fabio Frizzi (Zombi2) does a good job providing a rather creepy music. It certainly was one of the better things about the film.I have no problems with the puppets being villains or changing Toulon's backstory. It is a reboot, so it is nice to have a different story. But I would have liked more of a story. Some more character development or atmosphere would have helped the film but we have just a whole bunch of gore effects.There are some extras such as an interview with the cast and designing the puppets. The DVD has closed captioning.

A fresh take on Puppet Master
I enjoy the original Puppet Master movies. Obviously, they vary wildly in quality (with the newer ones being rather bad). But overall I have a fondness for the series. I wasn't sure what the reboot would offer, but I went in with an open mind. I really liked the gore and violence (though admittedly, some of the effects looked extremely fake. It was sort of a mixed bag when it came to realism). Thankfully, the characters weren't a bunch of dopey, annoying teens. Some of the characters were even likable!!! That's a huge plus! I wish more horror films were like this in that regard. If I were to criticize anything, I'd say the old rebooted puppets looked awesome... but the newly created puppets were ridiculous. For example, New-Blade was great... but "Junior Fuhrer" felt like a Demonic Toys reject. The comedy was hit and miss, but that's to be expected. I laughed a few times (and I'm someone who typically dislikes comedy mixed into my horror films). In the end, I was happy, and if they make a sequel I'll definitely watch it. 4-stars.

Enjoyable entry
It’s enjoyable. Being old school it took a little time getting use to the different spin on the series but having an open mind I did enjoy it personally

Puppets that murder
The bad reviews on this... Guys it's a movie about puppets that murder people.I know it's hard not to compare but also... this is better? I mean I was disappointed we didn't see a redesigned Six Shooter, but like. It's fine. He wasn't in the first movie, anyway.Toulon and his puppets make more sense as villains. The way the old franchise woobifies the puppets over the course of the films is groan-worthy. At least here, they're disturbing. You aren't supposed to want to collect and cuddle them (A girl literally carries Pinhead around like a doll in Curse of Puppet Master.) You're supposed to be afraid of them.As for the gore. If this is too gory for you, you should probably drink your milk and go to bed. It's a movie bout nazi murder puppets.Also it has Barbara Crampton in it. Bonus.

Decepcionante
Muy mala película esperaba que al ser actualizada la saga, la trama fuera mejorada.Parece un film mas abajo de la clase de tipo B. Malos efectos, mal guión, música x. Todo es un chiste. Si eres muy fan de la franquicia te recomiendo que te quedes con las películas de antes.

Ennesimo...
...film della Saga (infinita) di Puppet Master.Questo capitolo è abbastanza interessante rispetto alle ultime uscite.Ottima qualità audio/video per questo BluRay con alcuni Extra interessanti.Solo in lingua Inglese, niente Italiano.Consigliato ai fan della serie ma anche a tutti gli altri indistintamente...

who doesn't like killer puppet movies
this is a good puppetmaster movie. Not the best in the series it was fun really good practical affects. Good Goore likable characters. One of the most brutal death movie. I've seen a while I'm not gonna say what it is one of my biggest complaint. Is the ending I'm not going to say what it is that would spoil a movie. What if you like horror movies or the puppetmaster movies you might like this one
