Curse Of The Puppet Master

(1998)

Yes, you may have seen a review of this movie previously done by my partner in swine, Twiddle, but he traded it for the chance to review PHANTASM OBLIVION, so I've moved in on his territory! We Egyptians have a history of being conquered, so it's time to change that image! Beware Anubis and... oh, forget it! This is the SIXTH, and possibly, final installment of the series, having NOTHING to do with Toulon, or any previous "PM" storylines. Some old goober and his luscious, young daughter buy the puppets at an auction, so they may show them off in their little sideshow. They hire the local retard (every small town has one, sometimes even 3 or 4!) to do work for 'em and carve a new puppet so the old guy can practice Toulon's old tricks. It's a rip-off of the "cult-classic", SSSSSSS, which , in itself, sucked monkey feces. There's too much emphasis on the retard and his blooming romance with the "innocent" young lass. The puppets looked like some retard DID put 'em together, and there's GRATUITOUS use of stock footage from previous "PM" movies, mostly, the sacred third installment. Band, you've seriously FUCKED up the franchise this time! It was a decent movie, but there was too much "Master", and not nearly enough "Puppet". If there is a next time, there'd better be new footage and more carnage, or I'm making a special trip to the set of your latest movie to rip your soul from your still-twitching carcass, AFTER a little "fun-time" with my pet wolverines! You've been warned!

Sequels: next up is RETRO-PUPPET MASTER
