Review – Puppet Master

I’ve used a lot of words to describe Full Moon productions in the past. “Stupid” and “offensive” come most readily to mind, though I’ve employed plenty of other adjectives of similar ilk. However, this is the first time I can remember using the word “boring” on one of the company’s pictures. Unfortunately the rest of the usual descriptors apply with usual force. Psychics gather at a dilapidated hotel and find themselves besieged by evil puppets left behind decades earlier by a mad genius. A puppet with blades for hands. A puppet with a drill for a head. A puppet that pukes leeches. A puppet that … well, you get the idea. The picture includes a few brief bits of mediocre stop motion animation, but the rest of it is purely dreadful. Wish I’d skipped it
