Puppet Master (1989)

Puppet Master, many, if not all of you have seen it sometime in your life. I know I have seen it, but not in a looooong time, probably 15 years.  So I decided, I'm going to watch the entire Puppet Master series. I have seen several, but not the whole bunch.  I first watched and reviewed Puppet Master vs. Demonic Toys (REVIEW) and absolutely hated it. So, I was more than wary about beginning to watch the series.  Anyways, I popped in the original Puppet Master, and was pleasantly surprised.  Its not a fantastic movie, but definitely a cult classic and leagues better than the aforementioned Puppet Master vs. Demonic Toys.  The plot goes something like this, a team of psychics gather together at a remote old house to investigate the legacy of legendary puppetmaster Andre Toulon (a brief, but memorably quirky appearance by William Hickey). Said team falls prey to Toulon's five killer puppets. Thats pretty much it.  You see some memorable 80s style acting, which I personally love and puppets killing people in various ways, which I also love.  Some of the plot toward the ending got a little out of hand, but that didn't really bother me that much.  I wouldn't consider the movie scary, unless you have a fear of dolls, then it might bother you.  Otherwise, it does come off really comedic, a trait that I didn't remember it having when I watched it as a kid. The dolls actually looked pretty cool regardless and sparked my interest back up in watching this series in its entirety.  I would definitely recommend watching it if you haven't and if you haven't watched it recently, I would definitely recommend re-watching it. Next up on the list to watch is Puppet Master II!
