It's an absolute shame, I tell you! Full Moon had things going so well for Puppet Master; Puppet Master 5, I thought, was a satisfying B-budget film with loads of fun to offer. Then, Full Moon's contract with Paramount ended, and the studio became independent. This, I believe, is to blame for the tragedy that is Curse of the Puppet Master.It has been said that a good thriller is like a roller coaster; you're taken on a ride that excites you, has several surprises up its sleeve, and doesn't slow until it stops. I would use a different comparison with #6: "Curse" is like the first 30 seconds of a roller coaster; it climbs and climbs up to the top, then plummets to disaster terrifyingly quickly.This film saddens me, because it could have been the best in the series. All of the actors are good in their roles, and a visible amount of effort was put into the script-work. For the first 50 minutes of this 80-minute-long movie, you think that this film is going to be a step up for Full Moon. Then, with the first murder in the picture, you see the tragedy as it strikes. This is because, terribly enough,the worst element of this puppets' escapade is the puppets themselves!I don't know what Full Moon was thinking; for the first 50 minutes of the film, the puppets are mostly stock footage from previous films. Lazy, to be sure, but it soon becomes clear that this is better than the alternative; when we are forced to see new footage of the puppets, we are shown renditions that look like Barbie dolls being worked by hand. The walking sequences, which are supposed to involve shoulder movement and something betraying life, are the worst: no effort was put into making our puppets look alive. What's worse, there are actual technical lapses in which the rods by which the puppets are (barely) moved are not just visible, but take center stage! Who was responsible for this rape of our once-beloved puppets?!I won't complain anymore, at least not in front of you. It just saddens me how far the puppets manage to sink their own movie here, just by being there. If they had been better made, this could have been the best entry in the Puppet Master franchise. But they're not, and because of it, this is perhaps the worst film yet in the series. Cursed indeed.
(I was going to skip this one)This movie is a stand alone movie in the series, is not connected to the last two movies or the others,Is brand new master and this as a New plot, A scientist attempts to master the art of transferring people's souls into puppets.I didn't think it was too bad but i liked the Idea of the plot, it's brought some freshness to the series, it felt like the Puppet as some of Creep factor back.There were some very bloody moment in this, which was not bad, I felt same as all the other in this series, another Average movieThe acting was not that good at all from some of the cast and some were bearable5 out of 10
A little random entry in the Puppet Master series with a 'gentle giant' gas station attendant Robert 'Tank' being offered a job for Dr. Magrew mirroring the work of Andre Toulon. George Peck who plays Magrew is fairly similar to the original Puppet Master (William Hickey). Anyway, Magrew daughter, pretty Jane (Emily Harrison) falls in love with Tank while Magrew wants to use him not only in recreating the dolls of Toulon but also more literally in his quest to create a range of 'perfect human puppets'. Of course Jane wouldn't want Tank to be used in this way and perhaps neither do our lovable puppet friends...Well made film, directed by David DeCoteau. Fairly tame (except for a few scenes of Tunneller) but fun and a pleasant aside from the main series tale of Toulon's plight and his puppets adventures. Entertaining.
This was not one of their best movie for puppet master and why was it called Curse of the Puppet Master if the curse didn't even happened but at the end. And why was this movie rated R, because only one person did in a not so bloody way and not so much cursing in this movie. And what bothered me the most was two things, one was why was their a doll under that girl, it was a useless scene that needed to be deleted. And why was that old guy trying to get his worker in a toy, up to know I don't understand both of those things. Al I'm saying is don't make more Puppet Master movies because after part 4 if was boring, stupid, and pointless.
