George Peck, Josh Green, Emily Harrison

Andre Toulon's living puppets are back, this time in the possession of Dr. Magrew (George Peck), who runs a house of marvels and is experimenting to create the perfect being, without all the inner ...( read more  read more... )conflict and torment of humans. To do so, he recruits a talented young woodcarver named Tank (Josh Green). But Magrew's plans get complicated when his daughter (appealingly played by Emily Harrison) falls for the young man. Fans of the Puppet Master series will probably enjoy this sixth installment. The three leads are well cast, the production design shows some imagination, and the script works--until the abrupt and nonsensical ending. It's as if the last reel were missing, which might explain its actual running time of 78 minutes (not the 90 minutes promised on the case). The puppets also seem less animated than in previous films; nevertheless, they still manage to get their whacks in. Trivia factoid: director "Victoria Sloane" is one of several stage names used by David DeCoteau, who also directed Puppet Masters III and 7. --Geof Miller

    Spare us! The makers threw away the storylines established in the previous films and decided to have the puppets with another master on a ranch setting. The little things give circus-like performances for visitors. The scientist's daughter falls for a dimwitted farm hand, who mov...( read more)es in with them. The puppets create some gorey havoc in the community, and then we're thrown a shockingly unbelievable ending which is given away on the movie posters. Nice, huh? It's a quality production, except for the puppet effect shots, which are re-cycled mostly from previous installments. I wish the makers wouldn't keep throwing out their story continuity with each sequel.

    It kind of throws the whole method of making life in dead things to the wind but I like this movie. The idea of turning people into puppets amuses me so, just wish the ending had been a little more planned out.

    alot of this didnt make sense. but i liked it for...( read more) some reason. i dont no why, as most of the footage is recycled from the previous films and theres about 8 puppet scenes in the hole film.. it was different.. but wasnt bad.

    This is the worst of all the Puppet Master films. I'm terribly sorry but ripping clips from the other movies for this one was NOT artistic or cool. It was horrible. And the puppet at the end did not match the puppet being carved in the movie. I love all the PM series except this ...( read more)one.
