    wow i have just seen this movie 4 the 1st time n think that this is a freaky movie 2 watch...its got a good cast of actors/actressess throughout this movie...i think that the director of this Mystery & Suspense, Science Fiction & Fantasy, Drama, Horror movie had done a good job of directing this movie because you never know what 2 expect throughout this movie because the director keeps you on the edge's of your seats throughout this movie....this may be the best 1 out of them all but imn not sure as ive only seen the 1st 2 movies of this...this has got a good story throughout n the dolls are freaky but they re really awsome

    The dolls were a bit creepy, me not being a killer doll lover, but it was ok. My late hubby loved the lead puppet Blade so much and had to talk me into watching this movie a few years back. The story was ok, and the dolls were cool.

    After Dolls, I had to get that bad killer doll movie taste out of my mouth so I watched this. Man, I forgot how cool the puppets are in this thing, and that scene with the doll vomiting leeches is about the most disturbing thing I've ever seen. Awesome 80's flick and a great soundtrack.

    Bizarre little flick. Definitely has not aged well, but still a fun watch. Check it out if you've got nothing to do for a couple hours.

    remenber seeing this mive when i was a kid and i love it and
    The first of what was to be many Puppet Master films! Full Moon Entertainment provided the b-movie community with a terrific slew of movies in this series. Tasteful stop motion combined with moderate gore and a little bit of sex make for a solid bad movie, unfortunately it does drag along at times. Toulon creates the puppets but is forced to commit suicide when Nazi agents close in on his hotel room. Years later a group of psychics answer a telepathic communication from Neil Gallagher only to find he was dead when they received his summons. Soon the puppets, controlled by Neill - who has injected himself with the same formula which gives them life, are slaughtering everyone! A very odd film at times, including Dana walking around with a stuffed dog (petting and talking to it of course) which comes to life in the end. I really like the puppets... ...too bad they ran out of people to kill

    and the charactors were
    Andre Toulon - Creator of the animated puppets, shoots himself in the head.
    Alex Whittaker - Psychic investigator, receives his insights through dreaming.
    Dana Hadley - Redheaded witch, she's constantly waving a feather or incense at something, plus she talks to a stuffed dog. Blade cuts her throat.
    Neil Gallagher - An evil and selfish man who has found the Puppet Master's secret. The puppets do him in.
    Megan - Neil's wife, she takes a rather large amount of ribbing on his part.
    Frank and Charissa - Two other psychics who can "feel" what occured somewhere, they are constantly bumping uglies. She is drilled by Tunneler and Leech Woman gets him.
    Teresa - Annoying housekeeper, Pinhead takes care of her early on thank goodness.
    The Puppets - Brought to life by Toulon they are: Blade, Jester, Leech Woman, Pin Head, and Tunneler.

    and i thought my favorite charactor was the doll with the white hair but i think hes name was blake but i dont remenber because i saw it when i was little and i love thie movie
    Blade,Pinhead,Tunneler,
    Jester and Leechwoman have all come to stay at the Bodega Inn. Very entertaining as well as for the highly astonishing music that it is known for. My very first horror movie that I saw, and still to this day stands out among alot of them. Which says alot since I love horror. Great special effects, loved Blade the most. Known as the ringleader for the little terrors. A great cast, and a nice twist ending. Also, if you enjoy this film, check out all the other sequels it has. Have all of them on DVD. What a great set they are, by the end of the series, you would be wishing you had your very own cool puppet to be yours. Also, the very first Fullmoon horror film, and continued on the many other wierd and creepy films that we have grown to love cherish and watch again and again. These guys would be great in a haunted house, they are so small and devilish. Also, lots of people would be creeped out by them, and it would be a original idea.

    I remember seeing this film as a kid and thought it was great. (as a kid, I has stupid) It's an okay idea but it's just poorly shot and poorly told. The puppet animation was alright but I like that 'clash of the titans' look.

    Such awesome potential and yet it never really delivers. There are some classy moments - leech woman is freaky as hell - and some of the stop-motion is pretty cool, but the puppets motives and characters are not explored enough and by the end it's impossible to tell whether they're evil or just vigilantes of a sort. Great score though.

    There really isn't much to say about this movie. Despite a terrible plot and acting, it's very enjoyable and the puppet effects are terrific!

    The best B movie I have ever seen. Blade is the bomb and the rest of the puppets are great. Ms. Leech had me gagging half the time, but hey, it's cool. Fantastic ending.

    Starts really slow but i guess thats whats expected from the first film of a series.If you manage to watch the first 3o mins it gets somewhat better but i would of liked the puppets to kill at random instead of killing with a purpose.None of the puppets are actually scary aside from the leech woman that is disgusting.I dont know how they expect us to believe that puppets that small could get away with killing.It looks to me that the only way they get away with it is by sneaking around or getting people in there sleep.

    "Puppetmaster" is badly directed/poorly edited, the acting is below average, there are huge plot holes where things are not explained at all, and the stop-motion puppet effects are not just really dated but were actually pretty archaic when the film was new too. Watch this to see how not to make a horror film.

    Genius. This movie is the first of it's series, which is definately the greatest "Toy" movies out there. This is good and creepy, it does feel alittle drawn-out at parts, but it's all part of it's build.

    This movie was so stupid. I don't care if it was low budget, Clerks was low budget, El Mariachi was low budget, and they were great. This is absolutely HORRIBLE! The puppets aren't even cool or scary. and the characters are stupid and pointless, like watching this movie.

    I loved this. For a low budget company they deliver a fun story with deadly little puppets, each with their own way of slaying their prey.

    Twisted, and sick to many different directions. Predictable to some degree, and sexually active for some points. Cheezy some of the puppet movements may seem in this picture, although you have to give some credit to when it was made and what the direcot was given. Very creative with the camera angles for the puppets point of view. If you are not a big horror fan, would say do not see this movie. Indeed this movie is sick (good and bad).
