1.5/5
The overdubs are rampant to a point that it’s entirely possible no voice you hear is matched to a mouth you see moving, and there is zero point to making a PG-13 "Puppet Master" film. Go to Full Review
Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed Jan 14, 2017
The last very good entry in the "Puppet Master" movie series, and I hope we get this dark fantasy element back someday. Go to Full Review

Theodore L Dec 27, 2018 Awful. Couldn't even follow it because it was so bad. Not even sure what I just watched. A bunch of weird guys in hats who can't act. See more
Luke S Jul 10, 2018 I'm really uncertain about this movie. It was awkwardly slow, sometimes ridiculous, but then in parts had a weird atmosphere and some production value. Alltogether not really a good movie, though. See more
Leia G Feb 17, 2018 Not at all necessary and promises to answer what happened to unseen puppets from other movies, yet blatantly refuses to deliver. See more
Rey W Mar 7, 2017 This is the first chronologically speaking so I will watch in order. I've always ignored this franchise but I have finally decided to watch them. This is a VERY slow film with zero horror elements in my opinion, the dialogue and acting is questionable at best but it's not a completely terrible film. I actually find the origin rather interesting but it's quite an effort to get through. See more
