This movie is pretty much the worst low - budgetFreddy Vs . Jasonstyle horror moving picture team - up crossover you may imagine . We see the puppets fill on the Demonic Toys , who are character from a similar 1992 motion picture .

This one is pretty standardPuppet Masterfare but not in a particularly rewarding way – especially not for the tenth plastic film in a horror dealership .
Puppet Master: Axis Termination (2017) - 4.0
This one is Dr. Mengele ’s murderous experimental chemical compound meetsThe Men Who Stare At Goats . Yes , really .
The puppets in this one are n’t Nazis and are more anti - Cuban sandwich more than anything else , because the United States military is using them to go into a German lab to stop the maturation of more national socialist creature . They also be after to put an end to the diabolical experiment that are happening there .
Curse Of The Puppet Master (1998) - 4.1
nemesis Of The Puppet Masterat least has an interesting plot of land , even though that does n’t necessarily intend that it ’s good when it comes to thePuppet Masterfranchise .
Here , a man is researching how one could put soul into puppets because of course he does .

Puppet Master 5: The Final Chapter (1994) - 5.1
A hallmark of speculative revulsion franchises , any entering titledThe Final Chapterthat ’s nowhere virtually close to being the final movie is a must . Puppet Masterupholds this tradition with a picture show that was shot back - to - back withPuppet Master 4 , and it lack in clip and timbre appearance .
In this one , an vicious man has pin down himself inside one of the creature a recollective prison term ago , and it ’s up to our protagonist to put an end to his violent disorder with the help of the tool .
Puppet Master 4 (1993) - 5.3
lastly , a small more past the halfway point between consummate and awful comesPuppet Master 4 , a motion picture more perplexing than the already convoluted chronology of the entire series . For some reason , there are demons and they ’re attacking the agonist .
Once again , the puppets ( for some ground ) save the solar day rather than doing their skillful to murder everyone in batch in the most ridiculous and earthy ways the writer could opine up .
Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich (2018) - 5.4
This one finally has someone you may recognise in it , and his performance might have been one of the only thing that help this movie get more than a 5 .
Thomas Lennon ( Lieutenant Jim Dangle from the hitComedy CentralshowReno 911 ! ) stars as Edgar Easton , a man who attend a marionette conventionality to sell a family heirloom with his protagonist . Little did he know , puppet are indeed fairly creepy and a few at the auction are Toulon ’s !
