Puppet Master vs Demonic Toys

source: Puppet Master vs Demonic Toys

The Puppet Master 1: terrifying Sequels: terrifying...that these get by as horror movies Demonic Toys: sucked Demonic Toys Vs. Dollman: Not worthy to acknowledge THE PUPPET MASTER VS. DEMONIC TOYS: Good; cheesy fun! These film is the second best of the Puppet Master series and the first best of the Demonic Toys series! The gore was cool, the relationship between Robert and the puppets was fun and nice. All in all, it's not a bad film at all. Formualic: yes. Cheesy: yes. Fun: yes! 3 1/2 out 5

I will keep this short just to say that there were not enough of the creatures that the movie was named for and too much of the actors (who were all horrible except for the actress playing Alex who was not too bad, all in all. The acting was horrible!!! Corey Feldman playing a graying father was laughable, Vanessa Angel was way too over the top and the every time the policewoman was on screen I thought I was watching a bad foreign film, with dubbed acting and laughing...whoa!...Being a fan of the Puppetmaster series I was willing to give this a try with hope in my heart but all I can really say is that I curse the surreal life for bring one of the Coreys back to this level of movie. I remember when he was a really good child actor...what happened???

In California, the great-nephew of Andre Toulon and owner of the Toulon Doll Hospital Robert Toulon (Corey Feldman) has found with his daughter Alexandra (Danielle Keaton) an ancient formula that brings the puppets back to life with his blood. However, the devilish owner of the Share Toys, Erica Sharpe (Vanessa Angel), who has made a deal with the demon named Bael, has a hidden camera in Toulon's place and discovers his secret. She has the intention of using his formula to reanimate the Christmas Palls, a successful toy manufactured by her factory, to cause the greatest slaughter of innocents on the Christmas morning. But Robert, together with his daughter, Sergeant Jessica Russell (Silvia Suvadova) and the guardian's puppets Jester, Pinhead, Blades and Six Shooter fight against Erica, Bael and her evil toys to save the mankind. "Puppet Master vs Demonic Toys" is cheesy and lame, with silly screenplay and poor dialogs associated to bad acting. Corey Feldman is not funny and his character is actually annoying. Vanessa Angel is histrionic with her exaggerated performance. Danielle Keaton is sweet and Silvia Suvadova is reasonable. The result is a forgettable B-movie that is neither a comedy nor a horror movie. My vote is four. Title (Brazil): "Brinquedos Diabólicos" ("Diabolic Toys")

Thanks to some masochistic urge to return the world of Full Moon from when I was 15, I watched this when it debuted on the Sci Fi Channel. It is beyond awful which is surprising because director Ted Nicolau can usually deliver a solid B-movie. The plot is a carbon copy of HALLOWEEN III (here Satan worshiping toymakers create toys that will awaken on Xmas morning and kill) but without the style or suspense. Corey Feldman is the lead (that is a HUGE red flag right there) and hams it up terribly. The effects work, usually one of the more enjoyable aspects of these films, is pathetic. I guess I got what I deserved. Shame on Band for selling the rights for this one off flick. I never thought I would say this but this is a disgrace to both franchises.

Well, let's say.. Instead of seeing Seed of Chucky tonight, I decided to stay home with my girlfriend and see the premier of Puppet Master vs. Demonic Toys.. I'll give a short review: The movie was pretty lame. The casting was goofy, the acting was very cheesy; and not in a good way.. The movie pretty much just butchering the Puppet Master Storyline, along side the Demonic Toys.. Overall, i'd give this movie a 4.. Not even sure if it deserves that, enjoy.

Total garbage from beginning to end. First off, the puppets have never looked worse. Whoever designed them should be beaten with a sack of doorknobs. Second, the writing/ dialog is terrible. Corny as hell. The acting is just as terrible. And whoever cast a woman that almost looks older than Corey Feldman as his daughter, is an imbecile. They grayed-up Corey's hair and made him talk like he was reprising his "Frog brother" role from "Lost Boys." Anyway, again, horrible-looking puppets and even worse puppeteering. They move like crap. When they finally DO fight the "Demonic Toys," you'll feel like a retard for wasting your time watching this. Trust me, stay the hell away. It's absolute CRAP with a capital C. You'd think that Charles Band NOT being involved would actually improve the latest "Puppetmaster" but unfortunately for the audience, it's actually the WORST "Puppetmaster" film. And believe me, I like a lot of cheesy movies ("Killer Klowns From Outer Space"), but this one was pure GARBAGE! I guarantee that Corey Feldman cringes at the thought of himself being in this crap...and THAT says a lot 'cause he's been in a LOT of crap throughout his career.

I thought that this movie was really cool. There were no bad actors in it and the best actor in it was Corey Feldman. None of the Puppet Master or Demonic Toys movies ever have anyone really famous in them. So I thought that it was awesome that Corey was in this movie. The movie isn't very gory but its still good without it. The goriest part was when the Clown in the box screamed and blew that guys eyes out. Anyone who saw the movie knows what I'm talking about. The only things that I thought was stupid in the movie is that the Baby doll from Demonic Toys kept farting. It got old after the third time for gods sake! But the rest of the movie was very, very good. I hope they end up putting it on a DVD soon. Well, thats all.

Wow. This sure was a mess, too bad it could have been better. -First Paragraph Dicusses The Older Films- First off, I enjoyed the first Puppet Master movie, as a matter of fact I enjoyed the first three movies in that series. In addition I also enjoyed the first Demonic Toys movie. Now keep in mind when I say enjoy, I mean enjoy them on the level they are at. The original Puppet Master was enjoyable overall, the second film saw some cool additions Puppets wise, unfortunately in one scene involving the Jester I remember actually seeing the puppeteer's hand, urrghhh, then the third one was cool with the battling against the Nazis. However this are cool probably only if you enjoy horror flicks or killer dolls or things like this, fans of the Child's Play series could probably enjoy these, at least the first few anyway, I did. As for Demonic Toys its cool, Babie Oopsie Daisey is the best, obviously a Chucky rip off, but with his own style, I wish there was more of him in the first movie. I also like that Jack in the Box waaaaaaaaay better then the one that appears in this new movie. As for the other few toys, including the Teddy that could grow, well they're OK. However after Puppet Master III it starts going down hill with the puppets turning good and battling those tiny Egyptian demon things, urgh. Then Dollman vs Demonic Toys, well, baby oopsie wasn't even the same voice and it was just really short and lame, the GI Sodlier was ultra lame. But now, a long time later, we have Puppet Master vs Demonic Toys.... -This paragraph reviews the new film "Puppet Mater vs Demonic Toys" So I see that it is directed by Ted Nicalau, personally I enjoy the "Subspecies" series so that gave me some higher hopes for this movie. Well I was wrong, wow this movie was bad. Full Moon (owner of the original two series) had no involvement in this film that I know about and it seems to show, yes thats right, Full Moon not being involved seemed to actually hurt the movie! The film is so cartoony, not a bit scary or enjoyable, just plain lame! Too bad because Corey and whoever played his daughter did fairly good acting jobs and don't look like they really belong with all the other horrible actors, or in this horrid movie at all. This is just a wretched excuse for a movie, it can't even be enjoyed on the cheesy or fun level, or even on the "so bad its good" level, its just awful. Too bad because I really like Baby Oopsie Daisey and a lot of the Puppets. However in this film the puppets look different and they movie really stupidly, its just plain fake looking. This coming from someone who enjoyed the stop motion in the earlier films. As for the Demonic Toys they look different and less menacing then ever, they also movie oddly but not as bad as the puppets, and baby oopsie of course isn't voice by the cool voice from the original, someone else, and he now uses some sort of FART ATTACK?!?!? Thats right read it again he uses a FART ATTACK THAT FLYS HIM UP FROM THE GROUND UP AT PEOPLE!?!? Wow, just avoid this one at all costs, give the daughter some better acting role, put Corey back in "Cursed" and give Ted Nicalau the money to write and direct the final "Subspecies" movies. Then we'll be good, and as the final nail in the coffin, bury both of this series deep under the ground, for good! 0/1000000000

For starters let me say this: the acting was (very) bad, the special effects laughable, and the story made me want to hurt the writers. But you know what? I enjoyed it anyway! Compared to "CURSE OF THE PM", "RETRO PM" and "PM: THE LEGACY" this was a step up...okay, a half a step, but still. Sure the Puppet's movements were really herky-jerky, but it's nice to see someone actually cared to make them MOVE, instead of looking like someone was playing with their PM action figures and over-relying on stock footage. And Baby Oopsie movements were pretty good actually. Ditto that freaky jack in the box. (The less said about that useless Teddy Bear, the better). The acting is undeniably bad, but bad in a "so-bad-it's-funny" way, which is a little better than the boredom I felt watching the three films mentioned above. Shot, Coery Feldman wasn't even their first choice but their original lead man backed out over a budgeting dispute, which is really, really unfair considering the money the Sci-Fi Channel people spend on all those Sci-Fi original mini-series and Friday night shows and marketing the heck out of them. Making the Puppets into cyborgs was an annoying move, but a somewhat necessary one. Let's face it, short things killing people was scary back in the eighties and early nineties, but a doll/puppet with a knife doesn't remotely scare anyone anymore (look at what's happened to the CHILD'S PLAY series). In fact, I almost like the Puppet's *ahem* upgrades. Blade gets a bigger knife with teeth on edge, a better looking hook and is still a little bad ass, Pinhead's new hands look bad but make him a lot stronger, and giving Six-Shooter lasers ain't a bad idea (where in the world could he find a steady supply of tiny bullets?) Jester...his new look and abilities aren't good at all, but then again all he ever had going for him was his rotating head. Much less forgivable is the decision to give the Toys *ahem* "super powers". The jack in the box's laugh now doubles as a sonar scream and Baby Oopsie has the ability to leap long distances by...farting?! What were they thinking is anyone's guess. The plot these tiny terrors are in...it's real bad isn't it? In fact, the whole "kill millions of kids on a holiday" thing was done before--and better--in HALLOWEN 3. And once again the writers gladly overlook and ignore continuity to make a new story and some new plot points, never mind long time fans and how they feel (Wait, you mean there was another Toulon centuries ago that sold his soul to a demon, then hid it in an oak tree and that same tree is what Andre used to make those puppets from "RETRO PM"?...HUH?!?!). Let's be honest, they haven't made a good (or even decent) PUPPET MASTER movie since part 5, and probably never will. But at least here they gave it a little effort.
