DVD Reviews of Puppetmaster vs. Demonic Toys
DVD Review: Unimpressive, yet funny
Summary: 3 Stars
Back when Fullmoon owned the rights to both movie franchises, it was originally planned that they would make a Puppet Wars mini-series back in the 1990's. Sadly the series idea was scrapped due to insufficient funds. Now that the Sci-fi Channel holds the right, they aired the "long awaited cinematic showdown" known as 'Puppet Master Vs. Demonic Toys'. Full Moon had nothing to do with the project. This is the third film in the Demonic Toys series and the 9th film in the Puppet Master series. The story takes place near Christmas eve, in which the Robert Toulon (great nephew of Andre Toulon) uses the reanimating fluid to revive the puppets we all know and love. What Toulon didn't know whas that he was being closely watched by a huge toy company. The head mistress of this highly popular toy company Erica Sharpe makes a deal with a demon from hell. The demon is hell bent on revenge and demands Toulon's blood. So Erica gets help from some well known Demonic Toys and plots to bring the entire toy line to life to spread innocent blood on christmas morning. So it's up to Robert and his gang of puppets to try and stop the evil madness.
Well first I would just like to say that im a big fan of both the Puppet Master and Demonic Toys movies, even though there were very few Demonic Toys movies. The last Demonic Toys movie just so happened to be 'Dollman Vs. Demonic Toys', which was just a big letdown. This movie is actually a letdown as well. This film was originally planned back in the 90's when Fullmoon brought up the idea of a mini-series. Well after a long wait the movie finally got made. Was it worth the wait? My answer would be yes and no. There were some things that I liked about this movie, but the bad really outweighs the good. I was mostly disappointed with this film and it was hard for me to take it seriously. From the characters, to the acting and even down to the look of the smaller evil characters. The idea of both movie franchises coming together really caught my attention and even had me pumped up to see it. I honestly didn't know what to expect and I'm really glad that I wasn't expecting it to be great or anything fantastic. What I found most entertaining was the acting from Corey Feldman. I couldn't help but laugh most of the time he talked, which was actually most of the movie. I found myself laughing at the little things that just weren't meant to be funny.
When I first found out that this would premiere on the Sci-Fi channel I knew right away that the movie would end up being low budget and corny. To no surprise I was correct. The acting in the film was off and at times the movements from the puppets looked cheap and fast. I happen to love cheesy flicks but seeing this film is just as fun as watching time fly by. Seeing the puppets and demonic toys on screen again was a neat pleasure though, but seeing them fight was a whole different story. For one the way the puppets and toys looked were kind of disappointing. I may sound picky for saying this but each of the puppets and toys used in this film were newly built and looked different. Its hard to describe the looks but its really noticeable, especially with the demonic toys. They just seemed to look less scary and evil (especially the toy bear, he looked more cute than threatening). The other thing that bothered me is the fact that they used only a few of the well known dolls in the movie. We get to see the puppets Blade, Pinhead, Chester and 6 Shooter. As for the evil toys we get to see Oopsidasy (baby doll), the teddy bear and that crazy Jack in the box. It was nice seeing them in a film together but I thought all the so called fight scenes were horrible and embarrassing. It makes sense knowing that this is a low budget feature, so it's not like you're going to see grade A fight sequences with the best special effects anyway.
I think it was a smart move to have this film premiere on the Sc-Fi channel. They really didn't have to cut out much because there is hardly any gore shown. There is some blood and gore, just not that much. Like a lot of low budget films this one definitely has its corny moments. Some of them were positives to me, I had a good laugh watching this movie and I did find some things entertaining. Sadly I found there to be more negatives than positives. The story could have been a lot better, but the way everything was put together was pretty decent. The demonic toy Oopsidasy is a hilarious character as always, using his ass more than once and saying those funny lines. That character was one of the highlights for me. The fight sequences between the puppets and toys were short and lame. You'd figure that they could've done a much better job with that aspect of the picture, especially since that's what the movie is based upon. Part of reason why I wanted to see this film was to watch all the characters collide in a battle to the death. In the end I was disappointed with the outcome. Hell at least they gave the puppets a cyber upgrade, not to mention the DVD is pretty cheap so you can pick it up for a low price. But even then you really got to think hard about doing that.
Overall I thought this was a pretty bad movie. But if you don't take it too seriously then perhaps you will enjoy it more than I did. I honestly just couldn't take it seriously. The story could've been better, the acting is bad and I thought it was unimpressive. Sure it's low budget and im usually into those kind of films, but this one is pretty bad. If you enjoy watching really corny movies then I definitely recommend checking this out. I'm sure you'll have a laugh all the way through. If you're a fan of either the Puppet Master or Demonic Toys movies then you will very disappointed with this film. If you ever do plan on watching it then just rent it and don't expect anything great or fancy. Just grab a group of friends, make some popcorn and laugh your asses off.
Description of Puppetmaster vs. Demonic Toys
It?s the night before Christmas Eve, and oddball inventor Robert Toulon (Corey Feldman of THE GOONIES and STAND BY ME) has discovered his great granduncle?s formula for reanimating the master?s lethal puppets: Six-Shooter, Jester, Blade and Pinhead. Meanwhile, diabolical industrialist Erica Sharpe (Vanessa Angel of KINGPIN and WEIRD SCIENCE) is finalizing her satanic plan for unleashing her father?s foul-mouthed, blood-guzzling toys upon the world?s underprivileged children. But even if Toulon can give the puppets a deadly cyber makeover and stop the blood sacrifice of his daughter, can he still prevent the coming Christmas carnage? Playtime is over: Get ready for the final battle between the ultimate titans of toy terror!Bestsellers in DVD
