kosmasp Or something along those lines. I have mentioned the puppet work before, it's really good I think. Especially considering how budget that is. The editing I haven't mentioned yet, which also works wonders. Don't expect this to be polished or really good. But it does get down and dirty (pun intended), especially because they went for the R-rating.The first 10 minutes or so we get up to speed (if we haven't watched the previous entry that is). Which I guess is neat, but also kind of a cheap trick to save money. Running time isn't that much longer than the previous entries to the series, so there's that. All in all this plays along nicely in the whole puppet "universe" that has been created so far ...

lost-in-limbo The final chapter… ah where have I heard this before? "Sorry your reservation has just been cancelled!" Well we know that's definitely not the case, as Full Moon's killer doll franchise is still kicking on. Chapter 5 pretty much follows on from the fourth film (as they were virtually shot back-to-back by director Jeff Burr with the same cast and crew) and I found it a little more enjoyable than previous instalment. After recapping what had already occurred, again the new puppet master Rick Myers must face up against the ancient Egyptian God Sutek who wants to destroy any sort of evidence about its reanimated ancient magic that Toulon had stolen and also cope with an interfering scientist played with devious glee by Ian Ogilvy. The outlandish story layout is simply as before, repeating what happened in the fourth chapter (even with a storm brewing) but the pacing is a lot better and energy much more spruce with the Gothic seaside hotel having a little more of an impression. The thing was that the sequences involving Sutek just didn't seem to work (with its unconvincing voice reciting ridiculous dialogues and the dramatic body movements). It looked good it detail, but I preferred when it wasn't focusing on that demon. Director Jeff Burr ably constructs some atmospheric set-pieces, creating more a nightmarish tone like a very odd, but jarring dream sequence that was just as darkly unpleasant as any of the scenes from the original. Quite uneven in mood, due to its unbalanced material of humour and horror, but at times the goofiness does take away from it. Like some of the attack / death set-ups follow a formula; run, fall on ground, begin crawling and wrestle than die a bloody death. Not much else to it.The illuminating special effects are just as potent as before with it colourful optical work and masterful puppet creations. The creativity shows in the puppet work forming their own characteristics, from the animation and the effective movements of the puppets. All the iconic puppets return, also with the new creation Decapitron that's inhabitant by the spirit Andre Toulon when resurrected by electricity. Modest acting by returning leads Gordon Currie and Chandra West. Teresa Hill returns in a lesser part and Guy Rolfe. Ian Ogilvy is great and Clu Gulager makes a cameo appearance. There's good support by Nicholas Guest, Willard E. Pugh and Duane Whitaker.

Cin-38 I don't have much to say about Puppet Master V. It more or less treads all the waters of its predecessor. The movie takes place just after PM4. The next day in fact (they were shot back to back). Rick is being questioned by the cops (who else, the sushi bar attendents?) about the previous nights ensuing mayhem. While trying to sort out all of this crap, Rick finds out from Lauren that more puppet-related chaos is on the way.It appears Suteckh, the villian from the previous chapter, has decided he has no choice but to take things into his own hands after lastnight's failure. He transfers his power and mind into a single totem and sends it to the human realm. This doesn't settle all that well with our protagonists. A totem-puppet tustle erupts.Since this was shot right with PM4 it is more or less the same movie. Same actors, same puppets (except for Torch, who for some reason was conspicuous by his absence in the last), same villain, same everything. Which brings up a question. If Suteckh could just put himself into a totem or more, why didn't he do that in the first place? What did he want to get paid for TWO movies?I really can't find myself to recomend this to anyone except hardcore Puppet Master fans. Even a large group of them dislike. Not that it's any worse than the previous (which is unpopular as well). But it doesn't bring anything new to the table. Only for PM fans who want to see all of the pictures as part of a huge Puppethon.
