Puppet Master vs Demonic Toys

I consider myself a huge Puppet Master fan and completest. I own the OOP DVD box set most all of the action figures and even have the original movie poster to Puppet Master III. I'm a Puppet Master nut. I even find the good in the worst sequels. But I'm not sure even I would want this in my Puppet Master collection.

Some would scoff, but this is a slap in the face of the Puppet Master series. I was never a big big fan of the Demonic Toys movies, but I always saw the potential for a good movie being made about a battle between the puppets and toys.

If you went to the official Full Moon website years ago, you would have seen a terrific glorious image of the puppets and toys going head to head. That image was better than the whole of this 'movie'. It just doesn't even feel like one of the Puppet Master movies... As I said before, I never really loved Demonic Toys, but it was a masterpiece compared to this.

It's all just too silly. All the attempted humor misses. And the biggest let down is that there is hardly any kind of fight between the puppets and the toys! I don't think it lasted much more than a minute or so and that was at the very end of the film! Obviously whoever directed this didn't see a Puppet Master movie in his life and didn't care to.

I think I can say the Puppet Master series is unfortunately officially dead.

At least I have my old precious Full Moon DVD's to cherish. Cherish what it all USED to be.

But then perhaps those moments are only cause I haven't seen a puppet master movie in a few years? And by that I mean an original movie not "best of" clips put together and sold under the guise of a movie (I'm looking at you Legacy). This movie had some okay ideas, but they were all hampered by phoney acting. I mean the puppet master movies and the demonic toys were never known for Oscar winning performances, but these characters seemed to lean towards caricatures of what they were suppose to act like (crazy scientist, evil mistress). And all of the puppets and toys seemed to lack detail and all were animated poorly. Of course being a T.V. movie based off direct to video flicks means that they were probably on a shoe string budget, but still why does jack-in-the-box have to look exactly like...well like a jack in the box. I thought they were from a movie called DEMONIC TOYS? And this could be me, but did Blade seem kinda out of character? My image of Blade has never included him standing on one foot while he spends around like a friggin ballerina to kill something. Anywho, this could have been a lot better, but I guess if we ever want to see the movies put on DVD Separately without having to pay $200 bucks for the whole set on ebay, we should try to support Sci-fi's offering and perhaps maybe, just maybe they might listen to our criticism for future installments.

When I first heard about this cross-over, I was eager to watch it, because I've always liked the Puppet Master movies. The only problem was, I had never seen any of the Demonic Toys movies.

But, that wasn't a problem because PM vs. DT didn't have much to do with the DT story-line, or so I've been told. And as for the Puppets . . .

Well, I like how Blade, Pinhead, and Six-Shooter were in it, but, Jester? Why not Drill Sergeant, or Lady Leech? Hell, even Cyclops or Dr. Death would've been better than Jester!

But I digress. The story was enjoyable, and Corey Feldman's acting seemed to be straight out of a '50's B-movie (This Island Earth ring a bell?).

I would've preferred it if the Demonic Toys were in it more, but the Puppets were VERY enjoyable. This is one Puppet Master movie that I will watch again-and-again.

My rating: 7 out of 10.

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")

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
