Movie Reviews of Puppetmaster vs. Demonic Toys
Movie Review: Corey Feldman gets out acted by inanimate objects. Fantastic!
Summary: 4 Stars
In 1989 the world was introduced to a company soley commited to the b horror community best known as Full Moon productions. The creator of this low budget empire is Charles Band who created Full Moon as a second attempt after he failed miserably with another production company. His first release was Puppet Master which came out on VHS and laserdisc (yeah laser disc, awesome) and turned out to be a huge success. This would get the ball rolling turning out a huge cult following causing Puppet Master to turn into a series of films. As the years rolled on Charles Band was asked to make some slasher flicks to try to compete with the "Scream" era and did so under a new production company known as Shadow Films which only lasted two years after the films failed. Charles then decided to rebirth Full Moon and which brings us to tonight's feature Puppet Master vs Demonic Toys. This film is a beautiful combo of the puppets from Puppet Master and the toys from Demonic Toys in an all out feats of strength. Is it possible for anything to be more B then this? Now looking at the four star rating may make you wonder why would we give a rating so high. See the thing with Full Moon productions is if you are willing to watch one then you know what to expect. You look for terrible acting, horrible special effects, and a little comedy mixed in. If they produced an actual great film we'd probably give it 1 star due to extreme confusion.
We start off 2 days before Christmas (Oh Boy! Sid's favorite) with Toy maker Robert Toulon (Corey Feldman) as he and his daughter work on the puppet master puppets. Toulon is the family that gave birth to these puppets and now their lives belong to Robert who cares for them. The only issue is they aren't alive anymore which forces Robert to go nuts trying to find a serum that will revive them. Batch after batch won't work until he accidentally cuts himself and blood drips into the mix. Once he does that it starts bubbling up and changing colors. He injects the mix into the puppets and within a few minutes they are back to life. The puppets are actually good and live to protect Feldman's family. Who would've thought the uber B Feldman was a genius scientist in charge of ressurecting puppet b? Now that the puppets are alive you see Robert's house has a hidden camera which a rival Toy company has planted to see if he would ever bring the puppets back. The evil owner of the rival company is Erica Sharpe (Vanessa Angel) who is bent on controlling the puppets. Now to add the even more b element is Vanessa Angel who you may remember from Wierd Science. No, not the movie but the early 90's tv series. There a well earned star right there. In order for her to control the puppets she must call upon her own pint sized creatures the Demonic Toys. These consist of a jack in the box clown, and teddy bear, and a baby doll with a truck drivers mouth. The baby is hilarious! He talks very much like a gruff well known midget actor who will remain nameless (another star earned) as he yells out things like "shut up b***h." In order to get the toys to do their evil deeds they make a pact with the devil who wants Robert's daughter sacrificed by sun up or else Vanessa will be banished to the underworld.
Now that the pact has been made Vanessa sends out a crew to kidnap the daughter and the puppets to bring to her headquarters. Once they abduct them Robert is notified that he must be escorted to the sacrifice if he wishes to see his daughter again. Once there he tells the puppets to awake and they bust out of their crate ready to kill. We now have an extremely b puppet/toy fight where they pulled out all the special effects Full Moon had to offer, which must have amounted to $7.50 tops. In the end we have the puppets as the victorious ones saving the world from the wrath of 3 killer toys.
As far as Full Moon goes this one's got it. It's there typical campy horror movie but so much fun to watch. It just screams a slot on tv around 2 in the morning. If you are thinking of checking this one out then you must know what to expect. The acting is bad especially from Corey Feldman who is pretending to be like a 50 year old guy, but changes nothing except putting a little grey color in his hair and talking with a scratchier voice. The special effects are nearly non exsitent and the one that are look hilarious. There are no scares but it's so entertaining watching these puppets run around it doesn;t matter. We fully recommend this one for a good time.
Summary 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!Horror DVD Video
