I love the Puppet Master movies. The storylines are fun even if they are not completely believable. The puppets are beautiful and loyal. I am forever a Blade fan and that alone makes these movies great. This one is great and the entire series is worth watching.

I initially looked at this film expecting to see a horrible movie, but was pleasantly surprised to see one of the best horror movies ever! The special effects were pretty good for a horror movie of that time period, and the acting was decent. I recommend this for anyone who liked movies like Night of the Demons or Subspecies.

I watch a B-movie with my brother every saturday. most of it is [bad] but this one is the best I have ever seen. the sequels [are bad] ecspecially retro, they almost put the first one to shame. But this one is number 1 out of the 28 dvds I have ever seen.

I can't believe it! I finally found Puppet Master! I got it on DVD but, Amazon didn't give me the choice of reviewing a DVD version. I guess they didn't know that there was a DVD version out there but, now you know! It is very hard to find but, once you have found it you will be satisfied! For this DVD includes VIDEOZONE Magazine with interviews, and a behind the scenes look at the making of Puppet Master! It has merchandise, tells you their web site and address just in case you want to mail them! You also get a Trailer! This movie has great acting, great puppets, a great plot, and a great DVD to go along with it!
This is how the back of the DVD describes the Puppet Master!
Alex Whittaker, played by Paul Le Mat (Melvin & Howard, The Burning Bed), and three other gifted psychics are investigating rumors that the secret of life has been discovered by master puppeteer Andre Toulon, played by William Hickey (Prizzi's Honor, The Name Of The Game). But the psychics quickly discover Toulon's secret of death in the form of five killer puppets-each one uniquely qualified for murder and mayhem. Tunneler has a nasty habit of boring holes in people with his drill bit head. Ms.Leech regurgitates killer leeches that suck her victims dry. Pinhead strangles his enemies with his powerful vice-like hands. Blade has a gleaming hook for one hand and a razor-sharp knife for the other. And Jester, the ruthless brains of the bunch, is absolutely merciless. Together, they're an army of skilled assassins, diabolically programmed to guard the deadly secrets of the Puppet Master. Special effects wizard, David Allen (Willow, Batteries Not Included), brings Toulon's killer puppets magically to life with the incredible flair that earned him an an Academy Award Nomination for his work on Ypung Sherlock Holmes.

The puppets are awesome because, they are these little to toys that you think are harmless but, they turn around and kill your... when you don't expect it! The gore effects are really good! The movie is really good! Also I believe that this is Full Moon's best effort yet! Buy this movie!

I wasn't expecting the best quality from this straight to video release, but my only complaint is that the movie is not shown in widescreen format, as indicated on the back of the clamshell, and in Amazon's description.

dvd- this movie didnt improve much over the vhs version. on the movie back, it said 'widesrceen' and the movie didnt have that option and the picture was a little vhs-like in like 2 spots.

movie- this as a movie is a great and fun film. it was funny to see small puppets come to life and kill people. its about a guy who uses voodoo to give his own hand-made puppets life and kill. i really dont know what to say about this movie but get it it is a great horror flick. if you already have the vhs version dont bother wit the dvd but if you dont have it at all get the dvd i guess.
