Curse of the Puppet Master (1998)


Picking up where I left off 13 years ago...
A mad scientist attempts to replicate André Toulon's experiment of creating life by transferring souls into hand-carved wooden puppets. Actual results vary. Originally intended as a "standalone" sequel to the franchise, it's pretty much been accepted into canon as they've continued to pump out sequels with regularity over the years. This is not a good movie by any stretch of the imagination, but it gets points for a couple of interesting ideas and some haunting imagery that leaves a lasting impression. Regardless, this is for diehard fans of the series only.

Oh, my. That's a direct line to the past. Bravo, sir.

My poor ribs.
