Puppet Master vs. Demonic Toys (2004)


With so much prior assembly required, what should have been an incredible concept ends up being a massive disappointment. Sadly, this was a SyFy Channel original movie, which means it was completely neutered for television standards. That means no gore, F-bombs or tits, so what's the point? Corey Feldman stars as André Toulon's great-grandnephew (which doesn't mean jack shit), but that doesn't make up for what potential was lost in this soulless corporate and creative compromise. On top of everything, this is considered more of a Christmas movie than horror. It attempts to pit the good guys (puppets) against the bad guys (toys), and it just plain sucks. Not even a self-censoring Baby Oopsie Daisy was enough to save this one.
