Editorial Reviews

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!

1.0 out of 5 stars Horribly disrespectful to two franchises., October 3, 2006

This review is from: Puppetmaster vs. Demonic Toys (DVD)

Look I know Full Moon went under but who knew that the next time we'd see the Puppet Master dolls it would be this awful? The plot is worse than even the worst of the Puppet Master original series titles, the acting makes the Full Moon actors look like Oscar Winners and the puppets aren't even close to the real deal!

I guess the easiest question I have is, Why even buy the rights to a franchise if you're not going to use the signatures of the franchise in the first film you make with it? Blade, Six Shooter, Jester, Pinhead are replicated in this movie so poorly it looks as if an 8 year old art student made them. Pinhead's hands even appear to be clay.

Worse is the movements. They don't have any of the fluent movements that were trademark to how the puppets looked real and there are scenes where there are massive amounts of strings showing everywhere. It's embarrassing to say the least.

The puppets weren't talkers before but they made sounds. This time they were completely mute. I wish I could have said the same for Corey Feldman who used to know how to act but in this movie comes off so over the top it's impossible to care about him or feel any sense of empathy for his character oncesoever. Most of the time you're wishing you had a gun to shoot yourself with so you could end his speaking parts.

The Demonic Toys look different and if possible even more cheap than before also. Full Moon might not have had the greatest actors, scripts or special effects but they usually spent a sufficient amount of time, money and energy on making the dolls (the stars of their movies) look good.

There is another small glitch in this movie that will annoy the fans of the Puppet Master franchise. Somehow Toulon's blood is needed for the formula to keep the dolls alive. The formula is now injected into holes in the back of the puppet's necks. For casual fans this is not a big deal, for longtime fans they know Toulon's blood had nothing to do with the formula and in part Three Toulon clearly injects them in the front of the neck area in a way that made it clear that as long as they got an injection, the puppets were fine.

Vanessa Angel is not a bad actress and has a million dollar body but she's stuck in a role and a movie that screams "I just want to collect a paycheck".

The Puppet Master theme music is blatantly absent as is the entire feel of the Full Moon series. The actors are horrible and seem to have to pause through lines in order to spit out the script they were supposed to remember and although the Demonic Toys franchise is much smaller I'm sure their fans felt disrespected by how marginalized their toys were to Angel's character, Sharpe.

Full Moon had this project announced before they folded. If only they had completed this then and not let Sci Fi skimp and cheat their way into trashing two beloved cult franchises with one movie that is so blatantly bad that it even loses the appeal of goofy and cheesy that so many second and third rate horror films fall into.

Avoid at all costs if you like either series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Christmas in July laughs thanks to Corey Feldman and his terrible acting, July 13, 2009

This review is from: Puppetmaster vs. Demonic Toys (DVD)

As an avid fan of Full Moon productions, and their horrible films, I just had to watch Puppet Master vs. Demonic Toys. The first thing I found out was that this film has nothing to do with Full Moon except for it's puppet characters. Charles Band often receives credit as the Executive Producer but had nothing to do with the film. Full Moon originally planned to do the film as part of a mini-series in the 90's, but they had to drop the idea when they didn't have the funds to get the job done. They must have really hit a low point since it couldn't possibly take much money to make any feature they do. Thankfully the Sci-Fi channel stepped in to grab the idea and do the movie under their studio and now we have a mess of a Christmas movie with killer puppets.

Taking place in California, the nephew of deceased Toy maker Andre Toulon Robert Toulon (Feldman) is now the owner of the Toulon Doll Hospital. As he continues to find a formula to bring the puppets to life he accidentally comes to find his blood is the missing ingredient to doing just that. Once he gets the serum finished he injects the Puppet Master puppets and back to life they are. The only problem is rivaled company Share Toys, run by the evil Erica Sharpe (Vanessa Angel), have been spying on Robert in hoped of finding this serum for their own Demonic Toys. They want to create these toys in time for the Holidays so Christmas morning each household will be slayed by the evil gifts. Talk about spreading holiday cheer huh? Once Robert finds out their sick plot he gets his puppets together and they have the ultimate b battle royal.

I have to say this one will be a new favorite in the holiday collection. Not for it's good acting or well written script but for the hours of laughter it provided. Corey Feldman was simply awful. He is supposed to be an older scientist type but just looks like himself with some cheap gray hair coloring. He also talks raspy somehow thinking that will add the years. It really was just perfect for my expectations. For any fan of the Puppet Master or Demonic Toys series this one is a must.

4.0 out of 5 stars Corey Feldman gets out acted by inanimate objects. Fantastic!, October 9, 2008

By 

Sid the Elf (North Pole) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Puppetmaster vs. Demonic Toys (DVD)

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.
