Blade the Iron Cross

Please, We've had enough Nazi movies. We get it. Nazi = bad. Move on. This has been done to death. It's hard to fault the cast, as they were fed a script that must have been extremely difficult to derive motivation from, but I'm not sure I would be excited to watch this a second time if a years salary were offered to view its entirety.

This stinker is bad. Really bad. The so called "plot" feels like it was written in one boring afternoon by somebody with very limited creativity. And it all seems so dreary - it has that "cramped stage with almost all action pushed up against a wall" feel. Camera work is constantly out of focus, sound is hashed up in places and the Set Props are beyond laughable! Yeah this one is a dead donkey and I do wish I could get back the time watching this horror-ible film. 1 star - as I can not rate it any lower...

Would have been made in 1960 by Mario Bava Would have been a masterpiece

Special effects are very dated And acting amatorial A part from the main woman The idea and storyline is quite good

Might be a remake in future with bigger budgets

Blade: The Iron Cross (2020) is available on Amazon Prime for $6.99. The story focuses around a journalist who has a telekinetic connection with an infamous puppet from Puppet Master, Blade. Together they try to stop the Germans from creating a death ray. This movie officially makes my top 3-4 worst Puppet Master films. The storyline, acting and execution are awful. John Lechago (Killjoy 3-5) directed and really disappointed me with this film. The kill scenes were okay but nothing else was worthwhile. The cast includes Tania Fox (Puppet Master Axis trilogy), Vincent Cusimano (Betrayed), Roy Abrahamson (Betrayed) and Angelica Briones (John Henry) and none of them deliver memorable performances. Overall this is very disappointing and only worth watching for diehard fans of Puppet Master. I'd give this a 3/10.

Its very low budget and has some problems with time period accuracy in regards to props and other things, but if you have a serious aversion to these kinds of issues then I'm not sure how you're even aware this film exists. This has the Full Moon charm without the trying-to-be-funny-bad-cheesiness present in so much of their modern catalogue. The story almost feels like some offshoot of Reanimator with the animation solution being used by a Nazi mad scientist to experiment on dead humans. I was expecting much worse, but this is an enjoyable late night viewing & the short runtime works to the film's advantage.
