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.

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.

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, an enjoyable movie.

This movie is a decent watch, it's not a bad movie at all. Low budget, bit of awkwardness to it but thats the Puppet Master spirit.

Titled "Blade" I was hoping we finally got a standalone gore fest movie with the puppets by his side, but this wasnt that and I feel it was a bit of wasted potential otherwise it's a decent movie.

Oh dear Lord, here it is: the 15th installment of the Puppetmaster franchise...and it is just as terrible as you'd expect, but were still hoping it wouldn't be.

Truthfully, the original wasn't very good-with the exception of William Hickey's sweet cameo-but at least there was some attempt at coherent storytelling, honest scares and the fascinating introduction of weird, killer puppets. But this latest, cheap, balding retread can only afford one puppet-Blade-who spends the majority of the movie inanimate and the rest attacking people from over their shoulders as if (and I'm pretty darn sure this was the case) someone had a Blade puppet on their hand like a Muppet with no arms.

The story doesn't really matter because it's stupid. The acting is second-rate, the script is purile and it has the cheap look of a made for SyFy Channel movie. The only reason I gave it an extra star was because at least the nudity was pleasant.

I, like many horror fans, have a soft spot for Puppetmaster. Just that great theme music alone is a nice memory-and they even butchered that up. And as long as they can keep squeezing a buck out of fans who keep hoping for that original feeling of affection-much like those people who keep thinking if they can only get Doug Bradley to come back then Hellraiser will be awesome again-the movie studios will continue beating a dead horse no matter how inhumane and tragic. Please, put the puppets away and find a new toy.
