I've been a fan of the puppet master franchise since I was a kid, and they've always been low budget and a little campy, which is half the charm.
Unfortunately this iteration takes this to the extreme and totally ruins what could've been a fun film to watch.
From the outset the camera work is shocking, jutters when panning across scene and hardly ever square on, leaving you struggling to focus. The music is pretty much constant in every scene which is really off putting, especially when it's just dialogue and no action.
The acting is absolutely terrible, I've seen better at the local amateur dramatic society and school performances, it's as if the just don't care.
The special effects are just as bad, nothing looking the slightest bit real and difficult to watch because of the quality.
This is one of the few films I wish I'd never have watched. Don't waste your time with this one, I'd burn all copies and erase it from existence.
