Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich

And I would argue more "fun". That is if you are not looking for morally responsible jokes or are not someone who is easily offended. The jokes are premature I reckon and there is a lot of blood and a lot of nudity. There is also a lot of quite disturbing humor. Now you may not find certain things funny, calling the movie "serious" though would be missing the point entirely (you sure you watched the right Puppet Master movie?).

You don't even have to have seen all the previous entries (something I did) to have fun with this. You may enjoy certain parts more than others, but overall this works as a stand alone. And while the "love story/part" of the movie may be considered serious, it is not as big a part that should make this movie less of a party film. Some attendees at the festival may have gone way off limit with their cheering, but the movie does support that kind of behaviour overall. Not for the squeamish, rather for those who just want to shut off, sit back and enjoy mayhem on screen

It's not your typical horror movie with puppets. It's got some great writing by S. Craig Zahler which elevated the movie the way Shane Black can do.

I thnink people are giving this bad reviews because it takes a while to get to the action. And frankly, I liked the beginning character development more than the horror part.

It was smart and funny and different.

Make sure you see Zahler's other movies! Especially one of my fav films of 2019 -- Dragged Across Concrete

Simple review: Those who are fans of old school slashers and the Puppet Master franchise will enjoy this movie, because you already know what you're going to get. It's gory, it's stupid, it's fun... If you do not like old school gory slasher movies, then why would you even consider watching this?

It's not entirely clear to me whether "The Littlest Reich" is a remake of the cult semi-classic "Puppet Masters", or just another 318th-or-so sequel. Let's just agree it's an addition to the long-running franchise, and the greatest addition since 1991 for that matter! It clearly looks like this film was written (S. Craig Zahler) and directed (Sonny Laguna & Tommy Wirklund) by avid fans of the 1989-original and its first couple of sequels, and they were probably very upset with how the series deteriorate afterwards. Let's bring the essence back, is what they must have thought, so "The Littlest Reich" is a straightforward and unhinged gorefest with nasty killer puppets, very imaginative slaughters, odd characters and a whole lot of bad and politically incorrect humor. The movie doesn't have much of a plot (the original didn't either) or any suspense whatsoever, but it's never boring and once the bloody carnage kicks in; - it never stops. We are talking here about a movie in which a cut off head end up in toilets and gets peed on, and an unborn fetus is being transformed into a crawling mini-Hitler; - what else can I say? Maybe one more thing: Udo Kier briefly appears as André Toulon, and the film stars Barbara Crampton who's sixty years old but still sexy!

Well, I don't understand the excuse of this reboot for just bad cheap gory scenes, actually more of the same for our current era. Meaning, this movie made now could be interesting to watch in 1989 but definitely NOT NOW!!! Probable not even with a joint you can watch this as entertaining. Watch at your own risk.
