A twist on the Frankenstein story, with some clever special effects adding a little interest to the usual slasher narrative.

Entertaining variation on the _Trilogy of Terror_-_Child's Play_ killer doll theme. Fun but uninvolving, this has a totally out-of-place kinky sex subplot and a cast that alternately sends it up and plays it straight. The FX work is great, with David Allen's puppet creations clever enough to charm as well as chill.

Dull, poorly acted, poorly shot, and full of horror cliches. God, I got so sick of the p.o.v. shots from the puppets' perspectives. Once the killer puppets have been shown, it's time to lose the "mysterious" p.o.v. shots! It just seems lazy to keep using them. I did enjoy some of the details of the way the puppets looked and behaved, but they needed a lot more stop motion to bring them to life and a lot less peeking around corners with a hand up their backs.

Embarrassing horror movie about totally unscary killer widgets devised so that the Full Moon marketing people could sell toys. Sort of like those "G.I. Joe", et al. afternoon cartoons that are really advertising for kids to buy *their* crap

Hits the wrong note by bringing in a bunch of psychics who then just sit around waiting to be killed. This one's purely saved by the puppets and the old school SFX.

Clumsy, talky script helped by (too scant) special effects by David Allen Productions.

I simply love this: killer puppets. Sylvia Anderson take note...

Once you get over the initial excitement of seeing how each puppet gets the job done, this is basically a waste of time. "He has a drill head. I can't wait to see him drill things with his head." (Puppet drills a person with its head.) "Oh, great."

Mostly for the kids. Basically, a gateway drug to real horror, but not good enough to satisfy more mature audiences. It still tries, though, much to its detriment.
