Puppet Master Movie Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 лип 2024
- Full Moon didn't always churn out movies where the low budget was quite so obvious. Back in the day, they sought to stretch their budgets as far as they could go. That brings us to the start of one of Full Moon's most prolific properties, Puppet Master.
While there are like.. 14, or 15 movies by now, the original came out in 1989 as your standard Full Moon direct to VHS production. You don't have to go all out in these affairs, it's about dolls coming to life and causing a horror movie to happen, but you might be surprised just how deep the lore goes in the first outing alone...
...you also might be surprised that it ever spawned any sequel, let alone so many.

The puppetmaster series is best in the entries where the puppets are fighting Nazis - or demons. They rewrite the backstory so much it gets hard to follow
i mean i personally think any franchise is at it's peak when it's about killing nazis.
Yup they dont even make it past 3 before retcons come.
@@angrybrony bonus points of you force the souls of Nazis to work the magic dolls to kill more Nazis.
@@angrybrony
You mean hiding or being killed by them?
Yeah I once watched a bunch of them and saw three different origin stories for how they were brought to life. One being a syrum from the brain another was blood magic personally my favorite one was the elixer of life used to make them move in world war 2 nazi germany. Atleast I think thats what it was. It was a different take on the syrum idea only this time it didnt require brain fluid to be made it was made by some other means. Its been awhile since I saw it.
This series is honestly a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine. They aren't the best but they have their own kind of charm.
Hell yeah they have mad charm! Especially the first 3 but really like the first 5 or 6 are fun! I don’t care for the newer ones or retro ones
Was on ammo dump guard duty in the Army. Sergeant asked what movies we wanted him to rent for us to watch that night. I said Puppet Masters, meaning the alien invasion one. He came back with this. We had a hell of a good time laughing at this delightfully silly movie.
Had a simmilar experience with another movie. Family were having a horror movie night one Halloween, I suggest American Werewolf in London, what my Dad came back with was A Werewolf in England. Shit was B Movie comedy gold and kind of impressive at some points even though it was obviously low budget.
Hahahaha damn I never got to watch movies on watch that woulda made it go by much faster lol
For a minute, I thought you were about to announce “THE SUMMER OF PUPPET MASTER!”, but I guess not. Can’t wait to see what the summer special is going to be this year.
I know right. I mean it still could happen but less likely because he would have to have the whole series on hand. I dont know. But one could dream.
Decker: "BUT IT WAS ALL- JUST A DREAM!"
If he did.
DER SOMMER DES PUPPET MASTER!
THE SUMMER OF Wish Master ?
@@ChairView - There’s only four, and he already did all four.
@@shadowdramon01 The last two were the worst of the four movies. I honestly think Wishmaster 2 is the best one
Finally Decker is reviewing one of my favorite horror franchises ever!!!
I'd say that this is one of the better movies from Full Moon, but it's still more hilarious than scary.
Full moon features where my childhood
Loved this movie and all of Full Moon movies when I was a kid. The behind the scenes featurettes was what got me into the art of filmmaking. Before that I never knew how movies got made.
The Videozone was a great piece to pad out the lack of runtime of some of these movies. I loved them and still watch them on Tubi.
I was really hoping this would end with the announcement that we have now entered... THE SUMMER OF PUPPET MASTER!!!
You mean it wasn't? Damn. (Reading comments before vid even ends haha)
Yeah, surprised me too.
This series, the first 5 movies anyway, have a very special place in my heart. The theme song, particularly. They were a favorite series of my friend and I in high school. We both *loved* Full Moon. I am *so* glad you're doing this. This series deserve a lot more love.
"Don't touch the body!"
delivery + line = GOLD
So that's what the second german line was? I can guess the first one was, "And the body count has started!" based on the way he said it
Nevermind. Different scene
If one of the intros for The Summer of Puppet Master does not involve him dancing to Bye Bye Bye, I've lost faith in humanity
I was just watching for the "it was all just a dream" but got a dream within a dream... classic Decker 😄
Summer event in the middle of summer. Must be Decker Shado. Can't wait for the event to end in October.
Oh yeah the creepy dolls genre. I remember watching a lot of these movie late at night when I was still in high school.
Just watched this movie with my gf recently. Absolutely fun ride
*Gasp* Summer of Puppet Master?!
I remember haunting Blockbusters and renting all the Full Moon movies. I miss video rental stores.
As a kid, I rented every Full Moon/Empire movie I could find. Maybe that's what's wrong with me.
Hey man! I've requested this a couple of times now and know you have a plan for MANY summer specials to come! But i would really LOVE to see "THE SUMMER OF DARIO ARGENTO" at some point! All his movies spanning from 1970-1987 which are horror! That's 7 movies in total excluding suspiria which you've already reviewed (LOVED that review by the way, and spiked my interest for this even more!!). Please OH PLEASE let this happen at some point! Even if i have to wait like 10 years before you're able to do this!
Never clicked so fast. One of my favorite horror series finally getting some attention from one of my favorite youtubers. Thanks deck
I watched six of these last weekend they were amazing
I like how of the course of the series, the puppets go from villains, to antiheroes to hero characters. I also always loved the theme and music from the early ones
I'd kinda like to see that idea with Jason Voorhees. You can't make Freddy or Michael a hero. Jason is sympathetic & he kind of was the hero in FvJ.
@@youngtate3891 Definitely. Especially since Freddy is a child murder. And possibly a child molester, but I don’t remember them ever coming flat out and saying that except in the remake, but that don’t count.
Jason is definitely antihero capable as he is just get revenge for what happened to him and his mother, at least in his head that is.
FINALLY, YESS I have been waiting for a Puppet Master Episode. Thank you Decker
This is one of those movies that the cover art is what compelled me to rent it at Blockbuster video and that’s how I got into the franchise as a kid, back in the day that’s how you picked some times when you had no other criteria to go by you couldn’t just Google reviews it was all about the cover
Puppet Master? Hell, yeah! Can't wait for the whole series.
He’s only reviewing this one
@@everardo2345 Bummer. Oh well, this is good enough for now.
In for a damn rabbit hole covering these movies. Look forward to seeing the rest.
You surprise me, Decker. Thought you were going to announce at the end it was THE SUMMER OF PUPPET MASTER. 😉 Not sure what you have in mind this year, but guessing that isn't it.
As always thank you so very much for the video.
And a shout out to Stunt Woman Cindy Sorensen whose fists were used for the Pinhead punching scenes.
The thing I love about Puppet Master as they all have unique designs that you could find in a doll store
@DeckerShado I have an interesting request, Dee Snider's StrangeLand, Robert England is in it, it's a 90s cult movie that I believe deserves more recognition for how much it pushed the boundaries & was ahead of it's time.
The first pupet master movie was kinda Brutal, go Decker !!!
pin through the heart was an old school Victorian way of seeing if someone was dead. The idea was that if they were alive the pin would move with their heart beat. Obviously it wasn’t very popular because even if it did prove they were alive, they probably wouldn’t be for long
God I love this movie, It was basically my intro into horror as a whole!
Love your vids man!
The sonic joke killed me xD
Awesome. When you want to cover entry in the franchise it will be late 2023 until you finish. There are a lot of entries, spin offs and remakes.
Nah you can pretty much binge watch the entire franchise over a few days they aren't super long movies
@@markpugh6808 True. But Decker covers one movie a week at best, copyright strikes and more are battling with the schedule. That can make for a long marathon. And beside that, from 3 onwards the quality becomes more and more non existent with each movie. Even Asylum made better movies and I fear that Decker will not hold up at some point.
I watched this with my baby girl (age nine) and she laughed and said "how fake. You can tell it's fake." I told her not to judge and listen to the story line. She rolled her eyes and called me a weirdo 😂
Your daughter clearly has a future as an internet critic.
@@thegreatstoneddragon9432 Probably. We saw the IT remake chapter two 8n theaters and they had one of the workers dress up like pennywise and pop out and random times. In the lobby kids were crying and running, my kid ran right up to him and offered him some Skittles lol. She's one of a kind
Belt emoji
It's an honor that our children should be smarter than us
I watched this with my baby cat (age nine) and she yawned and said “meow. meow meow mrrrp mrrrp meow.” I told her not to be such a pussy and pay attention to the fast twitchy moving puppets. She yawned again and sprayed all over my face expressing absolute disgust in not giving her the right amount of food she desired 😂
With so many sequels I know we all were excited for “the summer of Puppet Master”. Got us Decker. Lol.
That "Sonic the Hedgehog" line was comedy perfection, lmao 😂
I'm really liking how, after conceding to UA-cam's demand to ask people to like and Subscribe, you took the time to weave them into your reviews in funny and interesting ways. It really adds to the comedy.
YES! I know most of these movies are goofy but its ,my favorite franchise even if the last...several movies where..not great. Glad you picked this one Decker.
"...und *why* did [Sonic] have a 3-foot erection?"
"Their fanbase is... diverse, ma'am."
And I chalked the green blood up to being embalming fluid, what with him being a corpse and all.
Thank you Decker this is one of the great B movie series.
Puppet master rules 🤘🏻❤️
Love this franchise. Are you gonna cover vs demonic toys?
*NOW IF I CAN GET LEPRECHAUN SERIES DONE I CAN DIE HAPPY*
Ah yes. Always a good day when Decker uploads.
I really enjoy the movies from Puppet Master that I've seen. Although I became a little obsessed with it when I found out it was released the day before I was born
I loved this movie when I was a kid! Thank you, sir for bringing back the memories.
I remember watching some of these films on the now Defunct UPN network.
I love the german gag xD And creative naming of video parts and "like and subscribe: segment :D. Movie looks interesting and nice that they added cute dogat the end :).
I did like the premise that the puppet weren't evil but the master which is why I like the puppets as good guys in later movies. It was a nice change from the time worn evil toys trope.
I do wonder how much of a fan o this movie was the writer of Vibes because there are a few bits that seem familiar
Decker and killer dolls. How nostalgic!
Not sure if we’re getting a summer special this year, but this literally should have been it lol. I actually forgot all about this series.
It'd be well into fall before it's over. Or Decker would start seeing his doppelganger again
@@vincentmarcellino7183 lol it been a great series to see his point of view on. However yes it would be long lol
Aw man, I was half expecting this to roll right into "The SUMMER OF PUPPET MASTEEEEEERRRR!!!" (I mean, it seemed logical to me in the moment, given how many damn sequels there are).
I was hoping Decker was gonna call it the summer of puppets lol
AMAZING THEY ARE JUST BLATANTLY COMING OUT TO OUR FACES
Such a great classic horror movie
After all these years- Decker gets around to my favorite franchise! Can't wait!
-Took you long enough for the next episode!
-But it was only a week.
-Still too long to wait for the next great episode!
Absolutely love the Puppet master franchise
I’ve been wanting a puppet master review from you Decker! Thank you so much!
About time man. So glad to see you doing this, hope you do the entire series ;)
First time I watched this I thought that when Clarissa died she turned into the puppet spitting leeches. But it’s just another puppet not Clarissa, she just dead.
Wonderful review, I like the changes you made to your format and the increased quality of your work, Decker. Keep up the good work !
Okay, I saw this when I was 12 back in 1990, and I have to say this was one of my favorite movies as a kid. Likewise, you can say what you want but they actually did do an amazing job at making an actually entertaining horror movie with such a limited budget ( a reported $400,000 ). Which, seeing as there have been films that cost 2 to 3 million dollars to make that aren't even half as good as this... Yeah, I honestly love this movie. Now go review the 1982 "Cat People" already...
My first Puppet master film was pt 2 when Blade killed that couple after he turned out the lights made me afraid to enter a dark room. Then years later me and my brother got to see pt 3 with he puppet master surviving nazi Germany which was the best one out of the entire series and then part four which they get to fight little demons
So I will be honest I saw your update video and you talking about this in it and how it was a good step forward. I have been watching you for a long long while now and happy to say I love the come back with everything. Great to see your doing good. Was gonna also say I miss your video game videos as well and you playing series but I understand that doing this channel full time can be a lot but regardless always loved your videos and your reviews!
I love the shirt selection this season!! And great use of the CC! Cheers Decker
I love your reviews Decker! I know things are hard for you right now but I still love your channel.
THANK YOU LMAO. I was like how tf is no one seeing the puppet run. And yeah the opening had me confused a bit to.
And even tho they dont look threatening i just assumed they have supernatural traits so since hes the strongman puppet his punch is probably the force of an average or above average man.
always love your reviews Decker
The reminders to like and subscribe more often lately has definitely gotten you some likes this particular commenter would have forgotten to give, js. Awesome review as always!
Great job man with all the new stuff in ur videos good luck with the algorithm
5:20 POV: You go to deep on Deviantart.
What? No Summer of Puppet Master?! Whatever you have planned for the summer better be greater than Puppet Master 4.
Still hard to believe this series has continued to thrive through sequels by the David DeCoteau, the director of *A Talking Cat!?!* I do agree the movie is rough in many regards, but the puppets are still very creative, with their setting and premise at a creepy rundown hotel being very reminiscent of The Shining. Full Moon hasn't disappointed me yet after watching flicks like Subspecies, Doctor Mordrid, Dragonworld, and The Gingeread Man, feeling like the more successful mockbuster company than the Asylum. Great review, Decker✌😁
I love this trilogy , it was a personal favourite back in the day
Looks like something you'd see in an episode of tales from the crypt
Love the reviews Decker
His bloods green because that's the secret sauce they fill the muppets with, if it wasn't clear in this movie it is in other parts of the series.
I have been waiting for this review my whole life
Great review Decker, keep 'em coming..please do the entire series I'd love to see your take/point of view on each of them...
I have this entire franchise (all 12 movies, including the spin-off film Blade:The Iron Cross) on HD Blu-Ray (all digitally restored and remastered) in a limited edition collectible trunk (made to look like André Toulon's trunk from the movies).
Me and my girlfriend watched the entire series recently (a re-watch for me and a 1st time watch for her). She liked most of the films and a few of the puppets are her favorites (they are Blade, Jester, Tunneler, Pinhead & Six-Shooter...she really doesn't like Leach Woman though 😝). She (as well as I) can't wait for the upcoming spin-off film 'Doctor Death' (based off of the puppets from Retro Puppet Master - the 7th film in the series)....
I am so excited. I have been waiting for you to do puppet Master series. Time to set up the watch party.
The 2nd Puppetmaster freaked me out as a kid. Watching it now, and seeing all the cable they used to move the puppets, or in some cases just flat out throw them at actors. The imagination of a child.
F yes! I grew up on puppet master, hellraiser and beetle juice. Thank you for this awesome review Mr Decker
Muppet Paster! Nostalgia. The best miniature punches ever.
Now we're all waiting for the ultimate sequel: Puppetmaster X
In a non-descript year sometime in the near future, all puppets are for real definitely destroyed. But in the far, far future, Earth has become uninhabitable and mankind has sought refuge on other planets. An expedition to Earth finds a pomeranian in pristine condition, who has somehow survived everything... for a very long time.
They take the dog with them to space, where the pomeranian uses Ancient Egyptian Magic to give life to some space junk and wreak havoc on the ship.
I loved the Puppet Master and the sequels and cross-over movies. Sci-fic would do a marathon of it.
I've Seen The First Four PuppetMaster Movies In One Saturday, And I LOVE IT!!!
You and Tenold, my fav movie reviewers!
I remember being a kid and having to sneak to watch this movie at my aunt's house she thought it would be to scary for me and my cousin LOL we loved it and wanted the puppets great reviews Decker your the best on UA-cam keep up the great work brother
I’m a new subscriber to the channel, and I just happened upon the Jason Goes To Hell review, and was hooked! I’m loving the reviews and I dig the humor!
Decker, you're really good at longform summaries of movie plots! I reckon you have what it takes to maybe even go into reviewing one day.
I've always had a soft spot for the Puppet Master series. My best friend's growing up (and still to this day) father owned a video store as a side business so growing up he pretty much had full access to the store lol. Saw many age inappropriate movie lmao
I love this franchise even if they change the backstory every entry.
Entertaining and fun video as always
I really appreciate the man with the best hair making his like and subscribe things skits within the review.
13:26 "One snap later and Dana is hobbling around like her leg is broken, BECAUSE IT IS!" hahahahahaha
Hoping this is the start of the SUMMER OF THE PUPPET MASTER!
Okay the spooky bath part made me laugh. Subscribed
Oh nice, been waiting for this series!
