Puppet Master III (1992)

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I reckon this is the first one where we really establish the Puppets as "good". If you fight one of the "ultimate" evils (bear with me on this one or play along), than you have to be good, no matter how evil you are yourself. Or at least how mean and vicious, not to mention entirely violent and murderous. But that's the tale of the Puppets.And their master of course. The one in the movie and the ones behind the scenes of the movie, doing a really good job controlling them - pun intended. Effects are nice and the story may take us back, but I guess you have to stick with the story - or not. You know just watch it for the deaths and carnage. Whatever works for you. I reckon movie wise this is the best I've seen yet (up to movie 7 at this point).

This a great prequel. The first two Puppet master movies were great movie. This is better. This movie has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. Puppet master 4 and Puppet master 5 are better. This a great movie. It is very scary. It is better then The Shinning. And that is not easy to do. This is better then A Nightmare on elm street and that is not easy to do. It got a 6.1 and that is good ratting. But this is such a great film that 6.1 is underrating it. I give it 10 out of 10. It is very scary. This is one of the scariest movies I have ever seen. If you like a good horror story then you should see this movie It is awesome. This is one of the best horror movies from 1991. See it. It is a great movie.

Set in Berlin, Germany circa 1941, "Puppetmaster III: Toulon's Revenge" naturally finds the titular puppets battling Nazis who are intent on using their magic for evil (you know, something more evil than stop-motion puppets coming to life to kill). A prequel to the improbable DTV franchise, "Toulon's Revenge" brings up a few inconsistencies with the previous films, all of which are forgiven for the sake of entertainment.Like the previous "Puppet Master" flicks (and every other Charles Band/Full Moon production), "Toulon's Revenge" is low on production value and often skimps on cohesiveness. The real meat of the story concerns Andre Toulon, the Puppet Master himself, and the origins of his deadly minions. We are treated to an explanation of his work, as well as the introduction of Six Shooter, a six-armed puppet with the tiniest bullets ever seen by Nazi eyes. Unlike other films in the franchise, the victims here truly deserve everything they have coming to them, which only ups the entertainment value. A "Hellraiser"- esque scene where the head Nazi is strung up as a living marionette is truly a must-see moment."Puppet Master III" is not fine or remarkable film-making. What it is, however, is perfect late-night and/or sick-day fodder. Pure entertainment that will slap a grin on any B-movie fan's face. It also happens to be arguably the best entry in the entire series and makes for a perfect entry point if one finds the task of hunting down the seemingly countless sequels a bit too daunting.

After an average opener and one needless sequel in PUPPET MASTER II, PUPPET MASTER III: TOULON'S REVENGE is something of a surprise. The producers are still trying to find out a way to continue the franchise after the actor who played Toulon in the original died, so they opt here for a prequel format set in Nazi Germany, no less.The biggest twist this time around is that Toulon and his puppets are presented as the good guys - I guess those Nazis trump everybody in terms of 'evilness', even homicidal mass murderers. Yeah, it's best to forget about the first two films when watching this. In TOULON'S REVENGE, the puppet master has his wife murdered by the corrupt regime, so he sends his dolls on a rampage of revenge against the Nazis.Most of the film consists of various Nazis being murdered by the dolls in creative ways. The special effects are shoddy but mildly charming, and there seems to be a little more originality here than in other B-movies; this is a huge step up from the previous movie, for example. The cast is studded with the expected likes of Richard Lynch and Michelle Bauer, although the most surprising scene comes when Bond's Walter Gotell shares a bath with a bevy of topless beauties. There's something else you weren't expecting...
