Oh joy- another killer Puppet. I needed one more for my punch card.
What do I win? More Full Moon Films?
Joy.
Sadly, it's not Paul Logan and Pinhead in a Buddy Cop Film.
Psychic Daughter is now the Lead as a Year has passed and she's a Reporter.
She doesn't have enough serum for Blade to be reanimated but kept him all the same.
As is the recent trend with Full Moon and these Films, the Villains are- say it with me- more Nazis.
Yes, another Nazi Scientist and another evil plan.
What are they up to?
Blade gets a few chances to shine here as Nazi Agents work to enact their evil plan, which involves Toulon's Serum and 'a drop of electromagnetic energy.'
Yep, a drop.
Can our Heroine use her newfound/completely changed powers to save America from American Nazis?
Something something Richard Spencer being punched. You get it.
To find out, stream the Film now.
More of the same, which is not exactly a big compliment. Puppet Master Films have never been amazing- let's just be honest. Trust me- I own the first NINE OF THEM.
There are good ones. There are bad ones. There are very bad ones!
In this case, nothing really, really bad happens. The usual cheapness is on display yet again. To show a new Setting, we get a random shot of a building with minor tweaking- usually CGI to put a sign on it- for a good thirty seconds and then everything plays out on a disconnected Interior Set.
They kept up the trick of having the Puppet move via man in suit digitally composed onto the background, which is nice. There's not too much of it, unfortunately though.
In its place, more puppet flailing, hand obviously just out of frame and other such tricks to make it look like this 5–7-inch puppet is somehow taking down fully grown people.
Thankfully there's not much CGI blood here- so another positive.
This is the kind of low-budget Film that doesn't aspire to be much and achieves that goal nicely. I'm working on my backhanded compliments- I hope you like them.
I'll leave you with this Character making the face I make every time I hear about another Puppet Master or Evil Bong Film...
If you're familiar with how Full Moon Films play and feel today, this is no different. It's just a shame that Blade is sidelined for 2/3 of the runtime.
