Andre Toulon's living puppets are back, this time in the possession of Dr. Magrew (George Peck), who runs a house of marvels and is experimenting to create the perfect being, without all the inner conflict and torment of humans. To do so, he recruits a talented young woodcarver named Tank (Josh Green). But Magrew's plans get complicated when his daughter (appealingly played by Emily Harrison) falls for the young man. Fans of the Puppet Master series will probably enjoy this sixth installment. The three leads are well cast, the production design shows some imagination, and the script works--until the abrupt and nonsensical ending. It's as if the last reel were missing, which might explain its actual running time of 78 minutes (not the 90 minutes promised on the case). The puppets also seem less animated than in previous films; nevertheless, they still manage to get their whacks in. Trivia factoid: director 'Victoria Sloane' is one of several stage names used by David DeCoteau, who also directed Puppet Masters III and 7. --Geof Miller

Rating:  - A Very Slight Improvement in the Puppet Master Series
After sitting through the two previous train wrecks that were Puppet Master 4 and 5, I felt that this series had really no where to go but up. Thankfully, with Curse of the Puppet Master, the storyline goes totally away from the previous 2 movies. Though apparently the plot of this film rips off the old Sci-Fi Horror movie called Sssssss. Its a about a young man named Robert a.k.a "Tank" who is hired by the "new" puppet master named Dr. Magrew to help create the perfect puppet. Dr. Magrew has been ... Read More
Rating: - What happend to the ending?
I was really enjoying this Puppet Master until the very end. What kind of an excuse for an ending was that? As it sucks you in, has you wondering whats going to happen, it's just all of a sudden over and the credits begin to roll.
It's like they ran out of funding for the movie and didn't have any money left to shoot any more cause I cant understand why the heck anyone would just make an ending like that be over before the blink of an eye.
The rest of the film was kinda ... Read More
Rating:  - Full Moon pulls a "Roger Corman"
If you take the Puppet Master series for what it is then it was a fairly strong direct-to-video B-franchise with its first 5 entries. Puppet Master 6 (released under the title Curse of the Puppet Master) however is the major drop of the series and was made when Full Moon Pictures was having some finacial trouble. During this hard time at Full Moon they pumped out really cheap and really lame sequels in their successfull franchises (Subspecies IV and Trancers 6). Curse comes out better than some of their ...

Rating:  - Puppet Master Back on Track!!
I'll skip the synopsis since adequate ones are already given. Since this is the most readily available full-length Puppet Master movie, most of you are likely to view this one first. I have to say that this sequel was far better than Parts 4 & 5. If you already are a fan of this series, then you'll likely enjoy this movie since it captures much of the same charm that were in the first 3. The storyline itself is interesting enough for a b-movie, and you really get a sense of who these characters (and ... Read More
Rating:  - PART 6 - A FUN B MOVIE
Things were getting tired and cheaper by part 6 of the Puppet Master series but there was still some fun to be had with everybody's favorite murderous puppets! The cast is solid, and there's a nice feeling of mystery to this one, and those lovable killer puppets keep things entertaining and fun for 90% of this flawed flick. Take it for what it is, pop some corn, enjoy a cold beverage, sit back and enjoy.
