I first watched this movie when my aunt and uncle rented this movie for me when I went to visit them in ohio. I thought it was a great movie and was really beginning to enjoy cinema.
A lot of people say that this is too much plot for a puppet master movie, but I say nay. I think Charles band turns out reasonably good movies for not being high budget entries.
Taking place in 1941, when Andre Toulon (Guy Rolfe) first started bringing his puppets to life with his wife Elsa (Sarah Douglas) and how he entertained kids back in World War II in Germany.
A scientist at a morgue named Dr. Hess (Ian Abercrombie) who has invented a top secret formula that brings his attendents to life discovers that Andre and Elsa are using it to bring their puppets to life so a NAZI named Gestapo kidnaps Andre along with his nasty leader Major Krauss (Richard Lynch) in which he kills Elsa and is then whisked away by one of the NAZI's named Gestapo.
However, along the way Gestapo is killed by the puppets as they take action to protect their master and they all escape.
Suddenly Andre creates a new puppet of his own named Six Shooter to seek revenge on the murder of his wife along with using Elsa's essence into a new puppet he made for her named Leech Woman. Meanwhile, Krauss tries to hunt Toulon down since he knows the formula in which he uses to create more of his puppets to kill his cult since they have already done away with many of his men including the sleazy NAZI General Mueller (Walter Gottell) prevented by Six Shooter but he is in for a shocking surprise when he finds out what puppet is after him.

My only complaint with this movie is the fact that the original puppet master starts with the death of Andre Toulon in 1939 two years before this movie is set. I wonder how this plot hole was allowed to go through?
