ADVENTURES IN POUNDLAND HORROR - No 8 - PUPPET MASTER

PUPPET MASTER
TAG LINE : EVIL COMES IN ALL SIZES

Another CHARLES BAND production and this time its fucking great. The spirit of 80s Horror with nary a bimbo in sight - some cool Milf's though - IRENE MIRACLE is hot to trot thought but I digress.
The film starts with the death of the original Puppet Master in the 1930,s but only after he has hidden his creations in the hotel room wall.
The puppets ( Tunneler - who has a drill bit head, Leech woman who barfs leeches onto her victims, Pin Head - big body, little head,Blade - a knife wielding psychopath & Jester the brains of the crew) are spot on - actually managing to mutilate and maim their victims in ever more gory and imaginative ways.
Cut to the 80's - big hair and shoulder pads - the puppets have come into the hands of an magician searching for imortality.
A motley collection of psychics and oddballs are all killed as the film charges to a banquet with mutilated dead guests sat at the dinner table.
The ending where the puppets turn on their master who is trapped in an art deco lift is all you'd want it to be, complete with chopped off fingers (which spurt green blood??!!) and a giant leech down the throat. Apparently there are loads of sequels to this movie and according to the IMDB website, a new sequel is being made at the moment!
All in all an hour and half well spent.
4 stars and a leech.
Warning: this film contains scenes with a stuffed dog and lots and lots of leeches!
