   An
                            eccentric and crazed billionaire named
                            Virgil Travis (Jack Maturin) who has a
                            head the size of a avacado has made his
                            latest creation on some blood thristy
                            killing dolls while residing in his
                            mansion as well as keeping a female rock
                            group forcing them to play on command
                            while he has killed people he trusted and
                            betrayed him sets them out to kill more
                            on his enemies who have wronged himHe meets up with his match on a woman
                            named Moira Yulin (Debra Mayer) and
                            finding love, both of which come in the
                            form of a woman who is even more evil and
                            twisted than he is.
 
   Opening credits surrounding objects and so fourth looked amusing to watch as I thought that maybe I'd be entertained but I was wrong while starting to watch this flick.When the story starts a businessman of some sort named Howard Loftus enters a mansion with his assistant Cindy Agami doing a deal with Virgil Travis as this person is wearing a mask to hide his head. The situations 
                          looked fair while watching this.
 The bizarre happenings surround them as in a cell there's a female group of rockers belting out music in which this happens as to when Virgil is going to do something deadly. Plus he introduces these two to his doll creations in which has nice close up camera shots on them as their facial looks were supposed to look creepy but I found them to look funny.
 Then the death toll happens when these two innocent people are tied to a chair with a good shot on  Howard   when a drill is about to plurge
                          in his chest as he shows good frightening
                          expressions but however isn't convincing
                          with the yelling or screaming. At the
                          same with Cindy  when something happens to
                          her. She was quite annoying in fact. However, the scene grabs attention wondering if the drill will kill them. Plus the dolls do something deadly too. Sound familiar to another Full Moon Pictures of the makers? What's more bizarre is when Virgil moves his mask and reveals his tiny head. This was more corny than it was scary.
 Along in the story I spotted a seductive mistress Moira Yulan talking nasty towards what seems to be her bitch and husband Harrison when he kisses her and acts silly. I rolled my eyes when spotting this outcome. It was pathetic.
 A good scene involving a bodybuilder George  Warbeck in his weightlifting room
                            trying to find out who's spying on him
                            with good shots on the dolls peeking as
                            well as attacking too.
 While this is happening I spotted  a terrific reaction on another person by getting
                            aggressive and pointing his gun when he
                            enters the room and being attacked too. Which both of these scene's were probably the best scene's in this golden turkey.
 Often other times in Virgil's headquarters by forcing the girl rock band in their cell to perform while another killing spree was happening as this was getting to be totally ridiculous and annoying as hell. Yet good shots on all of this.
 The perverted Yulin couple start to get kinky again wearing leather and the husband is chained up with whipping devices and so fourth which was of course lame to watch.
 Afterwards, Moira gets charming and lustful towards Yulin in which he is wearing his mask while these moments are happening but this like the rest of the story is uninspired.
 Moira goes back to her husband to do more kinky stuff which includes tying him up with barbwire as this doesn't look too comforting. Then she leaves the room in which she has a deadly plan for him and boy it doesn't look pretty when the dolls arrive which may please certain fans that like horror violence.
 A nice shocked look on Moira after
                            Virgil Travis removes his mask as well as the
                            dolls attacking her and her lying on the
                            ground screaming with him looking over
                            her and speaking evilly towards her.
 All hell breaks loose in Virgil's femlae rock group escapes from the cell and so fourth with deadly situations.
 Afterwards Virgil's clown sidekick 
                          Mr. Mascaro announces to us watching an alternate ending with a happier vibe. So they show this which was ridicoulous and moronic.
 Bottom line is that Charles Band tried to make another version of Puppet
                              Master but he failed majorly as
                              this was difficult to watch cause it will
                              bore the hell out of you with no point to
                              the story at all so what's the point?
                              Well Full Moon Pictures probably was
                              hurting for money so they'd try anything
                              and I bet were humiliated after the
                              results.
 The vhs box cover looks impressive and
                              the story may seem like something to
                              watch while reading it on the back but by
                              all means a complete torture to watch and
                          not the least bit scary either.
 
 The acting is in
                            average taste as lead actor Jack Maturin (Virgil Travis) seemed to be so-so with his evil attitude
                            but he tends to get carried away alot and
                            lose that evil charm he's supposed to
                            have. His energy seems to shine off in a fair matter thpough so I will give him credit for that. Debra Mayer (Moira Yulin) however does her job
                            well enough with her slick, sleazy and
                            evil speaking as well as trying to seem
                            innocent and charming too which showed
                            her versatality in a descent mode. She does well speaking smoothly in a scene and acting tempting towards someone to marry her.
 William Paul Burns (Mr. Mascaro) had the right
                            looks and deep speaking as an assitant to
                            the evil Travis which he knew his part
                            inside out and had good timing with his
                            seriousness that it's quite comedic on
                            what is going on with him.
 Warren Draper (Harrison Yulin) was cheesy with his
                            performance but yet really lived to play
                            a perverted type in the film making his
                            role realistic at the same time and a
                            reminds you of those morons you can't
                            stand that has only one thing on their
                            mind when it comes to women. He reacts well while getting tortured to death.
 Phil Fondacero (Hylas) annoyed the hell out
                            of me the most with his high strung
                            attitude as you'd want to kill him to
                          shut him up. However like his other performances in shows that I've seen he comes off memorably.
 
 A woman briefly takes off
                            her top with her breasts exposed. 
 A person is drilled in the
                            chest with tons of blood splurting outSome bloody stabbings mainly by the dolls
 The odd blood smears on corpses
 An eye is stabbed
 A person is tortured in wire
 
 Richardo
                            Bizzetti was impressive with his
                            synthesizer playing along with the heavy
                            metal guitar riffs in certain scene's
                            especially the tragic moments when the
                            dolls attack and kill. Almost reminds me
                            of a scene in Carrie at
                            the senior prom when she unleshes her
                            powers in a cheesy kind of way. He also
                            has the odd circus type music which
                            almost sounds similar to the Puppet
                              Master flicks.         |
